Miss Hana, a photo from Maine, Northeast

Photographer's Note

This Rockland, Maine lobster boat goes by the handle of Miss Hana. Lobstermen often name their craft after their mother, sweetheart, first born daughter or a combination of the afore said.
This was on a lovely Sept. evening when the skies and waters are the clearest due to the air temp and water temps being about even.

Hello Tom,

Your lower point of view from canoe is just splendid and an enviable one as you know. I liked amazing blue and white colors on boats and also as reflections too. The water drops on your canoe and naturally tilted horizon just wonderful. Congratulations.

Friendly Regards,

Ertugrul

Hello Tom,

The angle is excellent in this composition. Being so low make it feel as almost we can touch the water. Nice sharp image with good colours and an interesting subject. Nice overall work Tom :-)

Hi Tom

The tilted horizon works well here, & conveys the rocking motion of the fg kayak (the prow of which, adds good linear perspective.) Excellent sharpness, with wonderful color & light contrasts. Tfs!

Hi Tom,

Excellent POV in this shot, The lighting is prefect and lovely blue sky, a wonderful reflection on the water and nice clarity and color contrast. Great sharpness and nice motion captured in this shot Tom.

Best regards

Hi Tom,

Again a shot from you boat, you have a nice serie from this pov which brings us always a low pov with the tip in front. Seems there is a small tilt, but not really disturbing, it's how the boats are placed behind each other in line what is the strong key here, i like such an effect.

Have a nice day,

Henk

Hello Tom;
Fine composition; I especially like the lighting and the way the boats line up diagonally across the frame. Some very nice reflections with good colours and sharpness.

Royaldevon (85678) 2009-05-14 2:42

Hello Tom,

Your low pov really puts us in touch with the water, and the tilted horizon gives the impression of sharing the boat with you!
I like the upward, sharply-focussed view of the boats, with their light reflecting hulls.
Good sense of perspective.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hi Tom
de toute beauté ce cliché ou le bleu de l'eau se marie à merveille avec le ciel et en prime le Miss Hana qui est prêt à partir pour la pêche aux homards

Hello Tom,

Miss Hana care for lovely reflection, also the small waves are attractive.
I agree with previous the horizon tilt little bit without disturb
Nice composition and soft of colours. TFS.

Best regards,
John.

Tom,
Another great shot taken from your Canoe, I would be afraid to take my camera in one of those. With my luck as soon as I got the camera out I would hit a log and flip.
Your composition is great showing the boats from an angle that gives the scene depth and direction. The lighting and colors are fine with excellent sharpness and detail. The boats stand out nicely against the deep blue sky.
TFS,
Asa

Thanks

Hello Tom,

A excellent angle of view with this bota in the FG. The alignment of another botas give a great prospect effect. Beautiful deformed reflections. Very nice blue color too.
Best regards,

Hello Tom,
The slope of the capture gives a great feeling of movement. Unique composition with great light and wonderful texture of the water and reflections.

Charo

phwall (6787) 2009-05-14 15:07

Hi Tom,
I love the lines of these lobster boats, the sheer running up to the high bow gives these boats their own distinctive look. I'll bet they are terrific sea boats, especially in a short choppy sea.
Nice perspective, I see you aren't letting up on the reminding me about the kayak project.
Best wishes
Peter

Good low POV Tom. The horizon is not straight but it implies a rocking motion in the kayak.

Magnifica foto no teu kayak , muito bonitos os reflexos dos barcos em tons de branco , gostei muito dos tons de azul , bonitos detalhes, penso que podias ter alinhado o horizonte , parabéns!!
Um abraço Gonçalo

Hi Tom, The low POV works beautifully as the eye leads over the canoe & on towards the Miss Hana, I love the slight ripple of the water & the way it has broken up the reflections, very well composed & a wonderful blue surround, kind regards Wilson.

Kielia (24077) 2009-05-17 10:13

Hi Tom,
as already mentioned by Greg, one can really feel the motion! Although the image conveys the impression of calmness and serenity of the evening, you have succeeded in adding a nice touch of dynamic. A very pleasant composition despite the small tilt of the horizon. TFS!
Warm regards
Harriet

Hi Tom,
I have been away for a while and I have missed seeing your canoe images. A real sense of being on the water and the low angle has given a 3D impression of the boats. Take care my friend!
Regards, David

Hi Tom
Very nice and deep foreground and good perspective pointing on the white boat.
I hope to go this year in Brittany to eat some lobsters.
