Taking Full Advantage of an Opportunity!
Indian River from Jensen Beach, Florida
Nicole had to be up and prepared early to capture this magnificent east coast Florida scene which occurred at 6:17 am. Using her Canon 50D mounted on a tripod, she very carefully framed all the available elements for maximum impact. The lines of the pier and side railings don’t just lead you into the scene but seem to propel you toward the Hutchison Island shore line opposite and the low hanging clouds. The illuminated bridge and its reflection is balanced by the sunlit clouds and their reflections on the right. But such analysis isn’t really necessary to fully enjoy the scene and the moment captured.
The focal length of the lens was a wide 17mm and the shutter speed a slow .4 second wih an aperture setting of f/2.8.
nice, very relaxing and inviting. well composed and a cool shot
Very striking!
Nicole is also a winner this week on Ray’s Weather site for the Blue Ridge Parkway Calendar 2012. Her shot of The Linville River Bridge is the choice for December.
