Dinghy Nights Photo

Photographer’s Note

Spent a week along Turbats Creek a tidal creek near Cape Porpoise Maine. At high tide the water was all the way up to the stilts that the cottage was on and at low tide could walk out to nearby Vanghn's Island. This shot was at low tide.

Hello Tom,
I like the composition here with the beached dinghy captured in the early evening against the interesting background silhouettes. Also, the pink blue tones in the sky, though I fear that you have perhaps gone a little too far with pp in this area, judging by the halos around the silhouettes.

Hello
We had the same idea about the photo,a photo with a boat
but taken from another point of view..
Your shot has a mystery,the scenery is very impressive,it looks being from another planet..
Splendid shot

Hello Tom,

Your scene in low light is wonderful while still available reddish, cloudy sky eye catching. The pillar and rocky formations worked very well with old white boat. Congratulations. Have a nice new week.

Friendly Regards,

Hello Tom,
What an alone boat in the dim environment, impressive colorful sky, woods and rocks make the scene look natural, good pov to frame it all, thanks for sharing a silent corner.

Hi Tom,

Nice evening shot of the dingy and like the light lighting in this image, Every thing is well seen and the clarity is prefect in the low light condition. Very nice colors and the sky is beautiful. Great job Tom.

Best regards

Hi Tom,
It sure sounds like a wonderful trip!! Is that the place you stayed in the BG? It looks like a kayaker's dream.

hi Tom

Have not see your post for a while. But this is a great comeback photo to show very impressive boat subject and placed in a most unique environment to create a very different mood and impact.

I think the colorful stones play a good role to make this scene very attractive. Good work.

tfs, bill
