Two Things Challenge - East / West

For this challenge, I bring you an old and a new photo.

Old

Sunrise - East
Sunrise over Fourtown Lake in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW)
A camping/fishing trip I took with my father, Bob and Ron. A n annual spring tradition that started for me in 1978; 27 springs of camping in the wilderness, miles from modern conveniences.
This was captured with my old Nikon point and shoot 3 megapixel camera.

Well DL, you blew me slap out of the water today. Why did I ever agree to do a challenge with you??? The sunset ( and sunrise) master!

Both photos are wonderful, but I prefer the top. Everything about it appeals to me, esp. the canoe that is beached on the shore. Tells a visual story all by itself.

Beautiful pictures of sun rises. I love the effects on the bottom one. Interesting interpretation.

Thanks for stopping by, Dusty Lens. I graduated from Hamline so I'm familiar with some of your locations. I particularly appreciate the photo of the Boundary Waters. I have some wonderful memories of that part of the world.

These are gorgeous. I'll bet there's a nice chill in the air too.

They are both nice shots, but I think the second one reflects your obvious growth as a photographer. Beautiful!

I think your old one is better. Your new one might have been taken with a DSLR but at the size it doesn't matter. The problem I have with the new one is the big block of black in the lower right corner. It's too much and maybe a crop would be better. Now your old photo has detail in the shadow areas. OK it hasn't got the resolution of the new one but has a nice balance and feel to it.
