peace & joy

The very reason why we had to wait more than 1 hour for the cranes *- sister sun decided to come out of her cloudy flat, where she hid the whole day. - But - what an appearance she had!
[* The cranes start leaving their feeding grounds not until dawn.]

@Thea: You see the sun above a small island called Bülten - just reed and birds there.... so beautiful in this light, thank you!

Kiwisa from North Shore, New Zealand

The sun was certainly worth waiting for. Nice diagonal divide over the scene.

Loner from Wörgl, Austria

Schööööööööööön ! Da hast du ja mit dem Wetter an der Ostsee mehr Glück als ich gehabt - oder hast du gleich mehrere schöne Fotos gemacht, wenn die Sonne sich sehen lassen hat ? LG Sonja !

@Loner: "mehrere Fotos" wäre stark untertrieben ;D Ich laß mich ja nicht vom wetter beeindrucken (dann eben iso200) wenn ich erstmal dabei bin ;) aber Glück mit dem Wetter hatten wir auf jeden Fall - einige Tage mit Sonne - dann wie oben - Tag grau und abends rosarotblau - dafür hattest du bestimmt die besseren Linsen ;)) Ganz herrliche Grüße nach Österreich - wo ich nebenbei bemerkt auch mal wieder hinmöchte - alle Kindheitssommer in Tirol verbracht - werde demnächst mal die alten Dias & Bilder von Vaddern einscannen.

Earnest from Oklahoma, United States

What a peaceful morning you've captured... and the early morning sun too! Very pretty!

@Earnest: Au contraire Earnest - a sunsetting as I never saw my entire life that evening - I think I did more picture of this spectacel than of the birds I was waiting for ;) Thank you!

Stefan from Thiersee, Austria

Beautiful!

@Stefan: yeah, isn´t it =) Thank you!

John from Geneva, United States

Stunning - you did an amazing job of getting both the low light (right side) and the bright sun (left side). The perspective of the shoreline and the muted colors in the water just click it all together. Beautiful photograph.

@John: Thank you so much John ;)
The "secret" is to use spot metering, here I metered the reed on the right from the sun, where it was very bright, to capture more than just shadows.

jim from sebastopol, United States
