Still Morning Promise Photo

Photographer’s Note

Taken on a lovely, cold and calm spring morning last week.

This small boat harbour is situated right outside my office. Me and a colleague were out playing with new equipment before starting work: me with a D2X and 17-55 f/2.8; him with an EOS 40D and 70-200mm f2/8 IS L. He shot me a new profile picture at the time.

I'm starting to get to grips with the Nikon side of life and I have to say I love the handling. The D2X is so great to work with and is becoming second nature very quickly.

This is a simple shot, trying to pick out some of the details of small-boat life and still fill the frame with that wonderful sky and sea.

Thanks for looking
Craig

Craig,
Excellent shot with a great reflection which gives us nice depth and balance. The vertical format gives us a nice view of the great colors in the sky. The lighting and colors are great with nice sharpness and detail.
The early morning light creates nice warm tones on the stones and boats.
TFS,
Asa
