A blue morning
Posted by JJ (Jersey City, United States) on 27 January 2009 in Plant & Nature.
Take on one of my morning strolls last week, was quite happy with how this came out and some others from last weeks morning walks, makes the slight bit of frostbite I got from standing in the snow too long worthwhile ;)
Thank you for taking the time to visit. I really appreciate all your comments, and welcome any critique as I am learning the art of photography, and having a blast with it
Getting ready for a work trip from the 29th so may not be able to check all your posts but will do as and when I can

You get up early. I do too but I can rarely bring myself to get out at that hour. I like the blue cast on the snow and the fact that the bridge seems unsharp compared with the rest of the photo. I'm sure that's my eyes deceiving me or something.

A beautiful scene. I love the silhouetted tree. But, it is the shadow detail that makes it for me. Great work!

It is a beautiful view. Lovely composition. The cold is tough to deal with but the results are worth it.

I just love how the snow in low light (sunrise or sunset) turns the world to blue. Beautiful image JJ!

And it indeed has come out very well. I like how you have portrayed the city in such different perspective.

I like this first light, this is beautiful. It's day and night at the same time, I cannot say if there is somebody in the middle or a statue. Great morning shot

Brrr you're a brave man but it was worth it, I like the blue hues in the snow but most of all I like the early morning light picking the details up through the bridge. Yeah I know I'm odd ;O)
How's the tutorials?

haha you poor thing! lovely scene! I look forward to seeing your others too! Is that a steam vent or something in the foreground?? - it seems odd that it isn't covered in snow!

Love the combination of cold blue and warm yellow in the snap. Certainly looks like a cold start for the day :)
