Bomb away. Fabulous stuff. Great light too.

 

[Keith Hollister]

Thanks, Pete. I think I may be getting the hang of this landscape stuff - wide angle lens, f/8, look for cool light, interesting skies and bang away. Throw in a little CEFP and bob's your uncle, as the Brits say

 

[Pete Askew]

Indeed! Or, 'Fanny's your uncle's live-in lover' as one of my friends says!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Stunning. Love the curve of the contrail, echoed in the grasses. Beautiful.

 

[Keith Hollister]

Thanks, Rob. I thought that was a special little bit of ying/yang there with the contrail and grass.

 

[Lesley Jones]

It is indeed. Wonderful palette of colours too

 

[Keith Hollister]

Thanks, Lesley. And you'll be happy to know my wife called me today (I'm up in Hilton Head visiting my folks without her) and informed me have a new kitten she fell in love with. She was at an event with GRRMF and a cat rescue was also there and the foster said she was good with dogs, so I have a new daughter when I get home next week

Nice shot Keith. Interesting fence layout. I can't say I've seen one just like that before.

 

[Paul Lange]

Good stuff. I would have probably walked passed this writing it off as not interesting enough to photograph. Wouldn't I have been wrong.

LOL - we all pass up things due to either being in a hurry or just blind to a particular opportunity. I think we would all like to pass up fewer great photographs.

In my case, the combination of the grass and weathered erosion fence was the trigger - I thought it was a great bit of foreground, so I walked around looking for the rest of the photograph. I was on the beach because of the sky to begin with, so putting the composition together was a fairly short putt.

 

[Beth Anthony]

beautiful. i hope you're enjoying your trip.

 

[Chris Dodkin]

Wow, what a sky!

As Lesley mentioned, the color palette is really nice - very marine like, if that makes sense?

 

[Keith Hollister]

Thanks all.

Beth - the visit with my folks has been fine and managed to get a few decent shots while I was here. Thanks for asking.
