Henshaw Sky Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

From a recent series of shots taken locally, at Henshaw Pond. Here I tried to emphesize the vastness of the sky with a wide angle lens, yet still retain some foreground detail.

Since posting this shot in 2005, I'm pleased to say that Canon Europe chose this photo to appear in their 2007 product catalog.

Bonjour Michael,
j'aime beaucoup ce paysage calme, baigné d'une belle lumière et de couleurs superbes

Beautiful place Michael.
Very good picture.
Nice colors and sharpness.
Love the reflection of the sky on the water.
The sky and the clouds also are very impressive.
Well done.

Hello Michael. A well composed shot, with good reflections. Perhaps a tiny bit oversaturated with the purple tinge to the water, but I still like the effect. The contrast and colours are good, as is the right level of sharpness. Because the foreground colour and detail is so strong, it overwhelms the sky. But the scene remains powerfully rendered. Well captured.
John

Well I have to say that what makes this photo is the lovely color of the trees on the other side of the lake. Side lighting is always the best approach to capturing trees. Nice shot.

Great clarity and reflection in the water - great blues. Taken @17mm?

This is a very lovely mix of sky and cloud and water, Michael. The rocks in the foreground and the bushes at left really do wonders to lead the eye in. If you want to emphasize the vastness of the sky even more, you can put your horizon even lower, but this seems very effective as you have it here. Nice one!

Hey Michael, this is a great photo. A great landscape and super sky reflected in the water! To top it off I love the rock in the foreground.

Well done!

Fantastic very strong colors. The detail is also very good and the reflections to the water is great. Very nice!
