Some days when I take the camera out the light falls just right for capturing the finer details on close-ups of plants. Other times the brush needs to be broader …

Beside Breydon Bridge, looking across the confluence of Yare and Bure to the town of Great Yarmouth beyond: Photo taken 20th July 2018
The sun had been up for about four hours when I took the photo, looking obliquely across the water with the sun still relatively low to the east—which produced just the right effect for this week’s #2018picoftheweek: Silhouettes.
Nice silhouettes! I like that you managed to get silhouettes in both the foreground and the background. 🙂

Timed it just right. It was a day for being in the right place at the right time. Also photographed the ship that day

I thank you. Really, I should pass that on to my daughter. She was looking through the photos while I was musing on which photo to fill which title this week and she said, That one! So that one it was.

Your daughter made a great choice – and you made a great shot! I love how everything in the foreground and background is black and somewhat vague, providing a frame for the blue water and the sun sparkling there.

I tried the photo as a B&W, but that blue, being the only colour, works better. And let’s face it, it’s not often that stretch of water looks blue (more often greeny-brown and dense with suspended silt).

The color really works here, I think you made the right decision.

Yep, me too. I also tried a kind of sepia colour. But that wood is already brown (very dark, wet brown), and the mud is dark sludgy brown. It wasn’t … flattering. No, the blue works fine.

I thank you. Sometimes Nature just hankers for a photo and anyone with a camera just has to click. 🙂
