We managed t' squeeze a sunrise out o' t' Airshow safari in Newcastle. T' seas were a little rough and I had t' hold aft on t' wideangle shaninagans somewhat. Thanks Peter for suggestin' this location as I had never been despite seein' zillions o' pictures o' it on Flickr. Here be a few for your critique as usual... Thanks for lookin'.

Thanks André for loan o' t' 10 stoppa...


Catching a wave




Gerry saw the potential here which I completely overlooked! Thanks.

Surenj, my dearr lad. Me think ya got two good
shots heer. 1 & 3 arre good, neigh they'r are as
good as ... pieces of eight!

Arrrrgghhhh, ye got some fine images herrrre, Surrrrren.

That first one worked really nicely didn't it?? I would just give it a slight boost on the saturation or a bit of curve to just make it pop a bit more.

The third one is also very nicely captured,

Great set of image Suren,

cheers,

André
(good thing I don't have to talk like a pirate arrghh)

Suren, that bigstopper is gonna be on my shopping list soon I reckon, that first image you have with that ND is very nice, good use of the fence also! As Andre mentioned, some more contrast and maybe saturation, however also try dialling down the exposure just a fraction...

Thats very good spotting on the second image, excellent use of the long lens you had, you have successfully made a premo image with the gear you had

man, I took alot of pictures of that pump house! your pumphouse shot is quite nice, perfect exposure and water movement....

The third image I am indifferent about, it may however, grow on me!

Thanks boys. Will have a look. I was really digging the high key look for this. The raw is not burnt like it's on the jpeg however.

Thanks Gerry, I am quite keen to get some human action on my landscapes these days... That's why need a resident dslr fisherman on our seascapes..

I would seriously look into the Lightcraft variable ND filter as well. Similar price AND you can compose while the filter is on... BUT you may only get 8 stoppage out of it. Arghhh....

All good, #3 is a cracker, no doubt about it.

I have to admit that the warning sign in the last is a bit distracting (may I suggest some use of a particular tool?)

You guys must have been up early!

Thanks Cameron, I will have a go at that.

Yes. 0415. The sunrise was around 0545.
Soon it will change a bit with the daylight savings ...
