Kachemak Bay Blur

[denise ippolito]

1/13 sec. at f/10, ISO 400, AWB, Handheld.
As we were leaving the bay I took several blurs from the side of the moving boat. I liked the way the mountains with the snow looked to be swirling into the sky. The cool blue tones reminded me of the day.

Nicely done, Denise. Great blur. I like the blue tones. The successively lighter tones in the more distant features make the effect even better. Something about that has always been visually exciting to me.

It probably wasn't until I read what you said about the snow on the mountains that I realized it wasn't part of the clouds. The way that looks adds a dynamic element to an otherwise serene image.

Hi Denise, very nice blur! I love how the water turned out in this one and blue tones are great.

Really COOL blue blur, Denise. Brrrrr Very intriguing line/separation elements in the water and mountains. The swirl of clouds and snow adds to the energy.

[Bob Miller]

Hi Denise...Your blur turned out very nice! I am loving the swirl between the clouds and snowy mountains....This is a Unique image! Great work!

Denise, I love this one!! The view from the rooms were spectacular and I am glad you actually tried some blur on the water with those mountains in the backdrop. Wonderful light and colors.

Well seen and well done. I like what you and the rest of the gang liked best, the swirly stuff.

[Cheryl Slechta]

Denise, I love all the layers and shades of blue and especially the swirly stuff

Thank you all for the kind comments.

Denise, I lived in Alaska for 3 years as a I child...even had I not known where this was taken, it would have evoked memories of my time spent there. That damp cold..the sense of space...the blue tone that over ride so much of the landscape on a cloudy day...Alaska. Nicely done!
