Tabular Iceberg at Sunrise Photo

Photographer’s Note

This is one of the first iceberg picture I've ever done and also one of my first try with the flm Velvia.
The mist effect in the foreground was actually created by the waves as the exposure time was around 2 minutes.

Welcome on TE Nicolas.
It is a really amazing shot! Composition & framing seem perfect to me, and the scala of misty blues is very attractive. It creates a wonderful, mysterious atmosphere.
Great beginning...

Wlcome to TE Nicolas.

This is a great first picture. It looks verry mysterious with the fog rizing from the ground. A slight tilt to the right would bring the horizon to a straight line but that does not bother me at all really.

Keep the good work coming!

Beautifull picture Nicolas. Nice composition. J'aime beaucoup l'atmosphère dégagée par la brume. Welcome on TE.

This is a great picture.
In my opinion the best part is not the iceberg but the mist between the rocks in the foreground. I think a little bit brightening would help a bit...but not too much!
The horizon is indeed slightly tilted to the left.

Great shot, the composition is nice and as was mentioned the mist between the forground rocks is what makes this shot special, and also it is a little too dark.

La pause dans la brume donne un bel effet sur cette image agrémenté de jolis tons de bleu.
C'est l'avant plan de rochers qui donne à l'image sa beauté.
L'icberg est par contre trop loin.

The pause in the fog gives a beautiful effect on this image decorated of pretty tone of blue. It is the foreground of rocks which gives to the image its beauty. The icberg is a little too far.

Good shot! Consider using Contrast Masking to enhance the shadow detail, and I'd also consider rotating the image about 0.42° CW to correct a slight tilt to the horizon. Finally I'd think about saving a slightly higher quality JPEG next time. It's an excellent capture though. Welcome to TrekEarth! :-D

Beautiful shot. Almost looks like mountian tops above the clouds. The rocks in the foreground set the whole scene in place.

Keep posting.

Good idea for the pause in the fog, it gives a beautiful effect to your photo.
Great scala of blues.
Very nice foreground.
Unreal atmosphere

Beautiful. Nice exposure!

Welcome to TE! Nice composition. Velvia is my favorite film for landscape, be careful with exposition/contrast in the scene and this film will give you many joys! Watch out for reciprocity failure in long exposures, there is no big problem with colours but your photos may become underexposed.
