Time Immortal

I’m thinking that the “full size” images don’t look as sharp as they should; maybe it’s iPhoto. I may need to look at other scaling options along my editing pipeline.

This is a fairly straightforward picture of some of the little harbour/inlet that the boat were were using as a party venue was docked in. I’d have given…well…something, at any rate, for the sky to be less cloudy than it was, but things weren’t shaping up that way, so I made do.

Edit-wise, I decided to rely on contrast to make this picture a bit more interesting, and overall I think it worked out. There’s something to be said for being able to bring out the contour and texture of the clouds without diminshing the foreground details into a black, uninteresting mass. Lightroom’s “Fill Light” tool helped out there.

Framing also helps the shot — putting the foreground dock remnant (at least, that’s what I think it is) off-centre like that helps make the image a bit more visually interesting, without sacrificing a glimpse of any of the important details of the scene.
