Seacliff

orangepeel · 06-07-2008, 17:47

Went to Seacliff in East Lothian on Friday night. I didn't do anything like the shots I really intended but I did come away with these which where the pic of the bunch. I was going for misty seas but it was far too calm for that - good excuse to go back again some time

1. Coulda Woulda Shoulda
In this one I shoulda got quite a bit lower. Lazyness!

2. Tantallon Castle

3. My Favourite
Some may say this needs rotated. Technically it's doesn't however because of the clouds on the horizon it looks like a small CCW rotation is required. The debate is whether or not you'd correct based on the look of something alone...

All where shot with the siggy 10-20mm and all are +/- 2EV bracketed shots manually blended in Photoshop - I've pretty much given up with HDR software mostly because the results can look artificial but I also prefer having the control to decide exactly the amount of light to give each part of an image.

Third one is a cracker sir. Simply stunning.

I agree its level (after checking) but i would have rotated it very slightly to correct the perceived slight tilt. Horses for courses though

Cracking set of shots.

not much of a flare man but 2 and 3 are very good. number 3 is why I love the sigma 10-20 lens. I love the wide look and you've captured it here with a great mellow mood

Excellent shots

Like the colors and I really like the mist in the water.

LOL @ Fiona

Lovely set OP, with #3 my favourite. Yes I would rotate it a teensy bit, but you knew that

Ye the general wisdom does appear to be to go by the preception

Cracking set of shots OP. Tell what, you keep away from the D200 ... too much competition for us all otherwise

Shame about the CA in the 1st shot which is my fave.
