Ghostly shapes easing out of the dawn mist.

This Sparrow landed a few feet from me so could not resist a snapshot

Taken on very early morning walk along Gosport esplanade.

Took quite a few shots of this as it progressed

This is one of the old lightships once so common around our shores. Now converted to a static Resturant moored in Haslar Marina, Gosport. just inside

This was one of the highlights of my visit to Catalina Island 25 miles off the coast os California south of Los Angeles.

Amelie Rose. A Real Wooden Boat, Fabulous.

Behind The Lens

Location

This foto was taken at dawn on my usual daily walk. The view is looking south east out of Portsmouth harbour, UK. From the Gosport side.

Time

I love these sort of atmospheroic dawn foto's and if you look through my other fotos you will see more similar, will add more soon.

Lighting

Lighting at this time of day is really pure luck at catching it at the right time. I rarely fotoshop my fotos prefer to let a picture speak for irself. For me fotoshopping a picture is manufacturing something its not really what you saw at that time. I do sometimes adjust focus as clarifies what your trying to get across in a picture.

Equipment

This probably wont suprise some people but could well others. I shot this with my phone a samsung 7 edge now 2 years old so for some old technology, however if you have something that takes good fotos why not use it after all its not always about the equipment but you and what you see.

Inspiration

The light and the solitude of a single fishing boat going out to catch whatever he was fishing for that day

Editing

No post processing was used on this foto.First of all my phone

In my camera bag

First of all is my phone a samsung 7 edge. Then the good stuff my Nikon 5300 with a Nikon 55-300 DX VR lens. I also use a 18-55 DX-VR lens.

Feedback

Be in the right place at the right time and always be ready to shoot that picture of pictures cos you never know when its going to happen, 5 seconds later it could be gone, but never be afraid to take a pic. if its no good you can always delete it. But then when you look back 5 or 10 years later you can suprisecyourself with that picture cos it has something you didnt see at the time
