    Spectacular Brian, I just love the white against white space, and the contrast of the gray rocks!

    Wow. What a diiference from the thumbnail. Glad I clicked! Very nice high key pix. (You might want to submit this to high key group.)

    Wow, that must have been precarious to get too with the ice on the rocks like that. Very nice capture.

  • Brian Carey replied

    Your right Daphne it was hard getting around because of the ice but I had a good pair of boots on! Funny thing though I was sitting on ice in my jeans (actually I was sitting on a plastic bag which I keep around the camera when it’s damp outside) and I heard some woman say “you look like you know what your doing is that a good place to get a shot” JHC I think I said something like “it all depends what you want to see”! Anyways it was no time to start up a conversation! But as long as your having fun it’s all worth it!

    Thank You everyone. Just the other day I was telling OldBirch how I avoid putting the sky in a image when it is heavily overcast and washed out. Also more often than not in this situation the lighting is flat. But after thinking about it I decided to try to try break this “rule” of mine and use this to my advantage! Actually this style of photography reminds me of the artwork of one of Newfoundlands most famous artist David Blackwood

    Can I say “Cool shot?” (Sorry – lol)
    All kidding aside, it really is a good shot, Brian. I don’t think you broke your rule here. Don’t thnk you could see the sky !

  • Brian Carey replied

    Your right Stan you couldn’t see the sky because it was so foggy and everything was covered in ice which gave me the sheen on the rock in the foreground! But I’ve gone from avoiding this type of sky to considering doing a series of hi key images. Cool stuff!

    Excellent work Brian… I ventured up there over the weekend to get some fog shots. It was quite eerie. My vehicle was the only one in the parking lot… talk about solitude and silence. The wind and waves were quite haunting in the thick fog!

    Cheers,
    Kevin

    My biggest compliment on this capture!!! You managed the light and cloudy sky perfectly.
    I agree with you, sometime we have to try new things and break the rules to see that it works!
    And it worked great here :O)) woow…what a scenery! The angle/perspective is fantastic as well…
    Awesome POV…goes strait to my fave :O))

    Love the perspective and it looks like you were in a risky position when taking the image Brian, love the textures on the rocks adding that contrast against the softer white tones, impressive work,

    wow I love the whitness and the angle- great one!

  • Jan Timmons

    Jan Timmons

    Love this vertical and almost minimal style. Very appealing. The prominence and angle of the rocks itself is beautiful, but comes together as a perfect unit with the faint lighthouse.
    Could I ask if you used a filter of any sort?

  • Brian Carey replied

    Thank You Jan. I didn’t use any filters here and the only adjustments I did were a slight brightness adjustment in Photoshop.It was overcast and the fog was thick that day which would explain the monochrome look of what is a actually a colour photo!

  • Ben Herman

    Love these subtle tones, very ghostlike.

  • Vicki Ferrari

    Amazing image! It would have been interesting to see a photo of you clamouring around on the ice though! It looks SO cold! Where I live, we don’t get this type of weather! (be that good or bad!) Obviously great for photography though, the way you have composed and captured this! Fave!

    stunning shot – I agree with Steve (above). Kind of “Ghostly” & definitely intriguing image. Beautiful!

    What a fantastic atmospheric image, certainly one to be proud of and just shows that you don’t need blue skies for good images.
