Description Here you can get a much better view of the mountains you always see on the horizon of 90% of my coastal shots. It's the Cape Peninsula. On the far right you see Table Mountain from the side, and on the left you see the very point of the peninsula...In case your wondering, it's not the southern tip of Africa. The tip is about 350km to the East at Cape Agulhas.

Don't let the wave patterns of the swell confuse your eyes. The horizon is perfectly level.

yeah, stuff like this is great. I can tell you have a tight grasp on composition and colors. I really like how the V shape at the rocks on the bottom really brings your eyes up into the plane, and the moving clouds bring you back down.

looks like pp caused a little image degradation where the orange sky meets the upper clouds?

hougaard In reply to icondigital [2008-09-08 06:30:36 +0000 UTC]

yip...I'm still learning about capturing and processing red skies.I think this is where a better camera starts playing a role, the high end cam's like the 1D have better dynamic range. Think that would help
