A drive down the coast

A drive down the coast · 06:16 PM

Took a drive down Hwy 1 today... then back up Hwy 9 and 35

Beautiful blues in the sky - like the first 3.

Love the coastal views and the lighthouse is cool too. Nicely done. Wish I had a nice coastal drive like that, I'd probably ride it often. We do have lakeshore roads along the great lakes but you can only really enjoy them during the summer months.

I really like #2 very nice lines.

I was there (Pigeon Point lighthouse) this past Saturday (on day 7 of an 8 day drive.) The fence was a bummer.

Two suggestions - add an extra space between the photos so they don't blend together, and straighten the horizon on #4 before the LH falls into the ocean :-)

Really love the curve in No2

cheers

That's an amazing colour in the sky. Have you adjusted the contrast in camera? I've often looked at that but haven't been game to change anything yet

Falcons · 09-03-2008, 05:06 AM

Ditto on the colour of the sky.

Thanks for the comments. I had a blast going down the coast and then hitting the twisties coming back up.

I have saturation +1, sharpness +2, and contrast +1.

Interesting the differences between the skies. Uncertain if some PP to make them more consistent would enhance them as a set. Compare #3 to #4 particularly.

Great images, great choice of spot.

gawan · 09-03-2008, 09:23 AM

I like them all, but number #3 appeals to me because of the most natural sky colour! I also has a grat composition. Also ditto what Gary said about #2!

darthku · 09-03-2008, 11:47 AM

I think #3 is my personal fav. The sky is lighter in that one because I decreased the shutter speed so the lady standing wouldn't come out too dark.
