Friday 13th duck Photo

Photographer’s Note

Yesterday we went on a bike trip inspite of the cloudy weather.

An opening in the sky and a duck made me take out the camera from the rucksack.

Warmified and darkened shadows.

Thanks,
Magnus

:D

Hej Magnus,
Jeg håber at der ikke skete noget uheldigt med anden pga. fredag den 13.! I hvert fald skaffede den dag dig muligheden til et fantastisk billede med meget smukke og varme farver! :-D
Bedste hilsner,

Hey Magnus. Well I can see why you break out the camera for this. The light, if only briefly, was magnificent. I like your post-processing decisions too, especially the darkening of the shadows. I never would have thought to do that but it's given you some excellent silhouettes and contrast. That duck must be going mach 10. Why? Look at that long duck wake! :) Nice one Magnus!

Jeppe (18623) 2005-05-15 1:47

Oh - this reminds me of a similar shot I took last year - I will concider posting it. I like the golden colours and the mix of sky and the hole in the sky - the Duck gives a fine extra element in the image - well done Magnus.

RGatward (19751) 2005-05-15 3:03

Yes, the duck does it here, pleasant sunset shot anyway, but just gives it that extra.

Hej Magnus,
Beautiful combination of nature and sunset, the warm colors and the play of light with the clouds are splendid !
Have a nice sunday,

ChristianS (2997) 2005-05-15 5:14

Hej Magnus, otroligt fint ljus, härliga moln och fantastiska färger. Den ensamma ankan är kronan på verket. Mycket bra gjort! Ha en trevlig dag!

Hälsningar, Christian

jinju (14265) 2005-05-15 5:34

A solitary, lonely photo. The duck so alone. Usually when we see ducks, they seem to be in a large group. Ive always thought of them as social animals. Or, a mother duck is followed by her little ducklings. But this guy seems so utterly alone in the world. hence tha contrast between the bright colors, the vivid golden hues, which seem happy and upbeat to me, and this loneliness. Good story here.

Coyotyto (1299) 2005-05-15 8:35

Tjena Magnus !
Vilket ljus ! Och färgerna, då ! The clouds are so nice, and I recognize here the Half Impulse Power duck, that was caught in this friday 13th space-time irregularity. It came back here, and you caught it at the right moment before he disapeared again !

Jättefint !
Youssef.

Tja Magnus
Snacka om magi hela sjön är fylld med flytande guld, den ankan bara måste heta Joakim.

Fantastisk
Hälsningar

Hi Magnus, A duck with a good luck, who was lucky enough to be captured in your picture with beautiful background and cloud. Well seen, well captured, and well taken picture.
