Sunset at Long Jetty

[iceman]

First time I've had a chance to do some photography for a while..

Took the family out for dinner on Saturday night and ended up on the edge of the lake at Long Jetty.. No pelicans, Tony would be proud of me ;)

Canon 350D + 17-70 sigma. Wind was blowing a gale unfortunately - was hoping for a smooth mirror like water surface but no chance of that.

Have some others from a bit later on coming soon too.

Didn't spend much time in post-processing - a bit of horizon straightening, saturation boost and resize/sharpen for web.

A beautiful series Mike. :)Looks like a great spot.

I love the second one with the seagulls along the rail and the defocussed background and the sunsets with orb in sky are fantastic:thumbsup:

Hey great to see some terrestrial shots from you again Mike.

I agree with Rob, I love #2, beautiful shallow DOF.
Lovely shots mate.

:thumbsup:

Thanks guys - I'm happy with #2 as well. It was nice to be out shooting with the camera again.

Great shots Mike. Is that halo around the Sun an artifact from compression?

Numbers 4 and 5 float my boat Mike, especially #4, the seagull seems to just add something to it. :thumbsup:

I like the 2nd and 4th one Mike and thank you re Pelicans.

The depth of field on the second image really jumps out.
