Three muskateers

Postby surenj on Mon May 03, 2010 9:05 pm

in Clovelly beach at 0530.

Next time we will need to learn a bit about the tides and how to use that to our advantage. Does anyone have any advice on this?

I had too much flare on my bracketed shots that I couldn't do any photomatic HDR. So most of these are combined exposures.

Otherwise here is a selection from the morning for your C & C as usual. Thanks for looking.

Great images all round. I do like the sillouette in the first. Not sure about tides though. Should be easy to find the info about tides etc.

horizons are all straight :roll:

a very nice set of images, I much prefer the 'cooler' look on these types of scenes (1 and 4), I guess it goes with the seascape more imo.

That first image is excellent, just shows a single exposure image with the right composition can really ring a bell! plus it has one awesome model there too. :rotfl2: Its a shame you did not have a long lens to get a silhouette !

nice work with the birdies too, i was wondering how they would turn out!

#4 is a cropped version, is it cropped from the bottom? I get drawn to that brillant white of the waves and I am left with wanting more!

All thos eimages have very good composition and you cannot go wrong with that.

No amount of processing will fix bad composition - trust me i have tried.

Hmm..interesting. I tried the cooler look but didn't really like it. Will have another look.

It's interesting how 1/30 shutter can capture them! #2 I cheated a bit and took the birds from another frame of the same scene. so it's actually 4 photo composite rather than HDR.

I am glad you were co0operative enough to stay still for 30 seconds... :mrgreen: I reckon we take radios next time and position our models. Perhaps also get a red jacket.... :wink:

It's about 30% crop but the bottom is just black so I didn't have much of a choice. I wasn't so sure about that image as well. I just couldn't make myself throw it because the birds are nearly perfectly positioned! :cheers:

after looking at it a third time, I reckon the image is pretty well perfect as it is...it is really starting to grow on me :cheers:
