My Norfolk Holiday
Aug 16, 2014 17:00:36 #
It's the first time I have taken my "good" camera on holiday with me this year as I have young boys and sometimes it is a bind to carry about, what with all their stuff too. I went with my parents so was able to steal a bit of "me" time and have a play! I hope you like them

Not the clearest but I liked the different colours

Very nice set, CJ. I really like #5 and you can just clone that strand of grass out easily in PP. Nice job. :thumbup:

Sorry, CJ, that's just the acronym for "Post Processing". You can find a listing here: http://www.uglyhedgehog.com/t-26493-1.html that may help you in the future.
I am assuming you are talking about that blade of grass in the lower left corner, so I took the liberty of removing it for you. I hope you don't mind. You know, photography etiquette.

Thank you so much for doing that for me, I don't mind at all. And thanks for the link I will have a look at it and hopefully learn something! It was very kind of you :thumbup:

[quote=Cj tuck] You have a great collection and a good eye. Most of these captures would look better to me if you cropped in closer. A lot of sky and water not needed. David

Great shots - worth pointing out that in pic 4 the squiggles on the horizon are wind turbines not your lens.
cropping sometimes helps, but it can also bring you 'closer in' so that you lose the feeling of isolation or distance. A case of try and see on a copy - not the original. In my view your original pic 4 is better than the cropped version as that width of sea in the foreground gives you the feel of the ship being distant and 'leaving' rather than merely 'passing'. That gives a picture more impact.
Think of a title for your pictures as you think about altering what you took or even before you take them. its a great way of making your mind up as to what to include and where your standpoint should be.
final comment: use your iphone or keep a point and shoot in your handbag....your kids will do the wildest things when you can't photograph them!!
