    Shoalhaven Heads

    The problem with this is that there was a very strong reflection from the water to the right of the hill that caused a blow out. Does it spoil the overall effect and is there anything I could do about it? Any other comments welcome.

Actually, I've been thinking along these lines for a while, now, but have been waiting for something green and growing. It's one of the reasons that I wanted the f2.8 for christmas. SO! How did you do this? Please, do tell all.... Obviously, there was observation, good light, ground level but what about post processing, etc.? Thanks!

    Re: first light

    thanks katy
    shot this one with my 50mm 1.4 (love this lens, cheap and gives a awesome bokeh) on 1.4
    I call him first light, but actually it is the last light (sun is going under)

    1. use a low aperture (i use 1.4)
    2. wait for the golden hour (morning or evening)
    3. i use a Angle Finder, so I dont have lie on my belly
    4. for post processing i use some home cooking but most of the time i use alien skin exposure 3

    thats all

    from the same series

    Thanks for sharing - these are gorgeous, too!

    What in the world is "alien skin exposure 3"? Is it like an action?

    My attempts really pale, compared to yours but...here are some of mine. It's funny, the poem says "morning" but these were taken in the evening, too. Also, we didn't really have any flowers, yet - still don't quite.

    sigh. I love bokeh!

    To overcome such problems we can make bracketing or compensate somehow the two lights...
    Usually I compose this kind of frames making a chimp on the histogram and turning to Manual mode.

    Re: first light

    Nice images Vandenberg
    Now, we may begin to talk about a style: Vandenberg's style.
    Be aware however as a true style is to be unique. And that is really difficult

    It means, if you share all your secrets everybody will be able to do it.
    Well, not exactly as there is always room for changes
    But even so, if you are recognized as Artist then it is success.

    But it seems you have your own way to frame your subjects. Good.
    Let me help a bit our dear Katy: alien is a plug in for CS5 with great results.
    I have it in trial period and it does nothing more - and this is already very good - than apply certain presets. Many many can be applied with different and striking results. A bit expensive perhaps.
    A visit to their page is worth the visit Katy

    Picked up the camera after a long spell of nothing-ness.

    (Having a 4 or 5 month gap where I took next to no pictures was actually kind of beneficial, I feel a lot happier with the pictures I'm taking and I'm putting more thought into what I'm actually doing.)

    Re: Shoalhaver Heads

    Thank you Antonio for your comments

    I did think about HDR (after the event) if that is what you meant by bracketing, but in this case I suspect that the required dynamic range was so great that even this would be a problem. I have never tried HDR so I may be quite wrong here. There was also some blow out of the sky, but I was able to recover this in ACR.

    Thank you for posting here David
    Your photo is nice but perhaps you could be a little more careful about the composition...
    I can remember that you posted here 3 photos before editing and this was the last one. Am I wrong ?
    I remember the first one was good. Can you post it again please ?
    Thank you

    Very very simple Antonio, In Photoshop > IMAGE > ADJUSTMENT > SHADOW/HIGHLIGHT Move Shadow Amount slider Left to 10 % and HIGH LIGHT AMOUNT Slider to 90 % and your picture is done. Is it not simple

    As usual, I would like more leaves in the upper foreground and more tree on the left to give more depth of field to the scene
