Some recent pictures taken down in Tobay. After some C&C really to aid the ever lasting misson to take better pictures!

Very nice

First one is my fav

sproutpunx · 8 May 2006 at 22:45

Excellent photos, 1st one is my favourite with the dramatic sky! Only thing i think about the 3rd maybe is the sky is a little blown out, and kinda clashes with the border :eek:

Johnny|lucidcomposure · 8 May 2006 at 22:51

Really do admire that 1st one mate. I would be proud to own that.

yak.h'cir · 8 May 2006 at 23:02

Wow! Thank you very much! *feels all embarresed for some reason...

As for the 3rd pic do you reckon this border works better? I think i still prefer the original one...

1 is outstanding from the rest

Er trying to think of the same thing to say but in a fourth way. That really is a stunning pic. It is a stunning pic. First glance I thought the little boat nearest the front was like a little model boat until I saw something in the way. The perspective looks so screwed yet brilliant to me. I look at the boat and presume it is a minature replica until I see the person in the water and suddenly I realise the perspective is wrong and that the boat can actually be sailed in. :eek:

9.5/10 I think. You lost out on the full 10/10 by not including EXIF data in the pics or otherwise communicating to us the camera and lense you use, naughty boy.

Haha! ^I love it!!

Ok, for those who are interested it was taken with my canon 350d and 10-22mm EFS (never leaves my camera, ever!) Pretty sure there was a CP on it too.

Focal:11mm
Shutter:1/60
Ap:f/8.0
ISO 400

CP? What's a CP? /blonde moment

350D eh? Thinking of getting one of them. Have you got a bag for that? Not sure what bag to get or how big a bag needs to be to take a 350D and probably 2 or 3 lenses.

Bluebells · 8 May 2006 at 23:47

Great shots, I like them all, and the black border looks better than the white, well done

CP = Circular Polariser

I've got the Tamrac expedition 4 bag. Its a pretty decent size, with room for a couple of large lenses and then a couple of small ones together with all your other bits and pieces. It's pretty sturdy too. Kept my camera safe and sound whilst snowboarding!

Agreed with all of the above.............That first shot is beautiful

Certainly liking the first shot, technically I doubt that there's any change required. What I would say is if you have the opportunity try and get the same shot without the dingy in the foreground. While it adds some colour and contrast to the current shot I think that without it you would have a stunning shot highlighting the calm and tranquility of the harbour.

aztechnology · 9 May 2006 at 17:26

Have you done any 'shop work on them? as I feel that they Blues and red look a bit too bold for my liking - though I need to look at them on a better monitor than the pile of junk I have here at work.

SCM · 9 May 2006 at 18:39

1 & 2 are very good as the sky really stands out in the pictures.

Number 3 maybe a ND Grad filter would have made the sky look less blown out, as thats the only part of this picture that doesn't work as well compared to the others and the sky in those.

Like this?

yak.h'cir · 9 May 2006 at 19:16

There's a bit of photoshop going on, mainly in blending a couple of exposures. I didnt do anything to make the sail extra bright, that's just the way it was!

I quited like the blown out sky in the 3rd, but i got some grads now so in the future i'll be able to have it both ways from now on!
