We've had some great shooting conditions here the past 8 days. I haven't even looked at most of what I have taken. These are some shots I haven't put on my blog.

!. Long Pond - I will ultimately clone out the tower on the left. I just didn't have time to do the fine tuning.

That first one is just glorious, I'd have that on my wall if it was mine. Although I'd take or crop out that radio tower, but that's pretty minor.

Lucky you, Sharon! Really like #1 and the wave in #3. Its a nice feeling to know you have lots to go back to!
cheers Andrew

Cool set, Sharon. I like the first two the best. In no. 1, the clouds are very dramatic, and I love how it is composed. #2 has nice warm light, and I like the tiny birds in comparison to the wave.

wonderful set Sharon, the colors in 1 and 2 are fabulous....love to see your images.

Awesome set here, man I wish I was there in #1 with a chair to sit at the end of the dock and just enjoy the beautiful scenery you have captured. Really like the use of the faster shutter speeds to freeze the wave action very cool and the B&W conversion is spot on, beautiful work here.

That first one has some amazing energy to it for my tastes. Definitely worth some tender loving care to clone out the tower. The second shot really catches my eye as well - I like the nice sun angle and light along with the shutter speed for this one. A very pleasing combination with the group of birds.

The last two are pretty nice as well but the first ones are the best.

Thanks for sharing.

Hey Sharon,


These are really cool. Great work in capturing these scenes. I have to say #4 is simply a masterpiece! A fantastic composition and an even better if that is possible in B&W. I hope no one asks to see that one in color, because it truly shines as a B&W!

Jim

Hey Sharon, the first is a very nice capture, the rest aren't too shabby either.

Jim

Great stuff Sharon. I really like #1 and when the tower is cloned out it will be even better. #2 is a beauty too. I love the detail you have captured.
David

A great series with, as the consensus seems, the first as the standout.

Took a buzz by your site also.....there is some GREAT stuff there. Anyone who hasn't visited....should. You do Nantucket proud!

It seems you really had perfect shooting conditions, Sharon. Not only the conditions but also your intuition and talent as a photographer is proved here. Wonderful set, all of them are beautiful. My wife would be lucky with the birds
Karl

I'm with Jim, #4 is outstanding and I enjoy #3 a lot as well.

Great set Sharon. Would love to see more!

Best,

Jose

Hello Sharon, fine work with the 'change of season' conditions. Love the dynamic clouds

hugh

Sharon

these are fabuous, particularly the first two. The birds really give something to the second shot.

Rob

Hi Sharon,

A very fine series, and #1 is my favorite.

Bob

Great series Sharon. That first one is really awesome and your wave shots are pretty nice as well.

that 1st pic is pretty stunning to say the least, well done

Wonderful set, Sharon. Great conditions indeed, and then you knew what to do with them!
Love 'em all but that 1st is magnificent (especially when the tower is gone)!!

Barry

The 1st pic is stunning, very well done!!

You have captured some great light in the #1, but the left side of the image doesn't work well for me. The tower is a real bummer and could have been avoided by a step or 2 right, or even by rotating the camera a degree or 2. I don't think those minor changes would effect the composition much.

Thanks for all the very kind comments.

Myweh, you are right about the tower. My final version won't have a tower in it. I looked back at my files and I do have some composed without the tower that wouldn't require as much cloning, although the guy wires will show in all of them. I'd have to clone them out. I haven't had the time to really give these the proper treatment. As I looked at this folder again, I found quite a few images I had not seen.

Fo, I appreciate your looking at my site. I'm working to update it as I need to rotate in some new images and I'm changing it a bit.

One and 3 are my picks Sharon.

#1 is very special. A picture worth printing.
