Evening at the Loch Photo

Photographer’s Note

Strathclyde loch is an artificial loch in South Lanarkshire, near Hamilton. It lies near The Clyde River between Motherwell and Hamilton. There are facilities for sailing in the lake, and many major competitions have been conducted here. Originally the site of the Low Parks of the Hamilton Estate, is was converted to a Loch in 1975. The site also has a Theme park, camping and caravaning site, the woods are great for a walk, you will even find ruins of a Roman Bathhouse nearby

A piece of art. Great colors and good use of low exposure.

Hi Manoj,

Nice evening shot and I like the smoothing effect the exposure length has had on the water and sky, and I like your use of the rocks to provide the foreground interest. The overall image is a little soft, and the horizon's not quite level which is distracting my eye a bit. Would be easy to fix in PP though.

Cheers
Simon

Hi Manoj,

This is better light than some of the other Strathclyde Park shots. The rocks look really good backlit. Well done

Graeme.

Hi Mohan,

I love such kind of images. The effect of almost "silky" water is great! Good colors and composition with the rocks.

Hi,

Beautiful photograph, I like the way the water appears to be like silk. I also like the way you have captured the stillness and quietness of the area!
Well Done

Way to go here! In fact allow me one or two comments on this photo. First of all put the copyright note in a more subtle way and preferably on the left (generally somewhere not detail crowded). Second, maybe you'd like to add more sharpness to your theme, try Unsharp Mask with low values for beginning and see where it takes you.

Hi Manoj
The long exposure has given the water the look of ice. There is a nice mixture of textures in the rocks and the water.

Hello Manoj
J'ai visité une partie de l'Ecosse et me suis régalée de ces magnifiques lochs mais je n'en ai jamais vu un seul qui ait autant de poésie que le tien. Très beau.

it's a beautiful shot Manoj, i like how you bisect the shot with the horizon, not a usual technique but it somehow works here.

cheaphal (51) 2009-12-01 19:34

Did you use ND filter to shoot it? It looks amazing.

Hi Manoj,
you have composed a nice scene with great light and sharpness. Composition is so good. Depth is great. Nice look of the stones in FG and horizon. Great magical colours is sky. I really enjoyed it. Very well done. Tfs.
Have a nice day.
