Reading mode: Light Dark

North Yorkshire - England

Very nice Mark. The best of the bunch for me are #2 & #3. The subtle lighting on the piece of wrecked ship is just at the right level. Most impressed. How was the wind in Yorkshire? It was aimed at us at first but at the last minute it moved south and we dodged the bullet.

Very impressive shots, thx for sharing...
 
Would you mind explaining how you did the lighthing on the front of the old boat in #2. Very well Done

Thank you Tom :)

This was one of my first attempts at light painting.
And I don't really know how to do it.
I took maybe 2 or 3 ambient shots at different exposures, aperture priority f16

Then took some more using the flash (SB900), with me holding the flash near to the boat (obviously firing remotely), P setting f4.
Then I blend all the shots together in Ps.

I like this shot more, but no one else does.

I fired the flash on both sides of the boat on that shot.

All are good. But the first two are incredible. Nicely done. Thanks for posting.

You inspired me today!

Do you often employ the "blending" technique - for the interiors as well? I'm wondering how that works compared to using Photomatix for HDR. I haven't done either, but the dynamic range in your photo's is great. It looks natural!

By the way, what kind of tripod/head do you use?

I pretty much want to know everything you do :)
 
Well done Mark.Just that shot alone of the abandoned craft has tremendous emotional impact.You leave me fleeing to my map to see exactly how far north Yorkshire is located.Cheers and thanks again. Alan New Mexico USA location a bit South of Yorkshire.
 
Yes, I use the blending technique all the time.
The first shot above is a blend of 4 exposures, it takes time to PP.

The average time is 1 hour, but I think I can get better results than HDR, which always seem to look muddy and lack clarity.
The tree shot was probably 2 or 3 exposures.

I use a Manfrotto 055MF3 tripod and Manfrotto 804RC2 pan & tilt head.

The head doesn't allow you to point the camera straight up (for taking ceilings), but I mount the camera the wrong way around i.e. the lens facing the main tilt handle, I can then point it up.

If I can help further, please let me know.
