| Four Palmetto Trees, Charleston Harbor, Mt. Pleasant, SC © Doug Hickok This is a view through four Palmetto palms toward Charleston Harbor on a hazy summer morning. I liked the palm trunks in shadow when I first arrived on the scene. I next used a 300 mm telephoto lens to compress space, giving the image a more graphic appearance. The photo was made on Velvia RVP color slide film a few years ago, back in my pre-digital days. You can see a little grain from the 100 ASA film speed, quite different from the smooth look of the 100 ISO digital speed. Also, I thought I would continue the blue/green color theme from yesterday's post. Hope I didn't make you doze off with all the technical talk. Tomorrow will be a mixed bag day, with several promised images included. Hope you have a great weekend. Quick take: May I leave you with an absolute ooh aah image to start your weekend? How about this stunner from Frans Lanting! |

'm still wide awake, Doug, and I just got up less than an hour ago. :D I love palm trees! And that photo by Frans Lanting is something else. I like that link.
ReplyDeleteI like palm trees, they mean summer, hot and holiday for me :)
ReplyDeleteNice shot, beautiful colors.
Have a nice weekend!
I love how you've composed this one Doug. Very creative perspective.
ReplyDeleteIt could be a sugestive photo too: looking at palms at liberty, behind bars:)
ReplyDeleteGreat link!
Mean summer, I agree, mean surf, mean r,n,r, mean Hawai 5.0.
ReplyDeleteGreat shot, good weekend for you too.
Greetings.
very creative framing
ReplyDeleteI love the light tones, Nice frame.
ReplyDeletewhat, in the thumbnail, appeared quite two dimensional with the strong four vertical lines, reveals, on closer examination, depth and layers. Very nice, Doug.
ReplyDeleteNice composition, great colors!
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous scene. Love how you've framed the ocean thru the trees.
ReplyDeleteI like the dual nature of the tree trunks in this eye-catching shot. Very well done.
ReplyDeleteThat pic by Frans Lanting is seriously special. Look at his one http://louis.shutterchance.com/photoblog/Deadvlei_floor_/ not for comparison, just to say I was there as well :-)
ReplyDeleteYour pic is a good one as well - the 300mm choice helped a lot.
Nice framing in this one.
ReplyDeleteYour image incorporated perspective wonderfully. It has a great visual impact.
ReplyDeleteI'm still battling trying to leave comments on non pop-up comment windows, I hope this works. This is a perfect Friday photo. Yesterday's shot I would classify as exhibition class!
ReplyDeletenice composition, quite like the warmth of the light.
ReplyDeletefitting for the Palm Tree state. it's quite nostalgic for me; we had palm trees in our front yard when I was growing up in Florida
ReplyDeleteCome on, you call that a hazy summer?!
ReplyDeleteIt's such a lovely day.
Have you got one in landscape format?
If so, I'd like to see it.
I normally take two shots (one in portrait; the other one in landscape) for tree photos. Sometimes they look good in portrait, but I find them more attractive in landscape most of the time.
Lanting's desert shot is so amazing!
I actually saw that picture few days ago in a bookshop. :)
They are huge and so beautiful.This picture is perfect with wonderful lights!

Really cool composition Doug and rich color--fascinating too are the differences you mention between film and digital. Nice example.
