Winters day along the Great Ocean Road

[TidaLpHasE]

:)Hi all, i took a drive along the Great Ocean Road on Sunday afternoon to see if i could get a few happy snaps of the coastline.

I managed a few shots of the ocean, and captured the movement in the water i have been trying to get for some time.

I took this pic in the fading light of dusk, ISO 100 f/7.1
30 seconds with the 10-22mm @ 12mm.

I have a few more that i am processing and will post them when they are done.

Thanks to Mike, who gave me the tips on how to do borders:thumbsup:

Beautiful images Trev, they're awesome. My favourite is the first one.

I'm very jealous that you have such a lovely scenery so close to you, to be able to photograph regularly.

Nice shots.

Trevor,

Absolutely stunning images, man. You always post quality material and it's always a pleasure to see them.

I love them all, but, the first one is a pearler.

Regards,
Humayun

Very nice shots Trevor! :thumbsup: Makes me feel cold just looking at them (I assure you I am inside and quite cosy!:P ).

It's one thing to take a sharp shot, something else again to take a sharp, well composed shot... but it is really something to be able to take photo that conveys a feeling / emotion / mood. These images have a great "feeling" of winter on the coast.

Well done!

Quite marvellous images, Trevor. Thanks for posting them.

Would you object if I 'stole' one and e-mailed it to my son (with acknowledgement and link back to this thread of course)?

Awesome shots Trevor, as everyone said, always look forward to your photos.
That 10-22mm is such a great lens too.
All images are great, especially the first one.

Well done.

btw Trev, did you use a blue filter, or was the colour tint introduced during post processing?

:)Thanks for the nice comments, much appreciated.

Mike, yes i am only an hour or so away from this awsome sight, it does have a certain kind of magic to it.

Thanks Humayun, you obviously didn't see some of my first astro stuff:doh:

Glad you are inside and warm sheeny, i was standing outside yesterday in the wind and rain exposing these images, while people driving past must have been thiking, is this guy feeling o.k.:screwy:lol

Dujon, no problem at all, happy for you to, as long as you don't start making mega $$ on the side:D

Thanks RB, yes the 10-22 has its place on the 350 most times when i am out with it, it's a great lens.

Mike, the color is natural, as with a completely overcast sky, a general blue cast is obtained especially on water or in the mountains, as outdoor shadows are nearly always blue. I read that somewhere;)
I only did slight adjustment in pscs2, i need to use an 81a light balancing filter to reduce the blueish hue.

This is another image from yesterday, 350d 10-22mm @10mm f/22 3.2 seconds ISO800.

Converted and desaturated in RawShooterEssentials, i kind of like the black and white look.

Thanks again.
Trevor.....

:thumbsup: Wow stunning images

Very nice Trev! Glad to see someone else using RawShooter.. it's a great program. Pixmantec have just been bought by Adobe, so I don't know if they're still selling RawShooterPremium anymore as teh technology is going into a new Adobe product "LightRoom" in the future.

RawShooterPremium is twice as good as RawShooterEssentials and worth getting if you still can. Can crop, rotate, adjust curves and colour, etc.

Thanks for your permission, Trevor.

Talking about the $$, I reckon you might make a few yourself from images like that (if you already don't).
