Coastal waters

Was out today with my 10 stopper. Bought ages ago but never used much. Till now...

A little playing in Lightroom & Photoshop, mostly Dodging & Burning.

Hope you like them.

Cheers

Very nice set Ali. Particularly like the treatment of number 5 and the foreground detail makes this the stand out shot for me.

Carl

Wow, lovely set. I do like the blur effect and the treatment, especially the first and last shots. Where is this amazing location?

Nice! Is that Lee big stopper?

The last one works bets for me probably because of the stronger foreground adding a bit more interest.

Hi folks

Thanks Carl, I like the lead in lines from the jetty.

Thanks Will, it's a secret location
(don't tell anyone, but it's at St Abbs, on the way to the lighthouse, just north of Eyemouth on the east coast)

Thanks Janis, it's actaully a B&W screw in 10 stopper. A little difficult to compose bit with a bit of squinting I can just manage.

Thanks too Simon.

A big wow from me too. Great shots! I think my fave is the last too - would like to see that one in B/W too. I find the best way to compose pics with a big stopper is to use live view, although I don't know if the K20 has it or not :

Very good shots of a stunning, otherwordly location. I like the third and in particular the last best, although I find the vignette a tad heavy.

Cheers Mat, just toned the stone for something different. K20D does have liveview, never even thought of using that! Will try it next time.

Cheers Adrian, the vignette was nearly all natural, the black clouds were just at the right/wrong place.

Lovely set, that last shot is super.

Very surreal. This filter clearly has great potential.

Thanks for that Stephen and Andrew, will be using it a bit more now.

I actually went there on Thursday, got out the car, cameras out, then...



I discovered I forgot my tripod.

Aarrgghh!

110 mile round trip! Still took some shots mind.
