Hi Spike, are you talking about my first photo, posted on page 1? Or someone else's? We're up to nine pages in this thread

I do know what you mean about little niggling irritations such as sloping horizon lines!


This is another example of a long exposure photo. (six seconds). It was taken in the middle of the day with a 10stop filter. Six seconds gives a nice blur to the surf; but it does not flatten it out completely. So you have some texture in the ocean which which works well with this structure going out into the ocean. The biggest problem I had with this photo was the foreground. Without something to anchor the foreground, this photo would be pretty dull. The problem was that the shadows were very dark. I had to do a lot of playing around to get sharp, well exposed detail without adding too many artifacts.

I noticed, reading the previous pages, that there are a lot of different interpretations of your original idea. I think this fits what you had in mind.

I think your images fit perfectly into this concept. You used a mixture of creative capture and deliberate processing steps to make an image that is more than what you saw but instead is what you felt and interpreted about what you saw. That is the magic of using these tools for artistic purposes. The images are interesting and well done. I love what you are doing with moving water, something I’d like to spend more time with if I had more opportunities for it. I’m intrigued with what can be done with waves, and with tumbling streams and waterfalls.

Erich I do like your treatment of water, it so extends the value of the image. Thanks RBorud

Since you say you did do a good bit of manipulation, it would be nice to see your SOOC starting point next to them just for the educational value. But they are very nice and make me want to get out and try it.
