I took this photo on a recent holiday to Lake Cootharaba, near Noosa. The shade of a nearby tree gives the photo a blueish tone. You can clearly see the ropes on the deck of the small fishing boat, and the pelican in the background looking out over the water for breakfast.
This photo taken with the Fujifilm S9600 digital camera.

David,
ReplyDeleteA very cool photo. That lake is pretty huge, and it is so close to the Ocean! Very interesting. Boy do I miss Australia...your photos really bring me back. I've been going through and scanning some of my shots from 1999. It is too bad I didn't have a digital camera back then. Your country is beautiful and I miss it dearly. Thanks for sharing all your photos. I'm always excited to see what you'll have next.

David, this is really nice bluish tone of the photo, the funny thing the pelican is hiding on the back but that was the first thing I noticed - must have been all the experience I got this year from chasing all the birds in the forest. Great shot, Anna :)
ReplyDeleteI like how you can just barely see past the shadows into a lighter area. The colors are very relaxing.
ReplyDeletea very soothing picture! lovely one!
ReplyDeleteHi Anna,
ReplyDeleteThis is an interesting capture, I also see the pelican as the first thing in the picture. Even though the boat is the biggest subject in the picture, it's not the most prominent. That's the sort of thing which amazes me about photography. You can create so many different shots out of a single scene. Of course, it might just be bird-watching experience in this shot as well. :)
Cheers,
David
Hi Tom,
ReplyDeleteIt is great to be able to get so close to the ocean and yet have a lake experience. And the best thing about it is that the lake is only a maximum of about 1.7 metres deep!
Digital cameras are great, aren't they? I've just got back from a holiday, and I took about 1,200 photos just in 4 days! Imagine how much that would cost in film! :D
Cheers,
David
Hi NYCIndividual,
ReplyDeleteI agree, this is a very special characteristic of this dawn picture. Amazingly, it didn't look that "blueish" in real life - it only shows up in the photo.
Cheers,
David
Nice photo. I like the way the two floating objects seem to be "talking" to each other. Could you change David Lind to Davidlind? It is starting to confuse Google and I am not a law firm. Thank God!
ReplyDeleteHi davidlind,
ReplyDeleteI never noticed that concept of the picture before, but now that you mention it they do look that way. I'll fix that name up straight away for you.
Cheers,
David
Nice photo! Funny about that bluish shade I took photos up there about six months ago and they had that same shade.The day we were up there the water was a little murky.Its a beautiful spot have some great trees with character up there.
