Davenport

Incredible!

This is you! :)

Dreamy

Davenport by ec808x.

Davenport Beach. Many cases of beer, bonfires, and long discussions with friends regarding "the meaning of life" here in my teenage days.

mona, eh says:

The red glow is a little choppy and could be blend in better. But I love the composition, the colors are memorizing and the lighting on the waves are gorgeous.

$$$ Shot ;)

ec808x says:

Thanks, Webel Photography, mona, eh and Ken!

mona, yeah! I noticed the rough blending, too. Even though it's not apparent, there was a slight mist to the air. That might explain the light's behavior. I'll see about reprocessing later.

ec808x says:

Thanks, all, for the comments and for the notes. I am loving all of this moonlight we're getting, makes me want to go out and shoot every night.

Bob, are we still good for HMB? The tides are going to be at their highest. That should make for some interesting mist/fog.

That is a good crop, Erik D! Thanks. Htrm has a good point, too. That's the reason I left the shadow in the shot.

Unworldly - sweet color range and water movement.
Posted 44 months ago. ( permalink )

ec808x says:

Thanks, judyboy. It's so much easier to shoot with all of this light.

Hey, with the moon approaching full, I'm suprised I haven't seen anything from your RI group yet.

Thanks, Jack. Sweet! I've been browsing your stream. Really good stuff! I can't wait to see more of it.

...you're also driving one of my dream cars.

Fantastic... and love the glowing pile of gold against the midnight sky
Posted 44 months ago. ( permalink )

ec808x says:

Thank you for the kind comments (and exclamations), everyone!

johnhmai, that's a awesome comment for the wannabe to see. Thanks.

j-a-x, I'm still hoping for a nighttime HDR every time I visit your stream.

EriK D, That'll work, too. ;-)

JohnnyRR, I just couldn't ignore the bubble of sodium vapours against the natural lighting.

Thanks for the visit, Kevin, Alexandre, and T.Bease!

T.Bease, most of this is location. I think I'm going to run out of good local ones, soon. Then I'll have to do real photography. Yikes!

Extra Medium says:

You take yourself some good night time shots. Cool idea to head up the coast to take these.
Posted 44 months ago. ( permalink )

ec808x says:

Thanks, John. It's taken me almost a year to figure out how cameras work. Now that I have somewhat of a clue, it's all about getting out there. I'm so glad I live near the coast, too. There's so much to shoot here.

Wilmac and Gronson, thanks for dropping by and thanks for the comments. Gronson, you should get one, they're really inexpensive for what you'd be getting. It's the lenses that will empty your pockets.

christopherdale says:

Oh that's it, this is ridiculously good. I give up. There's no way I'll ever do work like this. PHENOMENAL, particularly given how hard it is to get all the different elements right, as you have here. (Shakes head in awe.)
Posted 38 months ago. ( permalink )

ec808x says:

Don't say that, man. It's no good to set limits. This should be but a speed bump on your way to being a good photographer. ;-)
Posted 38 months ago. ( permalink )

christopherdale says:

Ha, my "giving up" was meant to convey just how fantastic this shot is. I won't give up--but expect you to teach me some technique and spots if I end up working in Palo Alto this summer (as I've been planning). :)

Fantastic. I'm surprised how much the stars moved in 126 Sec (just over 2 minutes)

The ocean looks very cool. Great work.
I hope it brought back many plesant memories.
