Fishing For Color, a photo from Quebec, Central

Photographer's Note

Caught these two guys fishing on Lake Cabot in Quebec. I was out trying to capture the sunset when they slowly drifted into my path.

Dear I am repeatedly saying to you to use aperture priority mode for capturing landscapes means you give aperture f/8 or more and camera will adjust shutter speed for perfect combination. I think you are capturing at auto mode then what is the use of SLR Nikon D50? You can do so with even simple mobile phone cam. Now compare your this picture with your earlier post ‘Rays on Lake Cabot’ which was taken at f/10 which one is in detail and showing great depth of field?

Oh, so nice. I wish I could escape from work right now and join these gentlemen. Nice capture and you convey a beautiful peaceful mood. I think the exposure is perfect, the colors of the lake are nice and warm yet there is plenty of light to see details in the fishermen.

Hi Harjit

Nice picture. A backlight on sunset is always a good idea. The colours are great. Too bad you framed it like this. In my humble opinion, the boat is too much in the middle of the composition. You could have used it as a nice foreground with the mountains in the background, without losing the colours of sunset.

Sorry if I'm a bit harsh on this one. I like this pic anyway ;o)

Thanks for sharing

Now this is a good example Harjit, of what it means, something to go with your sunset. Sometimes, you have to wait for things to get better or find a day, which has something to go with the sunset. One fine thing about photography Harjit, not only it teaches you to see the fine things around you, but it prompts you to learn about the subjects you are seeing, which will make your photography, better.
