Lesser Yellow Legs ~ Cloudy Dawn ~ High Key

[Jim Fenton]

I managed one image before a thunderstorm came out of no place this morning.

It was foggy, low light and the sun had not yet come up from the dunes behind me.

I did have to do some levels work to cut through the fog and as it was kind of high key to begin with, I drove the water to white. Fortunately it was flat calm. It is a healthy crop as I could see the rain coming from south of me and didn't have time to get any closer.

Hi Jim

I find this photo has a very eye catching composition in this photo through its simplicity. The great quality of the reflections works very well with the high key effect which has removed any background distraction. Very good exposure control and good pp to cut through the fog.

Cheers
