Derwentwater Ferry |
||
How/Why I Did It: This was taken last November at ‘Surprise View’
looking down on Derwentwater in the Lake District. The
Derwentwater Ferry runs the full length of the lake and calls in at
several landing stages to pick up and drop passengers. It was
turning to call in at a landing stage just out of shot at the bottom
left of the image. It was a calm, clear, sunny day and I liked
the wonderful pattern made by the wake from the boat. I had to
clone out a few floating distractions and do some work to control the
contrast to bring up the patterns in the water without losing too much
detail on the boat. Even so, some of the details were blown out
but I hope they are not too distracting. The picture for me is
all about the pattern in the wake. |

| Keith Smith | A
lovely simple picture using the wake of the boat to take the eye across
the water and to the boat itself which you have positioned so
well in the bottom left. You could almost have dispensed with the boat
and just made it into an abstract of the ripples. Either way
seems to work. A very well seen shot |

| Carol Hudson | My immediate reaction to this photo was to like it and then work why. I like the blue of the lake with all the ripples going across it with the flattish piece of water at the bottom. The boat as the focal point introduces different colours and it even has a reflection. The sweep of its wake is very pleasing and fills the picture. I wondered whether anyone would suggest flipping it so that the boat is going from left to right but personally it doesn't bother me. Lovely picture! | |
| Dave Wright | Amazing
conditions to produce a shot like this. I thought it was a model at
first as the ripples/waves didn’t seem to add up to the overall scale,
but if that was what it was like, perspective is a funny thing at
times. The pattern effect is striking and the boat position is right
for the lead into the bottom left, amazing shot. |

| Barbara Dumphy | I
found this to be a perfectly composed shot - that lovely wide expanse
of blue and those delightful ripples of water in an arc from the boat
and the boat itself catching the late - or early - sunlight. Really
beautiful. I can't see how it could be improved! |
