You Shall Not Pass

Rhana Griffin

You Shall Not Pass

When the conditions are right where I live we experience the wonderful phenomena of sea fog. The first one I experienced was when I was “in between” cameras. I was devastated! I have been hoping ever since that we would get another one…

I peered out the window today while I was on the phone and saw that today was the day! I had to make my apologies to my friend on the phone – a girl has to get her priorities right – and happily spent the next two hours snapping, with my young boys as my photography assistants.

The title of this piece is inspired by one of my favourite scenes in Lord of the Rings. Gandalf the mighty wizard gives his life to ensure the freedom of his friends… and so my friend today gave to me the same gift of freedom as I hastily hung up the phone to explore my sea fog.

  • billyboy

    billyboy

    Rhana, this is already an awesome image from the point of view of the mood and mystique youve captured in the fog, the colors, the lighting and the depth of focus. But the fact that you discovered this amazing composition is what gets me. No rules especially, just that the barbed wire, the post, it’s angle and the vanishing point behind it lined with the trees and fence work together to make this so incredibly compelling. This is a masterpiece even in its ability to ask me why it’s a masterpiece. I’ll be thinking of this all night!

    You and colours go together like Laurel & Hardy – a match made in heaven.

    I can’t even begin to describe how much I love that green and those trees on the left are amazing.

    Coupled with the fence posts on the right leading you down – it’s a massive 10 point zero on the WOW-ometer from me!

    Thanks so much again everyone. What amazes me is that I have driven past this spot a couple of hundred times before, and at least 30 times since and it just looks plain boring without the fog. I am so blessed to have been at the right place, at the right time to be able to bring this image to you all.

    This is so beautiful The single post in the middle of the avenue between the tress and the fence draws my eye down down the avenue. The fog adds a very dreamy mood to it. I’d like to sit, wrapped in a (water-proof blanket), leaning up against a tree, on that lush grass and day-dream for hours. Superb photo.

    Thanks Mark! And thanyou so much to everyone who has shown their support for this image with your wonderful comments. You wont believe this but as I write my boys are watching Lord of The Rings and it is about 5 minutes away from the part where Gandalf gives his life to save his friends… kind of fitting methinks ;)

    That’s a powerful scene from Lord of the Rings, I too greatly enjoy it! I really like your work Rhana, it’s beautiful, and this picture is quite powerful. It really just strikes you, with the post and the barbed wire being so close in the foreground, yet the path still beyond.

    I really do not understand why I like this so much to favourite it, but it has something a bit special about it for me – perhaps it reminds me of somewhere, maybe it is just the whole overshadowed foggy simplicity of it, but it is a beautiful image – well captured Rhana, and worth delaying a friend a little to capture – I would certainly forgive you.

    Rhana, This is the Most beautiful piece of work that I have seen here on RB. The reason why I love this is that the Light and color is excellent. The Wooden post and barbed wire in the forefront, leads the viewer to follow behind it and see the wonderful misty scene behind. The trees on the left are beautiful, and the detail of the bark is excellent. This reall is a stunning shot. Rhana, I have added you to my watchlist and this is got to be my Favorite work of art. Thank you for sharing all your beauty with me. Awesome!. http://www.philadelphia33.org/
