Critique Welcomed Misty Morning

[Chris Dodkin]

Mist might be a over-statement, it's more of a 'marine layer' around these parts.

However - it provides lovely soft lighting, and often hangs around through mid-morning at this time of year.

The buggy behind the bike is not for kids, but for carrying surfboards (of course)

Oh, that is very beautiful light and colour. Comp ain't bad either. Beautiful.

 

[Julian de'Courcy]

Looks good Chris. Mist, fog and a wee bit of sun behind is the light I have often got some success with. That blue is gorgeous with the mist.

 

[Chris Dodkin]

Thanks chaps - the over-all feel was wonderful with the soft light and color palette - very serene

I actually look forward to cloudy/misty days now as I see them providing more 'mood' than sunny day shots

Any issues with dull photos have been resolved with better PP tools - got to love new technology!

 

[Pete Askew]

Wonderfully soft colours Chris. Very 50s! And a super composition with the faint tower to the left and the horizon extending from the deck. Great stuff.

 

[Chris Dodkin]

Thanks Pete

 

[Beth Carter]

around here we call it swamp gas. love the light and mood.

 

[Chris Dodkin]

I sometimes get a bit of that Beth - couple of Tums usually sorts it though!

 

[Beth Carter]

wow, your internal swamp gas makes fog? impressive!

 

[Lesley Jones]

It's very beautiful indeed. I love the soft range of colours

 

[Brian Moore]

Didn't know you was a cycling/surfer, Chris. How do you keep the camera dry? (It looks an awfy wee bike by the way,...perhaps your legs are just wee stubs?)

Nice shot though. Love the mist/swamp gas. Up here we call that a Catalina Eddy.

 

[Pete Askew]

Catalina Eddy! I thought he ran a shop selling the warmest beer in town!

 

[Chris Dodkin]

I am lost for words!

 

[Pete Askew]

Is that due to the very idea of the warmest beer in town or have you taken a sip of Brian's new super-cooled beverage?! At -269°C it does tend to chap the lips somewhat!

 

[Beth Carter]

no, the chapped lips are from the swamp gas.

 

[Chris Dodkin]

So true!

 

[Paul Lange]

Fabulous image Chris but not what I was expecting. For a moment there I thought Misty Morning was your porn star name back in the day when you were young, stupid and needed the cash.

 

[Pete Askew]

You've seen that film too?! Too many lonely evenings in hotel rooms away from home!

 

[Paul Lange]

You know what I think it's getting that way. There is only so many cups of tea you can sip on a street side cafe.

 

[Chris Dodkin]

I was young and foolish, and can't remember any of it apparently!
