Heading home

I really like this one.

the colours are certainly beautiful but also the balance of the features - the canoe and the rainbow.

One issue though - I would have liked to have seen a shot with more focus on the canoe.

good shooting.

cheers

This isn't the typical rainbow shot. Its also nice to see one that isn't the product of Photoshop.

Thanks Jason and John for your comments, I appreciate them.

 

John, glad you appreciate the lack of post processing on this one, believe me, the sky was quite extraordinary and any post-processing I might have done would not have been able to compete with the actual scene.

 

Jason, I take your point on this and I too would have liked sharper focus, however the light just wasn't up to it (at least not at my skill level). This was shot with the lens wide open at 1/13th second shutter speed so my depth of field was not going to be great and I was going to at least get motion blur on the boat and possibly too blurred a background if I had focused on the boat. I would very much appreciate advice on how I might have achieved it though.

 

Thanks again

Mark, wonderfull shot. Maybe you could have adjusted the (film)sensitivity to 400 or 800 asa? A portion of unsharpmasking in PS helps. (tried it with quite a lot for the large sized PN version , 200% at radius 2.0)

Thanks Hans for your suggestion which I will surely try out.

this here looks really great...there are also several good shots in your portfolio..

 

i like that :)

thought it might be a bit too large..but thats okay with me..

 

anyways..

keep up the good work

all the best!

 

Thanks for dropping by Norbert and thanks for leaving a comment. I don't quite understand it but this is my highest rated and highest viewed image and I never even put it up for critique. Funny old world!

okay..i see..i made you have 10 ratings on this one here:)..its really cool..also the framing works very well..maybe it would have helped to see the guy in the boat a bit easylier(that right?-the word easylier..i dont know :/ )..as a thumbnail you cannot see this guy..hes too dark..so if there was some light on him it would have been great..

 

 

" This was shot with the lens wide open at 1/13th second shutter speed so my depth of field was not going to be great and I was going to at least get motion blur on the boat and possibly too blurred a background if I had focused on the boat"

 

 

hmm..by using a tripod there wouldnt have been any problem about the background beeing blurred..it really depends on how fast the guy in the boat was going..swimming whatever..you said the time..but what about the blend then..whats your largest blend available..2 or 3,5 i guess...what did you use...i just dont know what blend you were using but if you chose one about 8 (or the camera did so) you could have stept lower..to 2 or 3,5 or how low you might get..then the time would have been shorter and the boat would have been less blurred....high shutter speed--->less motion

 

 

hmmm..thats all :)

byebye

 

 

Thanks again Norbert. Actually it was all rather dark and trying to get the exposure and the DOF ,meant I didn't have the shutter speed I'd have liked. The boat was moving gently but fast enough. I didn't even think of raising the ISO which would have solved my problem. Didn't have time to get the tripod out of the car. The scene lasted about three or four minutes after I arrived. Never mind :)

the iso...hehe...i always forget this too haha..okay..i see..but raising the iso will make you get a grainy picture..okay..im out

see you around !

exceptional capture - beautifully done

THanks again D F. I couldn't quite get the composition I wanted on this shot. The canoe isn't quite in the right place for my liking but I appreciate your stopping by to comment.

Another shot I've have had on PN for a while but neglected to put up

for critique. I feel I should have raised the iso here to have been

able to get the canoe sharper but maybe the movement of the canoe is

not a bad thing. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

This is my favorite one in your portfolio, but I'm partial to rainbows! I don't mind that the guy in the canoe is dark, because my focus is on the rainbow. Very unique for a rainbow (although I don't care much about uniqueness either). I also love your duck on the lake photo, and the "string" series!

Hei p堤eg!
