Back to Focus Photo

Photographer’s Note

From the last picture of the Borgholm Castle Window which contained no Water, no jetty, no boat and no Swedish cottage I today try to get back to focus.

The same goes for this guy who suddenly walked out to the end of the footbridge, sat down to try to fix his glasses - trying to get his focus back.

The place is just outside Karlskrona - the city is located on the other side of the water called Danmarksfjärden (Bay of Denmark).

:D

A very good composition and a quality photo. The silhouete of the man seated is a must in this beautiful atmosphere, scenery and mirror water light magic landscape. Excelent sharpness, colors an management of light.

Congratulations and have a good weekend.

Very nice photo with the silhouette of this man. The nature with the water looks very nice here. The swan is als a nice element. Photo with good quality. Nice work!

Bonjour Magnus,
Tres belle composition, j'aime beaucoup la vision de cette homme, seul, assis sur cette jetée devant ce magnifique paysage.
Un moment qui inspire a la détente et a la reflexion!
Bien amicalement Thierry

Hej Magnus, stämningsfull bild och väl komponerad. Bryggan leder blicken mot svanen och vidare mot ön och skapar ett fint skärpedjup.

Mvh, Christian

Hi Magnus,
Yeah, you are back to the Magnus signature scenery pictures. I like it very much. This is another excellent water front shot. I like the open water and the beautiful scene in the background. I like the silhouette style of the person (is that you?) sitting at the dock trying to find the focus. I like the swan in the middle of the water provided a surprised decoration; I like the grass and the driveway in foreground in framing this beautiful picture. Well done.

Hi Magnus, I notice that you’re very carefully are coming back to you old habits. Only a jetty. I’m curious with old typical Magnus elements we see to morrow.

Hej Magnus,
Ja, her er der et rigtigt MvS-billede igen! ;-) Og det er et flot et med manden der sidder der så ensom... Svanen i det fjerne er også meget smuk! :-D
Hilsner,
Lars

Good management of light problems, Magnus. Although the water is pale and sky appears dull, the scene itself is very artistic. Good POV and tight composition. The tall reeds/rushes add greatly, as do the other touches such as the interesting stonework, the pose of the figure, and of course the swan. Well done.

Nice moment and well captured too. The relaxing feeling in this photo is quite nice as well the soft colors and silhouette of the man.

Hello Magnus
J'apprécie la netteté de cette composition; je le remarque à la bonne définition du cygne.
Le cadrage est parfait et je note une bonne maîtrise de l'exposition.

Hello Magnus
I appreciate the clearness of this composition; I notice it by the good definition of the swan. Framing is perfect and I note a good control of the exposure.

A fine moode you captured here - I like the pose you got from that guy and the swan as a fine extra element in the photo - thanks Magnus for showing this Danish related place :-)

A good one Magnus. The big foreground and low crop on top gives a fine depth. The Swan is a nice extra. And the guy in silhouette is in a perfect spot at the end of the bridge, it doesn´t matter that he is dead center as everything else is of center.

I like the compostion and especially the reeds on the left which balance the picture. It also looks good if the land at the top were to be cropped.
Regards Colin
