Yesterday was sadly typical of Perth's Autumn weather, sunny, cloudless and temperature in the mid 30's for most of the day. New lens in the bag and so I had to take some piccies in the full glare of the sun. At least going to Cottesloe gave me the chance to have some fish and chips on the beach. Yummo.


D300; nice shiny brand new Sigma 70-200 @ 70mm f/2.8; 1/3000th sec; 200 ISO; PP in NX2

I've never seen anyone so tanned and sunburnt at the same time. See my Flickr site for a shot or two of the colour of her leather hide.

No feedback at all? I know that it's not the case that there nothing I can learn or improve I really would appreciate some feedback on this.

I wasn't sure about where to crop but atm I'm fairly happy with the composition. The BW conversion was done in Nikon CaptureNX2 after applying a yellow filter which darkened the skin slightly then I reduced the overall image brightness slightly but added an almost equal increase in the contrast.

I liked the shallow dof and the oof blurring of the rocks.

I did see this one initially and thought I did provide feedback. Perhaps it was just to the other voices in my head.

I like the DOF, B&W conversion and contrast. Whilst I am not sure how to solve it, I think the subject is a little lost in the background. However, overall, I think this is a great shot. Better than the colour variants on your flickr site.

First time I've seen this. I seem to be missing lots of posts lately. I will have to modify my viewing technique.

I agree, but actually think this makes the shot for me. I like the "sunbather as part of the landscape" feel it gives.
I find the blown sky more of an issue. I would prefer if the neutral tones continued into the sky, or perhaps it was just rocks to the edge of the world.

reminds me of B&W work from the early seventys..... very nice
