4 sunsets

[armando_m]

We had a long weekend and spent it at the beach

1. A beach for myself, it was cool (like under 20C ) and windy


2. big log, wouldn't move regardless of the tide - yeah he horizon is too centered


3. unheated pool, always like a mirror

the heated pool fill with kids during the day

4. wet sand reflections


nd8 graduated filter used on 1 and 4

thanks for watching

Very nice photos! I especially like number one with the umbrellas. On my monitor it almost looks 3D. I would definitely have a framed enlargement of this one on the wall, Jeff

Thanks all for the comments

I really like the easiness to get powerful images using the wide angle lens, and the amazing DOF even when used at f2.8 which i used on #1 to get a fast enough shooter speed as it was handheld, F4 on the others and F8 on the pool reflection

The image with the log had a crooked horizon, and it got a bit elaborated to correct, the default rotation tool was eliminating part of the log, so i had to do the crop by hand and clone the area of empty space left by the crop

All were originally shot in VIVID mode, I had to back up the saturation and contrast to get more credible colors
