A state of isolation or seclusion – well i would have felt like this at this location however I had enough mosquitoes to literally carry me away.
Pretty much cloudless except for a few fluffies wandering past but i still liked the pastel tones coming off the predawn sun.
techie stuff:
D7000 coupled with 17-55mm f2.8 @ Aperture: f/8 and Shutter Speed: 229s
out front – LEE bigstopper, LEE graduated filter 0.9 and screw in circular polariser (just 'cause i would have had to swat 15 billion mosquitoes whilst getting it off 🙂 )
As always, I welcome any suggestions, comments and improvements to my photography, they are always warmly welcomed!
Thankyou to you all who comment and plus my posts, I do appreciate it and do try and at respond to everyone 🙂 Rest assured I am always checking out my commenters streams (when i probably should be doing something else 🙂 )

Awesome job! Thanks for the description of your technique as well.
Don't change a thing mate !! It's perfect.
Beautiful. Love the minimalist composition.
amazing
Beautiful image.
I like the line of of elements in the smooth water.
How do you keep the camera steady for 229s? Around here there always seems to be a breeze which shakes within 10s.
+Gerard Blacklock, this is awesome!! Love the colors – they work so very well!
Good shot. it's beautiful. I would love to experience some solitude 🙂

a good sturdy tripod and head will hold steady under light wind – in this case there was no wind.
