Coogee Dawn - Ross Jones Memorial Pool...Thoughts, Comments and Suggestions? - any favourite(s)? and interested in a pick between #3 and #4
Just after arriving at the location - a two minute very pre dawn 5:25AM long exposure Lemon & Lime 6AM and it's about 20 minutes before sunrise Coogee Blue Moments before sunrise Golden Barriers Blockade Just before sunrise a film crew arrived with a family with a young girl to film some footage for a commercial. Since the crew basically took over portions of the pool and weren't at all interested in being considerate of other people's compositions - in the end I had to try incorporating some shots with the young girl in it. At this stage one of the guys shooting for the commercial is actually underwater here shooting up at the girl with her hand in the water. I guess I'll have to wait for the commercial to come out before trying to understand why Testing the Waters D600, D7000, Nikon/Sigma/Tamron Lenses, Nikon Flashes, Sirui/Manfrotto/Benro Sticks

Re: Coogee Dawn - Ross Jones Memorial Pool...Very nice photos. I like the colours and composition.
Re: Coogee Dawn - Ross Jones Memorial Pool...I still think the 1st and 2nd are beatiful and I cannot
help but admiring the sheer artistry of the composition and cobinations of colours.
Re: Coogee Dawn - Ross Jones Memorial Pool...I find Nos 2 and 4 the most striking...4 because the features seem monumental....2 because there is a sense of serenity that the image invokes. I wish the child in the last image was much closer to the camera...so that she became the subject. I think the image would have taken on a new life. I have to admire your grit getting up that early and setting these up...that's dedication!

Re: Coogee Dawn - Ross Jones Memorial Pool...There's something about number 4 that jumps out at you. It's recognisable for what it is, but the shapes and lines take on a life of their own. That, and the wonderful colours of the image. It's a terrific photo. I do like the last one as well, but, yes, it is a pity the girl couldn't be closer.
Re: Coogee Dawn - Ross Jones Memorial Pool...These are all great shots. I would pick #4 as I think it has a slightly better balance than #3.

Re: Coogee Dawn - Ross Jones Memorial Pool...Thankyou all - especially for your comments regarding #3 and 4 - I'd originally leant towards #3 but you've made a compelling argument for #4 and I do understand the reasons why - thankyou
