Marsh Path

Gallery: Man & NaturePosted October 22, 2014143 views5 comments

This past weekend my wife and I spent three nights at a little shack several miles offshore in Virginia's Barrier Islands, that has been in her family for many generations. There are only 4 or 5 of them in the whole barrier island chain, passed down from before it was owned by the Nature Conservancy. The trip was to celebrate our first anniversary, and it couldn't have been more wonderful. We spent each day fishing, clamming, crabbing, and exploring the endless waterways that cut through the marsh.

This dock leads from the nearest channel to the shack, and I took this photo of it one day in low light under stormy skies, before heading out to check our crab pots.

Nice, moody shot. Works well in black and white.

Classic, moody BW image, Thomas, no nits. I'm happy to see the Nature Conservancy doing its thing here.

Beautiful tones and mood to this Thomas and I like your comp. Congrats on your anniversary also. Looks like a cool place to get away.

Nice comp and processing, Thomas. The dark "high structure" look works well with this scene, heightening the dim, early morning feel.
