GIVING THANKS FOR THE BOUNTY OF NATURE

The light in New York was amazing today.
Every couple of minutes the clouds would shift and the light
would shift and it was just a feast for the senses. If you didn't grab
the shot you wanted right away it would be gone a moment later.
I don't often see skies like today's.

This was taken at a park on the Hudson River. There were so many
interestingly lighted shots that I had difficulty choosing which one to post.

I hope you enjoy this one I chose.

Oh, and I almost forgot...
Happy Thanksgiving one and all.

Holy cow, look at that sky! This is a gorgeous picture. I absolutely love the color.

Stunning shot. I know what you mean by the mercurial nature of light and trying to capture it. This shot looks like a painting and - like almost everything you do - is visually incredible.

amazing sky . . .and so very cool how the trees are sunlit, yet the sky says storm =]

Yes, I was was driving home on 684 in Westchester before and couldn't take my eyes off the gorgeous lighting as the sun was setting...don't remember ever seeing such light!! I was so upset I did not have my camera with me!! What a great capture...!!

I wasn't ever quite away of the mecurial nature of light until I got a camera. Sometimes an opportunity is only minutes, or even seconds, long. The light in this photo is amazing. The trees are so nicely illuminated, and that contrasts nicely with the brooding sky.

Happy Thanksgiving to you as well!

The contrast between the park and sky is amazing. The clouds have a hint of navy blue in them. Well done
Peter Hollinger26-Nov-2004 03:18
Beautiful contrast between the bright trees and the dark sky.
Guest 26-Nov-2004 03:16
Beautiful light in the foreground and trees. Is that the river in the background?
