‘In the Background: The places that we pass through day after day, or even once in a lifetime, leave in their small way, echoes and traces of themselves upon us. But so often when taking self portraits or pictures of friends, the places themselves become a soft blurred mush of indistinct semi-nothingness, the limelight stolen by our smiling faces. In today’s challenge, let’s turn the tables. Take a picture of yourself or someone else as a shadow, a reflection, or a lesser part of a scene, making the background, or the foreground the center of attention.’
The Solitary Boat at Sunset
May 24, 2013 : Struer
You captured such an amazing moment. I love how the sky is on fire and it’s so vivd with the orange and red. I love it :)
Thank you! :) I actually almost missed it. I was chatting with a friend when she asked me to look out the window to see the beautiful sky. I immediately hurried to drive to the sea and so glad I made it just in time to capture such beauty. :)
Sometimes the most beautiful moments are when we least expect it.
How the sea and sky had changed colors in this shot was amazing. Nice shot.
Thank you for appreciating! And the colors was indeed stunning, At some angles, the sea looks purple and at some a sea of fire. :)
Sunsets make one of the best backgrounds. Nice!.
I agree!
Thanks, Rosanna :)
Very pretty.
Thanks a lot! :)
Lovely photo. It is interesting how weather is often an important aspect in the making of scenery. Turner was right.
Indeed! Being in the right place and at the right time with a camera on hands make for he best photos! :)
Very well captured… Love the sunset… :)
Thanks! It’s my favorite time of the day! :)
