French River Blues II

    Newer Older

    This is from last year's solo trip to the mouth of the French River. It had been raining off and on all day, and I was out shooting in the evening after setting up my camp. I stayed out till dark, then started paddling back to my campsite...good thing I took a compass bearing because I was heading in the wrong direction.

    When you shoot a long exposure about 1/2 hr after sunset you get these great blues.

      Really lovely, especially the way the tree silhouettes and the lines of the canoe contrast with the smooth rocks and water. Gives me instant "paddling nostalgia."

      Excellent

      I see that you like Daniel Lanois. Do you have / have you seen "Here is What is"? A must see for Lanois fans.

      Talking about blue tones? How do you adjust WB on your d200?

    6. Peter Bowers 62 months ago | reply

      @Bobulix...I just have mine on Auto in camera...so this is what the camera came up with.

      there is a way to set your WB manually but I've never done it myself

      Its easy to adjust in PP with any reasonable converter

      Love the sharpness of the canoe, and captured the aloneness? solitude maybe a better word, to perfection.
