Robin Hood's Bay, after the storm

Go to last post
Very pretty. I like the BIFs, nice job. How much damage did you have?
 
These are some very nicely composed images! Very well done!
 
Hi mate a nice collection of images, although your idea of tropical is a lot different to mine :-)

Regards.

Stephen.
 
The imags are beautiful, but the clouds are burned in white (just concstructive critic).

DRO settings are magic for that thing.
 
Thanks, though they're not proper BIFs but they were my first attempt so I like them anyway.

Sadly a yachtsman was killed and we had the usual damage, but nothing compared to what you get on the other side of the pond. Winds were not quite as bad as expected but the rain was worse, the wettest day this year which is saying something for the UK, with flash floods in many places. The weather system then parked itself off Scandinavia, as they frequently do, but it's now coming back down this weekend for another go!
 
Thanks for the kind words, ottonis. I try to compose carefully but admit that the third photo was pure luck, as I was trying to focus on the flying seagull but captured the lady feeding the other cheeky one, but I'll take it anyway. ;-)
 
Cheers for the comment Stephen, though it was a little tongue in cheek. After struggling up that hill I had a last look out to sea, which was even more blue, so had to have another shot. Whilst taking it I was reminded of my days in the Merchant Navy and tropical climes, including your neck of the woods, over forty years ago (eek). Maybe lack of oxygen, or fading memory, or whatever but it still looks slightly tropical to me. :-D
 
Helena, thanks for the comment and constructive criticism. I've not come across the phrase 'clouds burned in white' and can find nothing on line about it. How would you avoid it when faced with such a view to photograph, shooting only jpeg as I do at the moment and using auto DRO, apart from using RAW. Please supply some more info, thanks.

Oh, sorry for my english, I undestand it very well, but it is difficult for me to make phrases.

I referred to "burned clouds" for: the clouds should have several shades of white, but it shows that some have been eliminated ...

What I usually do is adjust the exposition to the brighter areas of the photo, and then compensate the darkest areas with a DRO of 4 or plus. When a photo have very different areas, I use in-camera HDR.

A example of "bad" exposition:

And now an example of a good exposition in extreme light conditions:

I hope I have been helpful :)
 
That's interesting info and I will give it a try soon.

Muchas gracias Helena, agradezco su ayuda. :-)
