Elkhorn Slough, in the morning. As taken from a car. I went to Santa Cruz today, and since that is in another county, I took a few shots on the way there and the way back, while still in my own county. :)This is facing east, and you can see all of yesterday's rain starting to evaporate into the air in the background. The ground was positively steaming this morning! :)
And, since I had a hard time choosing today, here is an alternate photo. It's a somewhat zoomed in shot of the skyline of the city of Monterey and part of Pacific Grove, from Seaside across the bay. This was handheld, obviously. ;) I just really liked the shape the lights took.
Amazing shot. I love the lighting and composition.
ReplyDeleteVery nicely framed and that second shot is really weird. What an amazing effect!!
ReplyDeleteThe beautiful colours and the way the background recedes to ever-lighter pastel misty shades is just beautiful. Awesome that the foreground is so nice and sharp and the background becomes so misty and ethereal. Great job.
ReplyDeleteThe second one is a very typical handheld skyline. They are all interesting in their own right...
Oh a lovely spot, the reflections are awesome in the lake.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful landscape shot, the clouds are breathtakingly misty and sort of spooky too.
Great landscape. I think you've got the exposure exactly right. Nice work.
ReplyDeleteFantastic shot with the landscape, it almost looks like a painting. Good job! The second shot looks like there's a bunch of disco dancers having a party :)
ReplyDeleteAwesome photo phrog! It's a beuatiful scene.
ReplyDeleteThe one with the jiggly lights looks kind of neat. Those are fun to do every once in a while :)
Lovely landscape, some great atmospheric perspective there! And in a funny way, I really like the abstract second shot as well!
