Reflected Light - a photo on Flickriver

Reflected Light

            Sometimes we’re able to plan a specific photograph, and leave almost no room for coincidences or misfortune. Also, sometimes we just explore some locations and see whatever the day and the light gives us (probably my favorite!). But there are times where you just happened to be at (or very nearby) a location that you want to shoot for some time and you just have to accept the given circumstances at the time. This is the type a lot of hobbyists like myself have to deal with every now and then, and so it was the case at this quite beautiful spot at Zierikzee. On a time window of only half an hour I was trying to make the most of this ‘golden hour’ that never came. The sun was going down behind the tower, just on the right side, but I didn’t even see a glimpse of it. So the result was a nice moody sky, but a very dark subject. Then rain started pouring down and I had to look quickly for a shelter. But after a few minutes, the rain stopped and suddenly some beautiful reflected light from the clouds behind me appeared on the city gate. I was amazed by the difference it made to the scenery and although the wind was blowing significantly, I was able to get a nice reflection by using a 6-stop nd filter. So at the very last minute I luckily came away with a decent photograph. Eventually I was a bit late for the sports tournament I participated in, and where I had to be in the first place. But hey, you’re a photographer or you’re not!

Thanks for having a look! All faves and comments are highly appreciated!
