Life with Jordy's photostream

Yesterday I was chomping at the bit to get out to Redhead at Sunset but, when I arrived I was very disappointed! There was this cloud band covering the Sun & it did not appear as if it would dissapate. I figured that I may as well wait it out and see what the outcome was. So glad I did! It was one of the most awesome Sunsets I have seen in ages; the fiery sky reflected off the wet sand was a truly awesome backdrop for beach walkers. Sometimes ya just gotta hang around and wait!

So very happy with the outcome of my Photo Safari to Redhead Beach yesterday.

I did a little experimenting with this photo. Original in RAW format I changed the exposure details in the RAW organiser in PSE and then merged them as sort of a fake HDR. It hasn't turned out 'too bad', but I think 3 original separate exposures may have worked out better. Hhmmmm..more experimenting to take place I think!

I liked all the angles here and the way the shadows fell. Taken with my wide angle lens, hence the slight bend on some parts.

Boat harbours are a great place for a photographer to hang out! Ropes hanging everywhere, old tyres on wharfs for buffers, sea birds. There is a great atmosphere surrounding a boat harbour; travel, the sea, adventure....I wanna buy a boat! I love how this photo has turned out. It was sitting in its folder and I hadn't really played with it since it was taken. If there is one thing I have learned from this photo; make notes on workflow! I played with this for some time before it reached this look and I am damned if I can remember what it was that I did to get it looking like this!
