Cold Winter Morning

[dstreetphoto]

This is part of a series documenting Pembroke Power Station and Refinery captured from the shoreline of the Pembroke River. I have been working on this project for a good few years now and during that time I have captured many images at sunrise, sunset and during the day. I captured this photo on a very cold winter morning just after sunrise. It was so cold the surrounding landscape was covered in frost and I could barely feel my fingers. Handling metal filters in these conditions is no fun! But the results are worth it.

Full marks for exposure and tonal range. Otherwise it's a sky/water reflection bisected by an almost-featureless horizon line. Since I'm unfamiliar with the locale, it's tough to see a strong landscape shot here.

Hi cgw, thanks for your overwhelmingly positive and constructive comment. So I know how to take better landscape photos in the future, what would you consider makes a "strong" landscape shot?

Take a look sometime at Michael Kenna's Hokkaido landscapes.

I like this just for its silvery blue tones! They make the picture.

Thank you. That's how cold it was, everything had a blue/silvery cast to it, even the light.

I like it, silver and blue work well together...
