I agree with the corners being a bit too dark. I like the composition but it doesn’t look like it was at the extreme end of the 10-20mm. Apart from that, not much else to pick at.

and it is upside down!!!!! hahahahaha

I accidentally took the image on phone upside down and I can’t rectify it unless I import to Lr!! LOL

But you get the idea…..

LOL! All I can say is phew! I expected to be casted out or something….

Here is a pic that hasn’t been touched. One I didn’t use, as the boat in the distance is blurry…..but you can see that it is pretty similar to all the other images…..just that the others have had noise reduction (it is an iPhone!!), and sharpening on the poles…[Read more]

….. and no doubt smartphone images are probably frowned upon!

What’s your your opinion on the subject?

If I had my camera with me I no doubt would have taken these with the camera instead but I was away without it and, as always, when you don’t have a camera the most amazing sight will be seen. =D

This is gorgeous! I love the depth and the colours.

Well, I guess I should come clean then, hey?? These were taken with an iPhone. No filters, no instagram, nothing. A morning that certainly was one in a million. I can even show you the original….noise and all! LOL

I probably would have stuffed it up if I took these with the camera! hahaha

=D Yep!

Oh for heavens sake……I did it again!! Can one of the mods please move this to the Landscape Section. Yes, you can slap my wrist if I do it a third time!!!! 😉

Thanks! =D

Truuuuust me….these were a fluke! I have never seen a sunrise like this again, but I hope I do one day. Thanks for the compliment anyway! =D

I am going to post my usual seascapes….then you can judge me! 😉

I never really looked upon my seascapes as a ‘series’ until someone mentioned it….and then I thought that it does represent one.

To me a series is one that is unified by something….be it a colour/s, form, genre. It can be as broad (a sunset series of just sunsets!) or as narrow in the idea (my sunset series).

On other forums, some…[Read more]

Thanks! I am so pleased with this series. The area doesn’t have any surf, as it is in a bay, so the water just has very slight ripples when it is calm. The post in the distance (and more on the horizon) are for the channel to guide the boats in to the jetty and ramp. I will post up the others. 🙂

This is meant to be in the Art of PHotography section!!!! Can a mod move it???? Sorry!

Well, The Shark Tank is what brought me over to here! I saw the Lightstalking FB page promote it and thought YES!! Finally a forum area that actually gives critique instead of the usual ‘nice pic’! I am learning and I need to know what others see is wrong with my image. Ive only subitted one image but the feedback on that image was huge and I…[Read more]

Yep, higher ISO to help boost the speed, so that anything moving will be sharp. Make sure the focus points on the camera are at the eyes.

It looks too yellow???? I would do a colour correction to adjust that.
