Description This Saturday I went out for a walk. My day was no good and I didn't even expect to use my camera. However, going my favourite route around the lake I discovered this cloudscape. I sat down and awaited weird formations to occur. That was the best therapy - my day suddenly converted into calm triumph. I sat there for maybe a whole hour in peace, observing the sky, the water with its minimal waves and letting the Sun warm me up. That said, it does pay off to wear black clothes

Canon EOS 350D + tripodus + polarizing

I like the way it draws your eyes from the water up to the clouds.

the colors are so great, i really should try out a polirizing outside of photoshop..

on the thoughts...
i wounder if it would help the image if u'd cut just a tad from the bottom of the water
just a thought... anyways, i love how you've captured the background in a asymmetrical way but with a very solid and eye catching feel... skies are cool too

cheers

it's... it's so clean...
I'm not a big fan of filters... but polarizing sure works when you'r around waters...

Great work... I like the composition of 4/8 sky 1/8 land and 3/8 water...

Great work all around..

Love the effect of the polarizing filter on this one, I'm seriously looking into one - how much did it set you back? Anyways, love the cloud formation and the water - a perfect balance. This is a very earth photo with the browns of the island and the trees as well Well captured my friend.

peaveyGTR [2005-05-15 01:58:57 +0000 UTC]

looks cold

looks very peaceful

the entire shot seems to wrap the viewer up in the same kind of thoughts u probably had at the time.. hence the large amount of viewers/favs on this one. It's an artistic shot and a good reason why nature photography is so much more

Nice feathery clouds you captured there, finally a good example of polarizer use. The dark water surface at the bottom could be a tad less pronounced for my taste, but a nice capture nethertheless...

It looks like a very nice place and a lovely day, correctly exposed and polafilter does the job right.
But maybe I see too much of such nature, so I feel it lacks that little extra to go the extra kilometre
Keep shooting

The best therapy ever. Helps to clear your head and feed your soul with Nature wonders. I like to do the same in my most favorite places. This one is stunningly beautiful. And the picture is perfect in every way. Take care, Mang.

Very nice sky. I think most of us enjoyed your description, too.

Did you use some kind of filter to get the sky to look like that?

Fishermang In reply to CyborgSuzy [2005-05-11 18:25:15 +0000 UTC]
