The Beginnings of Autumn at Blakeney

Yesterday, I mentioned that I might post my DSLR Blakeney photos, so here we are. There was not much space from which to take different compositions,  and there was also not a ton of colour over there, so the views were limited, and you will see that the three images are similar.


I like the first one ↑ best, probably because of the front and centre foreground rocks.

I zoomed in more for this ↓ one, but I miss the rocks. I thought the dead tree would present enough interest, but the little foreground that there is looks rather blank.


I was trying something ↓ but I didn't execute very well.

By the way, Blakeney is a little conservation area just about twenty minutes north of us. It is on the edge of the Canadian [Precambrian] Shield, and those are very, very old rocks that you are seeing. The ancient bedrock is very close to and even right at the surface here, as is usual on the Shield.

  1. Love all three! I like when a river has a few rocks and thus different shades of waves with even a bit of white water. Glad to know what those old rocks are called. Much different than our old rocks...which are pretty smoothed down by waters.

  2. You trees are looking pretty already. Ours are rotting off the trees from all the rain this summer.

  4. Those rocks add a lot to the photo. It shows me that sometimes the intangibles make the picture pop.

  8. Yes, the first one is best, I think. Now I need to go read up on the Precambrian shield. If I ever knew anything about it, I have forgotten it.

  13. Elegant autumn view. The water contrasts well against the trees.

  14. I find early fall intriguing, as the trees are just beginning to change. You capture it beautifully.
