Clouds at Dawn

The often photographed Seahorse and I watch a late autumn sky in Ganges Harbour.

The 16 second exposure, aided by a tripod and an absence of boat wake, helps portray the tranquility of this scene.

Once we get past the current monsoon-like weather, there may be more opportunities like this. In mid-to late December the sun rises straight out the harbour and, combined with humidity and the (usually) cold weather, a golden ice fog can form over the ocean’s surface.

    Hey, I just wanted to reach out and thank you for doing this photo-blog everyday. I’ve been following you for years. A lot of other daily photo blogs have gone under recently and I realize now I can’t take them for granted. So for what it’s worth, yours is one of the best — probably THE best — that I’ve ever found. You create beauty and art everyday, and it does not go unnoticed. So — thank you so much! I wish you all the best.

    Rich

      Well, thanks Richard, your comment is most appreciated—and worth a lot coming from you. I have to admit that it gets a bit much at times and sometimes eats into my work time. But, on the other hand, it’s a creative outlet. Something I’d recommend to everyone. Warning though, within a few months of shooting every day, you will find yourself looking at the world in a whole new way.
