Blue Skylash at Dawn :o)

fantastic light captured!! awesome!

and soo this is the shadow of the deligtful d700 + extreme wide 14-24..

The machine of a genious, indeed!! ;D

Love this color

I've seen this photo soo many times already but I can't get enough of it, and this is by far my favorite part :)

Front Page Explore #1. Thank YOU

A unique moment. I had some light bathing the wooden ramp/docking area from behind me. The sky was cloudy and lit by some of the lights in the distance. and then the pre dawn light breaking thru .......it all changed and turned grey once it got brighter

DRI: Digital nBlending including layer masking of 5 exposures. Mostly layer masking work. blend mode only for the wooden ramp . 100% natural tones. No filters or color enhancement mode used

well my wife did'nt believe, it my Mom would LOL ;-) The 14-24 takes no filters and I don't intend spending on a singhray just yet. the curves adjustment may have contrasted the colors but again no s/w filters applied either.

The best part is that you were there, ready to shoot when mother nature presented you with the beauty. I always chuckle when I see other photogs giving/packing up when there's still so much potential for action. No risk, no win! ;-)
