Distant Lights

Another photo from the Île de Ré on the French atlantic coast. This is a photo looking toward the bridge from yesterday's photo.
For purchasing high quality archival prints of any of these photos you can send me an email by clicking here or by going to MY NEW WEBSITE where prices are listed in the gallery sections under each individual photo.

Links to the websites of other photographers whose work I love and who have all helped me enormously over a long period of time. I find the work of all 3 to be inspirational.

hugo poon from hong kong, Hong Kong
Wow, absolutely remarkable! Composition is up to your high standard but the interaction between such amazingly vivid colours (not frequently seen from yours) have been wonderfully effective to arrest my mind and emotion...

@hugo poon: Thanks Hugo...it's such a pleasure to get my laptop back and finally be able to process these holiday photos with more confidence about colour, light levels and contrast!
MadScientist from Düsseldorf, Germany
Spectacular tones! Is that boat stranded by the tide?
26 Oct 2008 5:50pm
@MadScientist: I don't think so....it was in the same spot for a few days and then sailed away during high tide one day!
Momo from Montpellier, France
beautious as usual Ian...30 second exposure...that d40 and you are sure producing some outstanding work together...you are one of the people i think of when people talk about needing 'whatever' latest and greatest photographic equipment to do 'better' work...hope you're feelin' fine Ian...kind regards...

@Momo: Hi Momo....I'm feelin' fine thanks!...relieved to finally get my laptop back after 6 weeks or so.
Re. the camera choice, most modern DSLRs are so good these days that you don't need to spend a ton of money to get decent results (although I'd like a digital back Hassleblad very much if anyone's got one lying around that they don't use anymore LoL!)
Marhilde from Geraardsbergen, Belgium
The colors of the sky "increases" the image
26 Oct 2008 6:17pm
@Marhilde: Thanks Marhilde!....the colours in night time photos always seem to have great intensity. It's something to do with the way camera sensors work - they are more sensitive than our eyes to colour at night.
@LGB: Thanks LGB!
@amy: Hi Amy....it's so nice to finally get my laptop back so that I can finally process some of my holiday pics on a proper monitor and CS3 with a bit more confidence about whether the photo has the contrast, brightness levels and colours that I'm after.

@aubry: Thanks Marc....it's a beautiful place!
My favourite type of photography is landscapes on the beach and we were staying in a house 50 meters from this spot so you can imagine how happy I was!
Margie from Auckland, New Zealand
In colour! Gasp! : )
Very beautiful colour too, I like this a lot Ian.
26 Oct 2008 9:31pm
@Margie: Hi Margie....yes, it has occasionally been known that I'll actually process a photo in colour :-)

Sylvain from Trois Rivieres, Canada
Great colors !
But, for ones, I'm not fond of your composition choise. I personnally not centered the boat so much ;)
27 Oct 2008 2:32am
@Sylvain: Hi Sylvain..re the composition you must be a mindreader as I hesitated a lot about it and tried a few different crops.
