“Sunset At Manor Park”

As photographers, I think we are often too hard on ourselves, but this is also what drives us to get better. There are very few photographs of mine that I truly like. This is one of them. For now. I will probably revisit it next year and find a whole lot of faults to it. Indeed, nothing is ever perfect.

The right ingredients were there for me to get out and get it: a park I like, fresh snow and a nice sunset. The clouds really helped enhance the colors, striking a good balance. I used my graduated neutral density filters for this shot in order to bring back the snow in the foreground.

    That is absolutely AMAZING! The colors are amzing, I love the pink water and bare trees. Really amazing.

    Thanks Dijea! It’s so satisfying to press the shutter release, sit back and realize that yes, you got it. Being acknowledged by your peers for it is the cherry on the cake :-)

    Merci Aurélien. Ça aide de se trouver au bon endroit au bon moment. Pas un coucher de soleil ne se ressemble, celui-là était particulièrement magnifique.

    Great time of day for shooting, you really picked up the magentas & pinks. Like the backlighting. Great capture!

    Thanks Ben! It’s a great place to start with… I wish it was my backyard, or at least at a walking distance :-)
