Seacape w/ bird island and rocks · **1 Like**

Hello there.

Caught this on a photo excursion with some friends three days ago

Shot captured here in Andøy.
You see the bird island "Bleiksøya" in the background.

Tripod, Bulb (51 seconds shutter), f/22 and ISO100.

NIce effect on the water and rocks with the long exposure. Great photo, well taken. Thanks for sharing.

Very impressive - and beautifully done.

Oh heck yes I do! It`s just wonderful. My most expensive and luckily most used lens that I achieve the best results with, in general...

Great use of a slow shutter speed. The foreground is really, really wonderful. I would be tempted to crop the island from the background but either way, it is a fantastic shot.

Excellent -- somehow the blurred water gives a foreshortening effect.

charliezap · 08-31-2012, 07:29 AM

A very well done shot Tommy.The only thing that I might have done would be to tone down the bright sky in the background.--charliezap

I think the perspective with the island present, is stronger than without. Alone it`s just a little dull... Thanks, anyway

Thank you! I agree with the foreshortening, that`s what struck me at once when I saw the result on the screen of the camera`s back side

Thanks a lot Charliezap

I`ve already used a filter to tone down the island and the skies so that nothing`s over exposed. However, I saw it looked more and more unnatural as I tried to tone down the skies even more...
I appreciate your comment and believe me, I`ve tried what you suggest.

I played with it in Picasa and here's what I came up with Tommy.Maybe I should have let it be.

By all means, do not remove it.
However, i see a loooot of grain in the skies now. That bugs me

Thank you so much, Norbert

I just peeked at the jpg-version on the camera`s screen just now and it struck me how similar the versions (edited in LR4) were! I love my cameras!
