Title: Autumn Silver
Post by: Eb on November 13, 2018, 04:32:06
Nikon gear gathers no rust.  While the Nikon bodies are doing fine, the photographer's body resists getting out.  My friends persuaded me to join with them at our favorite photo hole.  Carrying light, D7200 and 70-200 f/4 at Pitt Polder.  I'll link these ones and add as I endure computer time:

Both images are real eye catchers, very well framed and processed! Well worthy of large prints ;)

Welcome back, Eb!

Both images convey pleasant atmosphere.  I also love the light you captured.

Frank, what you see in the first image is bright, glancing autumnal sun light on sedges and reflective lily pads strewing a waterway, a marsh or "polder."  The mid ground is a spit which is tree covered, reflective leaves.  The dark background is a mountainside in shade.  I processed the overall contrast of the image to emphasize the whites and the blacks.  I surmise that I have failed you with this image - if I have to describe the content.  Yet, I understand that this scene may seem unfamiliar and difficult to "translate."  I was worried about that.  One has to find out!  In any case, I enjoyed how the light played and made the capture with this high contrast rendering in mind.

Akira, I do hope I can stay for a while.  My photographic output has been severely curtailed - as has the lust for new equipment.  How is your classical guitar playing going?  It is my greater enjoyment, at the moment!  Unfortunately, age, mind and body, impede my run for the money, in the enjoyment of this matter too.

I can sympathize, am already saving for the next camera model.
Btw wonderful images Eb.

I understand the picture as an abstract. What my comment aimed at was to understand the biological structure pictured. You helped me with that

I throughout enjoyed the images. First still holds something extra. Great monochrome with fantasy flavor. Love the light.

    Thanks for sharing

Eb, even though you have posted much less recently, you proved here that your photographic eyes are still going strong.

I had once gone to the full-fledged Panasonic GH5, but returned to D750.  GH5 made the shooting all too easy and less challenging, which made my photography a bit boring.

My main musical instrument is th electric bass.  But I recently had my classical guitar (a replica of 19c Lacote) maintained.  It is a beautiful instrument and does make me feel like playing it more!
