Yachts on the Sea

Another view of the yacht race held outside Oamaru harbour as part of the Regatta and celebrations of the Terra Nova arriving in Oamaru in February 1913 from the Antarctic. This was before the sea fog came in.

Nice light to make those yachts pop out

[Mickey Anderson]

Love the way they seem to float in the sky as well as on the water ,and your coloring is superb!!!

[Kerri]

Cool shot

[Simply Amanda]

Love the high keyness of this shot. Just wonderful, Maggiemae!

[Veronica McDonnell]

Beautifully processed Maggie, FAV for me.

[Vee]

Love the repeating shapes of the sails!

[cheryl]

Great processing

[Yvonne]

Oh, so very beautiful, Maggiemae. Love it. Fav.

[Sharon Lee]

I like the over exposure

[Mary Downing Hahn]

I love the light -- it makes the boats seem like mirages, very delicate and insubstantial. Nice processing.

[Maggiemae]

@yonnie Thanks Yvonne - glad you like it! Did you ever see Beachradish's photos - they were so beautifull! She's back on 365!

[Dawn Reilly]

Love this high key shot!

[Yvonne]

@maggiemae I'll have to look for her. Thanks.

[Terry]

How cool is this, did you go out and ask them to line up like this for the shot?

[Lyn]

Maggiemae, this is so reminiscent of @still_beachradish and her luminescent work. . .if I were you, I'd be incredibly proud of this shot!! +f

[Maggiemae]

@sarasdadandmom I was just lucky I could get so many of them in the shot and most going one way which is better. They were all over the place!

[Maggiemae]

@lyno Thank you Lyn - I'm always amazed when a shot comes up like this!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

The over exposure adds a cheery brightness to the shot. Nicely a la Beachradish!

[Tony]

Reducing the saturation of the background has certainly highlighted the main feature. Like the result.

[Maggiemae]

@tonydebont I didn't change the saturation but increased the exposure and contrast, Tony. Glad you like it!

[Cathy]

I love this ... especially the little shot of colour in the sail. Nice contrast

[Laura Thornton]

Beautiful. One of the things I will miss not living at the Cape.

[Deb]

Congrats on PP!

[Jennifer]

Great shot! Love the high key and the line.

[Dianne]

Beautiful

[beachradish]

Wonderful light and brightness to this ... Feels like being out on the water on a sunny day! The bright blue adds something special and unique.

[Maggiemae]

@still_beachradish Playiing around with exposures, Beachradish and it was a sunny and relatively calm day - the boats were hardly moviing!

[Maggiemae]

@deburahiru Really! Didnt see it there Deb! Nice that people like my picture!

[Pat Knowles]

At last I've got to yours Maggie! scrolled down for ages to get to these ones that come through during our night! Love your row of yachts floating in the sky, beautiful light & shimmer! A fave!

[Maggiemae]

@happypat Thankyou Pat for doing that scrolling - I had to put it into the date area that it was taken. Super you like it!
