Early Morning Arrival, a photo from Bayern, West

Photographer's Note

Yesterday I posted a view of Lindau on Bodensee in Germany. This island like village is a very popular place in the summer with people coming here primarily from the continent. Germans love it here. Lodging and Parking can be a problem here. This is a photo of a passenger ferry arriving in Lindau, along side the port's lighthouse erected in the 1850s. Because of the early time I had some difficulty with this shot, if I brightened it, I lost the sky completely and if I darkened the area , the ferry was almost gone. So I tried going down the middle. Tomorrow, I will present a look at the passengers that disembarked for the town.

Hello Roger,

And in the middle it is just OK. Beautiful lighthouse, I see there the people, so I would like to climb it at once :). This ferry is also nice, not the huge monster. Good for a short trip on the lake.
I was in Lindau and made a trip by boat but it was long ago - in 1980.

Hello Roger,
I think you have managed the lighting very well retaining the early morning mood. The tight framing puts the accent on the ferry, whilst the lighthouse adds some further graphical interest. I like the pastel tones.

Hello Roger,

Reply to your write about Bruges, nevertheless is almost nothing change in Bruges, the government ensures that everything stays the same, culture value.

We get again a picture out of the same series with the difficult colours.
But with the lighthouse beside the boat makes your picture very well.
Wonderful nature picture with a wide panorama about the area.
Your picture became perfect taken, excellent clear and sharp.
Very well done, TFS .

Have a nice day,
John

Hi Roger,

The subject is well framed. The point of view is showing the details of the ferry and of the lighthouse. The good luminosity is giving nice tints to the colours. Have a nice day.

Hi Roger,
Lindau is a charming city. And boat is a great way to arrive there. The tower at the harbour entrance is beautiful. It's so nice that Bodensee has active international ship traffic.
