Colourless Dawn

[Ken Rennie]

The conditions were right for early morning mist so an early start. Dawn brought no colour and last week's snow had disappeared but the quality of the light was terrific, a nice day and I didn't think of Covid all day. Ken

Two nice images, but that second one is the one that grabs my attention.

Looks rather chilly with the ice along the edges of the water in the second image. They are both good images but the second one really stands out for my eyes.

Lovely set Ken. Like them both.

I can see several sub compositions out of the second image with close up of the trees and their reflections.

What super cool conditions! That’s a great day to forget about Covid-19 indeed. I like both of these a lot, but #2 also stands out to me. I like how it’s framed with ice along the bottom.

There is sufficient color to make these very nice images, Ken.

I agree w/Ben & Jim. The second image has it! I also think that there are a few other comps in this one

Thanks everyone. I did manage to take 83 images while standing beside the lake. The ice is actually in the middle of the lake which is just over 1/2 mile wide at this point.

The 2 images posted were taken at approx 200mm but many of the others were taken at 400mm as I tried to capture portraits of individual trees. Overall view just as the sun broke through completely and sent the dynamic range through the roof. Taken at 32mm to give an overall view. I will set up a Gallery ( Bassenthwaite Dawn) and pop images in when I process them. Ken

All 3 images are simply stunning!

This was taken less than a minute after the 2nd image just as the sun broke through for the first time. This is a 2 shot Pano @400mm. Ken

You saved he best for last, Ken

I agree with Doug - this last one is great.

Wonderful set, Ken! I love the light behind the sharp trees in 2 & 3.

Gorgeous setting! (I try not to think of Covid everyday )
