Sublime and Beautiful Sunday _ early morning light
Sublime and Beautiful Sunday
Before getting into this post Want to wish anyone in the path of Hurricane Henri all the best and to stay safe, the outer bands of it and touching us now, some wind and heavy rain but nothing to bad yet, it looks like it will swing to the west of us but wont be as bad as it could have been for us, but still predicting heavy rain, wind and of course with that power outages along its path.
They say the power outages may be a multiple day thing so if I go quiet for a couple of days that could be why, but fingers crossed we will be lucky
This post is for #SublimeSunday is inspired by @c0ff33a and #BeautifulSunday is initiated by @ace108.
As you know I often go out in the early morning to catch the sunrise, but sometimes I get to where I want to try for shots a little early, and its still pretty dark and I have some time to fill till the sun starts to rise and I wonder about looking for shots that may work in the semi darkness at that time, and this post is a few shots from such an outing.
I went to the Port to get some shots, and while waiting for the light to get better I snapped a few shots.
Starting with this shot Looking down between a couple of the docks, a couple of police boats in shot, and a touch of red in the sky, which Io be honest I barely noticed when taking this shot

Now the rest of these shots and perhaps the first one, some may not see as beautiful being dark and perhaps moody, but I do find the early morning even before the sunrise can be beautiful
Next Up we have the Fishermans memorial statue, which I have shared shots of in better light, but I do like this one as well witht he lights in the background.

Now this is where the more sublime part of this post comes into play, its just looking down a ramp to one of the piers, but I liked how the ramp and the pier made a leading line/vanishing point into this image.
Now I know many may think why would you take a photo of that, and I know that because as I was taking this photo a passerby said the exact thing to me, and how did I answer you may wonder.
Simply I said, because it caught my eye, it may not appeal to everyone but beauty is in the eye of the beholder and smiles.

I then crossed across the road into the downtown part of the city with the cobblestone streets to get a couple of shots, I literally only took two shots as looking at them on the screen of my camera I wasn't that impressed with them, but when I saw them on my computer I liked them and edited them for this post.
A question for the other photographers, do you also sometimes look at a shot on the camera screen and think either WOW thats good, and then see it on the computer and then think what the heck,
Or Look at a shot on the screen and think, this is terrible only to find you like it on the computer?
Thats why I never delete photos off the camera, until I have imported them all to my PC

And looking the other direction on the street, I love the cobblestone streets down there, I generally tend to edit them into Mono, but with these two I stuck with color

.I love them all, especially the first photo has such a calm and dreamy look in my eyes 👍
I also don't delete photos in camera, except the ones that are really blurry, and many times an image that looks good in camera isn't that good on the big monitor :)
Thanks my friend, always trying to get some variety in shots so my feed doesnt look all the same
Cheers and !BEER

.Beautiful as always! Have a nice Sunday!
Thanks, A rainy Windy day with a Hurricane close by so an indoors editing photos sort of day\
you to have a great day
Same here, raining for last two days so no puting.
Nice early morning light photography.
Thanks kindly your support is appreciated
Have a great day
I am almost always more impressed with the shot as it looks on the viewfinder than when I look at it on the computer. I have lost count of the number of times I've looked at it enlarged and was disappointed. Alas.
Great shots @tattoodjay! Superb job with the lighting, and your perspective is always top notch.
Thanks for your feedback I think that's mostly the case with me as well
Yeah I can see why you took the ramp, the line that it created. Not an absolute definitive linear line so to speak, but it became the centrepoint which made each of the spots in the outer peripherals more distitive and then there is the perspective from the handles. Nope Loved it.
I almost love the ramp shot as much as the first shot...
And I know what you mean about thinking one thing but the opposite being true with your photos.
Many times I've taken great photos of gorgeous flowers or whatever, put them into photoshop and fiddled with them a bit thinking that they would look great on my redbubble products, but very suprisingly, they don't...so I never delete photos- even my old film.
I will still keep it (though one day I might put it all in a big bucket of water...) but I doubt it. I'm angling for more photo albums....(not that I need anymore of them either..🙄.....)
Thanks for your kind feedback and thoughts
NO never put them into a bucket keep them
I hope tat you're ok over there!
Atleast you'l get some good shots out of the Hurricane, after all this is a moment in history for you guys, not a good one, but something to remember...
Take care!
And I will not put them into a bucket- until I absolutely have to. 😄
We got lucky and didn’t get hit hard at all it turned away from us a bit in the last day
Phew that's lucky cause I remember just how much of a terrible impact that massive storm had in NYC a few years back...
Oh well go and grab those unique shots!
Thanks, and yes I remember the one your talking about Super Storm Sandy where i lived in CT got hit hard by that one
Have a great day
Yeah that one....Good luck and have a great week too!
First photo of the docks is stunning, capturing the moment with soft light in sky.
Pier going into yonder another nicely balanced shot of feeling movement drawing you along.
Cobblestones always a great feature, what I enjoyed here is the soft street lamp lights inviting you to enjoy their warmth in the early glow of morning.
Another fantastic set of early mornings out JJ.
Thanks so much Joan so kind of you
I hope your day is going well
Slight touch of winter going through once again, sure to be most enjoyable thanks JJ.
Wow! Certainly beauty is in the eye of the beholder and these pictures are just IT! With good lens, pictures taken in the dark or at twilight are always stunning.
I particularly like the first picture. You captured the beauty of the reflections of the buildings and the lights in the water.
Nicely done! Happy Sunday! 🙂
Thanks such a kind comment and truly appreciated
Funny thing, I didn’t realize you were in Mass as well! We are north of Boston ourselves! I’ve seen you host lots of things but didn’t really check it out, sorry lol.
Love the snaps of the docks! I used to love living right near the water, it was a lot of fun to get out there and catch a sunrise! Some great pics you got here. I think the one down the walkway to the dock is my favorite. Cool vibe to it!
Thanks I also didn’t know we lived fairly close
We only moved here last year after I retired and haven’t made it to the Boston area yet but we will one day
Have a great day
Evening photos this time!
They are wonderful!
Trying to catch up....
It is still Sunday hehehe.
Some days it’s hard to keep up lol
Have a great day
Isn't it so true, @tattoodjay.
It is one is my biggest struggles 👍😀😆😜
Hang in there
Such a quiet moment on the streets. I think the vanishing point shots are great.
Sometimes, I do delete the photos on the phone but only those I'm sure I don't want.
For the uncertain, I still go back to look on the computer monitor before deciding to delete.
Thanks and appreciate your thoughts
Have a great day
you're welcome.
I like them all , the first one and the cobblestones grabbed my attention. I guess you are becoming a night crawler now LOL @dreemsteem
Lol about night crawler but so not me still an early morning person those were all early morning shots
Thanks for your feedback 👍
Yeah you mention that in your title, but i guess you got up way too early LOL 😂
I am a morning person too :)
Well I have bene waking consistently at 3:30 Am for some reason I used to wake just after 4 so not sure why, and since the sunrise is now not till 6AM ish your right i am up far to early
I also wake up at 3.33 am everyday in the last 12 months for some reason. I understand .. I was just kidding about you being a night crawler LOL
I have bene waking at 4Am since I was maybe 14 and now that I am retired I would love to break that habit but I just cannot do it
LOL your body seems to have its clock firmly fixed and functioning perfectly. 😂😆
Yeah that’s what it is
Breathtakingly beautiful! Sweet Jesus! You make the world a much more beautiful place! Thank you!
And you do the same with your amazing kindness and support with comments such as this
Have a great day
Indeed these are all sublime photos taken by you! I particularly love your response to that question and I couldn't agree more, Beauty is ever truly in the eye of the beholder! and you captured that beautifully well! Very well done
I also would like to wish you and everyone especially in the line of the hurricane to stay safe in the event of the hurricane!!!!
I was brought to your Hive post through @dreemport
Thnaks so much for such a kind comment, we were lucky the hurricane turned and we just got the edge of it and not much damage at all in our area, but some areas got hit real hard
-True! That beauty is in the eye of the beholder! And all the views and photos you have showed here were all beautiful! I hope the hurricane did not give damage to the place?. Please keep on showing us all your wonderful captured photos from different amazing views Sir @tattoodjay ..it was truly a sublime beautiful Sunday!🙏
@dreemport
Thanks so much and we got lucky the hurricane turned and missed us fir the most part
Stay well
Stay safe !
Such an early riser you are .. I always plan to wake up like you and start my day a little earlier but I always meet failure.
Can you give me some photography classes. You are amazing in yourself. They are just super amazing.
@dreemport
It’s been a habit for me waking up by 4am for so many years I just can’t break it
