Sausalito Morning

Sausalito Morning by PatrickSmith
The first storm of the rainy season blew through last week bringing with it some nice cloud formations. So I made a side-trip on my way to work with this image in mind because only at low tide can you get into this spot. Thanks to Martin W for seeing the posts as an abstraction of the city!
I am realizing that I should capture some images of the city skyline before it changes forever. A 1400 foot tower is about to go up along with several thousand footers and many more over 600 feet. (What would it be like 1400 feet up during an earthquake?) Fortunately, they are going up on the other side of downtown as seen from here. The touristy parts of town will remain mostly unchanged.
On this side of the bay however, life remains quiet and peaceful.

Beautiful Patrick. Sausalito is such a wonderful place if not too mobbed by tourists... like at this time of the day. In fact the whole area is lovely from there, over the headlands and up the coast to Mendocino and beyond. Lovely image. Cheers, Martin.

Thanks for your comments!
Well Jouko, actually I have discovered some dust spots. Just small ones in the corners. I have used the Eclipse fluid and some swabs but the spots are still there. I had to change lenses and it was windy. I did it in a plastic bag but some dust still got in!
Sarah, I knew you'd liek a little architacture. I'll try to work some more in this winter.
LOL Tony, I'm saving that one for later. Kim would not have liked that one I suspect!

I see them Melanie, and I do like to stay away from the pile drivers of the city right now, though it can be an exciting place.
Good eye Martin. I was wondering when somebody would mention it! I didn't want to put it in the description so see if it was noticeable. But now I can. I'm just experimenting with abstraction now.

Beautiful, beautiful ambience and exposure Patrick but the composition bothers me a little.
I know it probably wasn't possible and you will have made the most of the viewpoint you had but I would have liked to have seen the posts not cut through those stunning forms in the background. A higher position maybe? But then I can appreciate the balance of the small fg posts on the left would have been spoilt........aaargghhh so many elements to unbalance!
Still very much clickable mind but maybe worth a re-visit?

I know what you mean Dan. I do have some from slightly higher where the posts to not break the horizon but they don't quite have the depth. So I uploaded this version instead. When I came home after shooting this, I thought that those would be better, but I like this more with bits of the posts breaking the horizon. I did make sure that the posts did not touch important parts of the bridge or skyline. There are several other things I want to do here, so we will see.

We get quite few shots of posts sticking up out of lakes with hills or mountains behind, but none that I can remember with a cityscape behind. It's a beautiful image Patrick.

Thanks to all the lookers and Eve!
Almost Phil. I took this before work and it was low tide. I ended up sliding down a slippery rock and getting seaweed all over my pants. Fortunately I had no big meetings!
No Suzie, you are definitely not first this time. No chance of the feet staying dry this weekend though. I have a few very wet places to visit! You have a great weekend too. Good job keeping the mysterious one's spirits up!

Hi Patrick,
Nice composition as always, the scene look very trtanquil and your long exposure has added nicely to the mood of this shot, movement in the sky compliments that in the water nicely.

Great Patrick but from one who doesn't intentionally seek out scenes but reacts to what I find, may I suggest and I hope you don't mind but I would have kept the horizon above the posts. Its a very fine image regardless.

Thanks Tommy and Colin!
Not really Suzie!
Hi Kin, I do have one with them below the horizon but it doesn't seem to have the punch of this one. So I carefully positioned the posts so as to not block the important background elements. But some like it the other way, so I may post the other ones.

This one calls for music to relax by it is so beautifully gentle on the eye. Therefore it would make a good wall picture in the lounge of an hotel.

1400ft on a below ground rubbish dump with an earthquake in progress hmmm.......
Anyway on to the photo - this really captures the imagination Patrick, brillant use of the sticks made all the more special with the city skyline in the distance. The skyline adds to the photo but doesnt detract from the main subject.
