Hi all.

Appreciate any comments you may have on these shots. I'm in the process of getting my space on Kristine's site but I believe she is out of action at the moment so I'm posting here

in the interim.

Though I've shot a couple of hundred photos, these are the first I've managed to post online for your perusal, enjoyment and/or amusement.

Thanks,

Simon

Hi Manta
Like the composition of the photos. The sea shot is nice with the sunray coming out of cloud - well done. Regarding noise - is it a high ISO, or maybe oversharpening in pp?

Thanks for the comments.

ISO 200 but I may have oversharpened a bit. I also adjusted the levels and upped the saturation slightly. With the sunrise shot, I was trying to acheive the lowest possible shutter speed hoping to get a blurred effect with the surf. I didn't have a tripod with me so there was a bit of camera shake which resulted in a slight blur overall.

Lesson learned: get the focus right to start with and you don't have to fix it in Photoshop later. :oops:

Simon,

As Matt would say, neat and in the middle. :)

Do you have a CPL yet? I'm thinking that the second shot might have benefited from the extra contrast and colour depth that a CPL might have brought out.

Not yet Gary. I'll keep it in mind though.
Thx.
