November 2024 - Sailing at Sunrise

About the Image(s)

Nikon z8, 28-400 @ 105mm ISO 64 F16 1/320

This photo was taken this past fall at Mahone Bay, Nova Scotia, Canada at sunrise. I was fortunate to be there on a day when many of the sail boats were in the harbor awaiting their turn to be dry docked for winter. The morning light you see in the image is just as it was that day. I wanted the image to evoke a sense of drama as the helmsman sailed towards the morning sun. Although I hesitated putting the sun near the center I did it anyway because it just looked right to me…I’d appreciate hearing what others think. Thanks for looking.

I like this a lot and it makes your early morning rise well worth the effort. A simple but very atmospheric composition.   Posted: 11/18/2024 13:44:07

Hi Norm,
What strikes me the most is the lighting. The backlighting creates dramatic silhouettes. The centrally placed sun creates symmetry and acts as a visual anchor. Well done!   Posted: 11/18/2024 21:33:19
