Dakota Dawn III Photo

Photographer’s Note

Dakota Dawn III

The same morning a little bit later than my Previous Post ..

Taken a few moments after Firesteel Creek (looking the other way on the same bridge) ...

From the same spot but a few months later and at a much wider angle than these images:
Dakota Dawn
Dakota in Purple (#2)

This is a wonderful little fishing bridge right over Firesteel Creek as it feeds into Lake Mitchell. .. obviously one of my favorite places for a quiet dawn.

Great colorful shot, but also nice colors and patterns in the clouds and great details in the ripples in the water. I like it better knowing it's a sunrise photo rather than a sunset photo, because a lot fewer of us get up that early to take pictures.

Very nice! I like the colors combination and the skies. The setting sun reflection in the water is also very very pleasant!

Hi John,
It's a wonderful sunset, with all that expanse of water and sky, those picturesque clouds, the texture of the water and all those tones.
I sense a bit of tilt, but that can be caused by the woods on the horizon and it makes me feel that it was shot from an airplane flying very low, which is nice.
Regards, José.

Hello John,
A lovely and serene image of this Eastern South Dakota lake. This region is rich in birds and would be a great place for a bird watcher and photographer. Well done!

Bonjour John,
le ciel est très particulier. Une photo bien partagée entre réalité et reflets qui sont aussi belle zone une que l'autre.
Des couleurs qui sont un peu plus saumoné que d'habitude.
J'aime la bande noire de forêts qui sse détache fort bien.
Une photo qui inspire le calme et le silence.

Best greetings.
Daniel.

Hi John,

You did a great job in this shot. What I love the most in this picture is the beautiful light of the sunrise. Without the foreground water, this picture is just a normal one. This is great.

Wonderful job
Sothy

John,
Great color and lighting is the sunrise. The patterns in the clouds and the silhouette of the trees make this an outstanding shot.
