Victoria Beach Zen Moments

2 weeks ago I joined up with a fellow photographer to return to one of my favourite places to shoot ( https://photography-on-the.net …/showthread.php​?t=1164038 [last 2 photos] ).

On Wednesday (2 weeks later) we revisited this shore. This time shooting in an area I had never even explored before. With ZERO clouds and no wind our hopes of more long exposure experiments were kibosh'd. In the wake of that I saw other possibilities. Glass like water and clear skies actually made for some great photo opportunities. Once again, I came home with a few keepers.

All single exposures with a 3 stop GND filte and very little PP except the last which is a 3 exposure blend.

2 and 5 need a very slight rotation counter-clockwise but otherwise, five frames of sublime perfection!

The crystal ball is an excellent touch!

Thank you Jay! I fixed number 5's level. 2 is actually level. It's hard to see but there is still ice on the lake far in the distance and is level! Can't believe I missed it on #5. That is what happens when you process while drinking! LOL

Scott, these are stunning photographs.

All, gallery worthy. Awesome captures.

Man, Don't ya just hate that!

Hard to pick a favorite here! Nice work on all of these, and your frame really works!

Nice extra dimensions in #2.

All expertly and sensitively done!

Superb shots as usual, Scott; what a great province is Manitoba.

Thank you Al. It's getting harder and harder to find new and interesting spots for me to shoot with out going full on hiking/camping in the wilderness. Which I would love to do one day!

Have you ever been to Churchill? I was there in '68 as a teenager, but would love to go back some year to shoot birds. It's somewhat a bleak place when one first arrives, but there are lots of good shots to be had.

those pictures are amazing!! i would prefer them without the black frame though. it kind of distracts from the actual image plus a lot of people use them to make ****ty pictures look better. your pictures cleary don't need that

As per usual, great shots!!

what a stunning set

Fantastic collection of gorgeous colors...well done

absolutely stunning
