June 26, 2020 —From the Side of Mt.Tamalpais, Above Stinson Beach, California
ICM impression of a fog bank coming in on the beach.
I was thinking, after the past few days a little more color might be nice. Just a little.

It’s good that your photo of a fog bank can still rouse such high interest in viewers, given the very low interest banks now offer. Would that banks, rapidly, went back to giving savers a little more interest. Just a little.

The blue/brown contrast is interesting. The white horizontal lines stir the imagine. Thank you for sharing your work. Be safe. Be well.

Thank you. That’s what struck me. This is an extremely small crop of a much larger frame.

Adept expression of both palette and tonality

A little color is nice. I appreciate black and white images, and I understand why so many photographers prefer working in b&w at least part of the time, but my response to them is seems intellectual rather than emotional, if that makes any sense. On the other end of the spectrum, I’m not at all fond of overly saturated color, or color for color’s sake, but there’s a large sweet spot, roughly between this image and your abstractions of the California poppies, where I’m really happy.

I understand. The images of the last few days actually are color images but the color is toned way down. This particular one is desaturated quite a bit as well. Watch for the image that I put up tonight which might hit your sweet spot. The poppies really are intended to be explosions of color, because that’s what they are in nature.

Good image – its the colour of the beach here that brings this alive for me. 🙂

Thank you. That’s what jumped out at me too. And the white streak of the surfline. This was taken from a mountain ridge at an altitude of about 1000 feet looking down.

This is seriously opting as one of my favorite of your creations. Such an amazing… oil painting! 😉

Thank you very much. It was actually inspired by an oil painting by a street artist in Munich way back in 1967.

That’s a nice amount of color and all the bands and layers are pleasing. I especially like the warm tones spreading softly toward us and the even more subtle hint in the sky.

Thank you. That’s what my eyes locked onto when I was going through these frames one more time. This is probably only about 1/10 of the entire frame.

Well, 1/10 seems just enough. Sometimes the whole frame is too much.

True. In contrast, today’s is the entire frame.
