Nice tell us more about the photo. Where is it, handheld or tripod. Me gathers the latter as the softness of the water lends to long exposure.

Yes Kipper,

Tripod, around 30 secs. I'll have to check when I get home on the settings I used. Cape Woolamai near Phillip Island in Vic.

A very special spot, an absolute wonderland.
A bit of rock climbing is involved and getting swooped by Mutton Birds by the MoonLight, but all in all a hoot of a time.
It is a bit scary carrying my gear up a rock face under MoonLight.

A little Saturation & Exposure Brightening in PS but that about it.

Glad you like.

Mic. :D

Very nice shot, and the adventure to get there .... I'm getting jealous :mrgreen:

So how is the new lens going? Had a chance to use it for portrait work yet?

Great shot, I love the colours, especially how the sky goes from orange to deep blue... Nice effect with the long exp of the sea, the texture looks almost like a painting!

Pretty good Craig,

Its all pretty heavy with the SB 800 on as well.
I will see how I go after walking around at a Wedding most of the day :roll:

I'll post one of my son tonight when I get home came out very nice at F2.8 no flash.

Cheers,

Mic. :D

Fine art at its best - just one small point the horizon needs a 1.19 degree shift :wink:

Thanks Guys,

Chris, you are spot on, I didn't even notice.

Still room for improvement.

Thanks,

Nice, I like the softness and colours. Other than the horizon, I think that this shot is close to perfect. A real fine art feel to it. Well done.

Cheers

Matt
