early morning on the beach by northy

early morning on the beach

there's something i like about this, colour included... i tried converting to black and white, and i tried playing with desaturating and various filters in colour efex - but in the end, decided i liked it "as is"... so there ya go...

this is from yesterday when i did the dock shot... i'm not taking many pictures just now as i am still frantically trying to get thru the 2000 or so i took while away in the US... i really want to be done with them before going back to work next Monday :)


I really like the primary color palate here too.

Love the stillness of the water. I was so done with photos for awhile after NYC and the 800 or so I took there, so I getcha!
July 18th, 2013  
Seems so peaceful. I like the colours too, especially the subdued red of the boats.
July 18th, 2013  
Nicely left alone :) Looks great as is!
July 18th, 2013  
I agree - best left alone! FAV!
July 18th, 2013

Beautiful light and colours.
July 18th, 2013  
very pretty and peaceful!
July 18th, 2013  
Wonderful light and great colors on the boats.
July 18th, 2013  
This is just perfect as it is. I do love a good boat shot! That creamy colour inside the boats just sets everything off perfectly. Fav What exactly is colour efex?
July 18th, 2013  
@suesmith tx Sue... colour efex is a plug in from google (like nik silver efex)... it has a bunch of filters you can add to your photos and play with to get different effects... not sure how best to explain it... i've used it mostly to give dreamy effects to some of my mad minute word shots...

a couple extreme examples below, but you can use it more subtly of course...

Great decision. This is just beautiful; it is do serene.
July 18th, 2013  
This is gloriously restful and the colors/tones are beautiful!
July 19th, 2013  
Nice pops of color.
July 19th, 2013  
Haha - think you're becoming a colour convert because of your travels! A 'new' Northy maybe? This has to be cottage country, right?;)
July 19th, 2013  
@russianblue yep - we're up in the muskokas... we have a fractional here (kinda like a timeshare)...
July 19th, 2013  
This is just perfect,especially the color...
July 19th, 2013  
Gorgeous shot, I love the colours.
July 19th, 2013  
Fav. Fab.

Your style is stretching

Sue
Perfect!
July 19th, 2013  
Wonderful shot, something definitely draws you in, feels quite atmospheric
July 19th, 2013  
T'riffic. I agree with your decision. Maybe the red could be either deeper or brighter, but if that's the way it really was or the way you remember it, then it's just perfect.
July 19th, 2013  
Love the way the line of boats leads the eye, by the way. Quite surprising, since they're distinct objects, not really lines, and there are so few of them. Yeah. Fav, I think!

Awesome shot Northy, love the colours
July 19th, 2013  
I can't picture this in b&w ... it's the colour repetition that is so appealing
July 19th, 2013  
You were right. I don't think you can improve on this. Fav.
July 19th, 2013  
Love that you didn't need to do anything with this, it's fab.
July 20th, 2013  
Beautiful shot....I love how calm the water is.
July 20th, 2013

July 21st, 2013

July 22nd, 2013
