The Oyster Cove Photo

Photographer’s Note

Trip to Tasmania – Day 5

Hobart to Bruny Island – 100km along the Huon and Channel Highways and a ferry across D’Entrecasteaux Channel.

First stop was in Kettering, a coastal town on the D’Entrecasteaux Channel, south of Hobart, the capital city of Tasmania.

The area was first explored by Bruni D'Entrecasteaux in 1792 and was settled in the early 1800s by timber cutters, whalers and sealers. Life was hard and the people who lived in the area rarely settled for long preferring the life in Hobart Town to the whaling stations and logging camps. Today the area is noted for its orchards (apples, cherries, pears) and Kettering has become an important service centre for the local farmers. Like so much of the area south of Hobart, both towns have become centers for commuters and alternative lifestyle dwellers who find the peacefulness suits them. Kettering is the centre for fishing in the region. It has two major marinas, South Haven Marina and Oyster Cove Marina, as well as many smaller, privately owned jetties. Approximately 400 boats are located in Kettering whether on moorings or in marinas.

The main posting is a view of the boats in Oyster Cove Marina, while WS1 is a wider view of the bay from the town of Kettering.

Ola Antonio,

The reflections on the water are a plus in this composition. The marina does look nice and give us an indication of how busy this area is. Good colours and light. I like this shot. Thanks :-)

Hello Antonio,

Without wind and strong blue sky can you make this wonderful image.
Also the reflections are very lovely together with the boats in the marina.
Sharpness and clarity are superb.
Excellent composition, nice of colours and good presentation too. TFS.

Have a nice weekend,
John.

Urs (2513) 2009-06-12 4:47

Dear Antonio

What made me click your picture was the reflection of the boats in the blue water. It's an excellent shot of a Marina with great DOF and vibrant colors. Nicely framed and executed.

Best regards and have a nice weekend
Urs

asajernigan (13929) 2009-06-12 5:51

Antonio,
Your composition is great using the reflection to create depth and balance for the shot. The boats create a diagonal through the scene giving the shot a sense of direction. The lighting and colors are great with excellent sharpness and detail.
TFS,
Asa

lucasgalodoido (16537) 2009-06-12 7:15

Olá Antônio,
acho sempre interessante todo esse efeito gráfico criado por esse emaranhado de mastros de velas dos barcos, e os reflexos ficaram muito bonitos em sua captura também. Belo trabalho.
Parabéns e Abraço

npecanhuk (13161) 2009-06-12 7:41

Olá António!
A luminosidade, as cores e esse reflexo dos barcos e seus mastros e motores, tudo fez desta foto algo bastante agradável, interessante e belo!
Gostei muito!
Parabéns, abraços e até logo!

Glass-like water reflecting an almost cloudless sky gives this an atmosphere of leisure. Composition depends on reflected curves formed by the tops of the masts - the upper one starts high, on the left, but the lower on is cut off on the left, giving most satisfying asymmetry.
Surprisingly, we have had some days like that here recently!

xuaxo (5649) 2009-06-12 9:23

Olá António,
Dá a impressão de ser um sítio sossegado, e também de gente com algum dinheiro.
Interessante o arco formado pela baía e também pelo céu.
Cumprimentos,
Francisco

Hello Antonio,

The forest of masts draw attention!
Otherwise the fresh and vivid colours are very attractive, proving the value of a cir pol filter...
A balanced composition with good details and fine mirror effect!

Greetings,

Hi Antonio, this photo is so perfectly sharp it hurts! The reflections are just amazing and the hues beautifully saturated. I really like the composition, great job. TFS, Lisa.

gunbud (27585) 2009-06-13 6:36

Hi Antionio,
I imagine that this place looks much different than it did years ago.
Love the differing tones of blue in sky and water and how the calm harbor catches such a stunning reflection of the marina.
Very informative note to go with you fine image.
Regards, Tom

ChrisJ (69618) 2009-06-13 8:34

as cores e contrastes estão ótimas e a água refletindo o céu como um perfeito espelho está ótimo.
Parabéns pela boa mostra.
Grande abraço,
Wagner.

mbasil (2117) 2009-06-15 17:25

What a beautiful morning, Antonio. Well recorded -- the reflection really makes the shot. Might be just a little bit of a tilt to the left that could be corrected (a couple degrees to the right should do it -- look for vertical lines on the masts).
Mike

PixelTerror (86036) 2009-06-15 22:27

HI Antonio
A nice and quiet moment by the harbor, well expsoed image
Have a nice day JY

leonorkuhn (13513) 2009-06-16 8:24

Olá Antonio,

Outro dia destes estava vendo a regata Hobart-Sidney. A foto está ótima, com esta profusão de mastros a perder de vista. Lindas cores e reflexos.

Abraços
Leonor

bona (2099) 2009-06-17 10:55

I'm not a fan of places with man y boats because the masts confuse my vision. Bu the reflection here is a marter piece. the reflect is better the my home mirror.
The blue sky is wonderfull too.

Regards
Andre

Didi (35782) 2009-06-17 14:53

Olà Antonio
I hade same lights condition for a similar subject last summer in Bouzigues in south France.
Very nice reflections on the calm waters.
Interesting curve of boats on the harbour.
Best regards.

francio64 (10486) 2009-06-18 6:54

Ciao Antonio,
bella vista d'insieme, avvalorata dai riflessi delle barche nell'acqua.

Ottima la gestione delle luci.

Francesco

darek1978 (11143) 2009-06-18 9:27

Hi Antonio,
I like this peaceful place, and you have very well positioned the curve of boats in the composition. Very sweet and quiet image. This reflection on the surface of the calm water is just fantastic. Congratulations!
Regards,
Darek

Charo (31651) 2009-06-18 15:30

Olá Antonio,
Muy bonita la brillante luz en un día espléndido. Excelente los reflejos y la composición, una captura que invita a soñar con un paseo por el mar.
Si alguna vez vienes por Galicia, mi marido y yo estaremos encantados de recibirte y enseñarte algunos lugares interesantes.
Um abraço,
Charo

lousat (15034) 2009-06-18 16:31

Ciao Antonio,i like a lot this view,the reflections,the wonderful sharpness but it's this fantastic electric blue to make a difference!! Very excellent work,my best compliments,have a nice day,LUCIANO

bakes888 (18055) 2009-06-18 22:56

Hi Antonio. A classic scene and beautifully captured. Boats are a bit of a magnet for me ;-). The calm water and reflections add a serene mood and all that blue sky hints at warmth. Nice capture and thanks for sharing.
Have a good weekend, Paul.

A very nice place and a very good view. Superb managment of light which give beautiful colors nad superb reflections. I like too the beautiful clouds in the sky and its reflectiosn in the water. Great and good photoworK.
Have a nice WE,
Roger

cfreire (11647) 2009-06-19 14:55

Oi, Antônio
Esta foto está simplesmente estupenda! Não há necessidade de falar sobre a qualidade da definição; o pov aplicado que capturou os reflexos dos barcos foi nota 10. Lindas cores, contrastes e enquadramento. Bela mostra. Abraço, Consuelo

batalay (20712) 2009-06-19 17:42

Olá Antonio,

The crisp weather in the autumn in down-under has allowed you to capture such such vibrant colors. I love the gradation of blue in the sky, and more dramatic and deeper gradation in the reflections. What a beautiful marina.

Warm regards,

Bulent

JCG (24899) 2009-06-21 2:09

Olá Antonio,

The colors and the management of the lights are superb on this photograph, thank you with the polarizing filter… A photograph from where it arises a very pleasant impression of calm. I like much the selected framing which gives a good balance to the image. Well done, thank you Antonio.

With all my friendships and very good Sunday,

Jean-Charles

Hej Antonio,
This is a reflection just worthy TE. A classical water reflection in a marine environment.
I like the strong blue tone a lot.

stego (22340) 2009-06-23 11:28

Olá António,
Uma bela vista da marina da "enseada da ostra". A luz e cores estão esplêndidas e também a compo,gosto imenso do U aberto formado pelos barcos. O WS também está excelente.
Um abraço,
José

josepmarin (33611) 2009-06-24 9:39

Olá António,
los barcos y sus mástiles tienen un fuerte grafismo y protagonizan la escena, pero la belleza del lugar donde se encuentran realza la calidad de la imagen.
La luz, los vivos colores y los reflejos en el agua están perfectos, y me gusta el encuadre asimétrico con un buen equilibrio de todos los elementos.
Bello trabajo.
Un abrazo,
Josep

Cada vez que vejo fotos tuas, sobretudo da Austrália, dá-me vontade de perguntar o que a(s) torna tão deslumbrante(s)se as fotos ou se é a própria Austrália.
Parece-me uma "circular question":)
