Ah Louis,

I really like your photographs and usually what you write
But "my bad"?
Your bad what? Huh?
I know everyone is saying it tgese days but
where does this "my bad" come from?
Who is to blame? What was wrong with "my mistake" or
"my fault"?

Grrrr. You'll be writing "lense" next.

A lot of 'em are 7mm. Can't go wider

Some really nice pics - the only thing missing (for me) is the lack of a wider lens being used, most of them are crying out for a wider angle view (or maybe even just a crop to 16:9) - note this is my subjective opinion, before anyone jumps on it!

All are excelent - but that last one was masterfull - up there with the best photos I have ever seen!

You have grate skill with many F.L.s and angles!

 

[Louis_Dobson]

Thank you!

The one with the stack isolated (ie very long exposure) is GH2. I've been using MFT for snaps for a couple of years, then I grabbed this shot below almost by accident while shooting with Nikon FF and decided the stuff was mature enough to take seriously, picked up the GH2, 12 and 45 late last year, and moved over to MFT altogether about a month ago.

So most of the shots were either FT or Nikon FF.

Nice set, of a quality seldomly seen in this section of the forum.

Just wondering: were these shot with M43?

Well I suppose you could have used a fisheye lens but I take your point ;-)

It must be the aspect ratio that's fooling my eyes (I normally use 16:9 for wider shots and guess I'm used to equating it with wide vistas!)

Following on from what AdventSam asked, some shots showing how you can treat the sea. NDs extensively used.

Nice set louis!

That first one, looks sooo familiar, did you take a similar picture several years back, and post it maybe on the Oly or Panasonic forum?

Thanks!

Yes, only one of these is new - the shot of the rock with totally still water. Sam asked why I did that, so I thought I would do what I hope is an ideas-giving thread on controlling wave movement.

Apart from most of them making me sickeningly jealous, I really like these pix (except the first which does nothing for me). The 3 second one with the single rock (the first of the two of that rock), which we saw the other day, is my hands down favorite, though. A lovely picture.

Cheers, geoff

Beautiful work Louis. Love to chat sometime about your technique and PP work. I find the last shot really striking.

I need TP for my BungHole

Thanks you, most kind! Funny how we all like different things, the first is still my fave - although I need to go back and re-process it now lightroom can manage the E3 colours!

Thanks Bob! No, I only switched to MFT full time in late Jan, so most are FT with a Nikon FF thrown in. The point of the exercise was to demonstrate different ways of handling sea movement...

You may well be right about the dodgy burn, I'll take a look. On the other hand it may well be me - sun directly behind and no way round that except to take myself out later...

Interesting ways to convey the drama of sea's edge.

I think the first and last are the most profound, with a lot to like in between.

On that shot you double posted - I'm just a little distracted with some shadow along the breaker line. At first I thought it might be your shadow, but then I think it's a bit of a hand to brushing in a burn. ???

Are these all with the GH2?

The more I look it could be shadow of the land if the sun is at your back left shoulder (definitely maybe). Just curious is all.

They are beautiful photos, especially the last one.

I don't know if it's rude to ask but how do you get such wonderful colours? Is it just the use of ND filters or is it done in post or some other magical way?

 

[Louis_Dobson]

Not rude at all, thank you! Sadly, it isn't really down to me. Welcome to the Algarve light.

Oh yes, I think you are right. I was hitting the button on self timer and then crouching
