A few sea shore landscapes from this morning

[Steve Randles]

I think from memory (and I know he'll correct me if I'm wrong) Den does not like these blurred water shots period, he prefers it "natural" looking, which is fair enough. You either love them or hate them.

 

Steve...

Definatly in the "Love them" category.

 

That was partially the effect i was wanting with eels bridge in the bridge comp.

 

For me, these are truly stunning shots.

 

I assume from the choice of camera and the manner in which they are presented, that you do this professionally?

Nah, just a very keen amateur!! I have been taking pics for the best part of 14 years though and I'm still learning all the time!

 

I get paid far too much in my day job to consider giving it up and doing photography full time. At the moment it's a nice little sideline which gives me a bit of extra pocket money too.

Got up at the crack of dawn to try for some landscapes before the rain and bad weather forcasted rolls in.....

 

 

I hope I'm doing this properly as new to this site. Had to comment on these shots. Very attractive and great use of the NDs to get that blurred water effect. The ND grad has given a lovey balance between the foreground and the sky. Everything looks well controlled with exposure spot on. These should sell very well. Look forward to seeing more like this.

Chippy, I hope you weren't offended by my comments, as Steve rightly says, I don't like "silky" water

Many thanks Newt. I also posted a comment last night agreeing that Warehouse Express are a company worth using - but I dont know where that one has gone.

Superb shots Chippy - really liked them ... all worked out great, the effects, the framing, exposure levels. Well done !!!!!

 

ND Grad is my favourite filter, when setting up proper shots I tend to prefer the results with it much more than results from my Polarizer, great for giving Scottish grey skys more zip.

 

Again, great shots.

I had a little fiddle with pic no 1. I tried to recapture the sea , best I could do, amazed at the detail hidden in the cliffs.

I like the extra DR you've done on the cliffs, but think it's been oversharpened far to much.

 

Still like the sea the way it was
