[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
While on our early morning walk on the Gahr Farm, we came upon a hill with a nice view toward the main house of the farm. Although The summer sun had already burned much of the morning fog, there was still some left to create mood.

Normally I am not a person that takes photos in a hurry. But, with the light fast bruning the fog and me being hungry, I set up my tripod, composed the photo, adjusted the settings and made the photo. Knowing that the light might give me a slightly bright sky, I felt that it did not hurt the mood of the photo.

Hoi Niek,
Wat een prachtige sfeer plaat met die mist op de achtergrond! Het geeft heel goed het vroege morgen gevoel weer. Mooi licht en fijne natuurlijke kleuren. Echt een goede SunToucher plaat! Helaas zie ik het te weinig op TL.
Hans

Hi,
This looks like a vast wild area!
Your note is interesting!
Great perspective, colours and light!
I like the mood Ana.

Beautiful Niek! There is a softness here, a pastel look, very well done. The scene flows nicely with the sweep of the hill, and an opposing sweep of the shadow and just keeps zigging back! I like this a lot!

Bom dia Niek,
Very good low POV, that makes a very good perspective. soft colors and lighting add some misterious to the picture.
Very good one.
TFS,
Raimundo

Beautiful vieuw. Very nice soft mood and good DOF. The contrast of the sharp forground and soft background looks great.

Well I think you did capture the mood very well Niek, even if it was a rushed shot. Great depth to this shot ... love the detail in the foreground, and the softness as you go deeper into the shot.
Very nice!
Trudy

I have seen many places like that. But the way you capture it makes it a special view. Beautiful, in fact. Excellent POV and composition. TFS

It's beautiful, Niek,
You did a wonderful job capturing that morning mood. I love the in focus plants in the FG fading to the softness created by the fog. Lovely soft color and I particularly like the dreamy quality it has. That is one pretty shot. Many thanks and kindest wishes,
Shelly

Hi Niek,

Depthining and details are excellent.
Like a oil painting! tfs.

Hi Niek,
Very creative composition. I like the way you put some weeds in the FG to make the photo much more interesting. The colours are subtle and muted, nicely fits the mood.

Hi Neik
The fog is gorgeous, serene and peaceful looking, well handled exposures, the light has worked very well here and the colours are as natural as you like.
Regards
Jim
