Description I fought and fought to get a better composition from this angle but the huge rock / cliff on my right prevented it so in the end I had to settle for this.

Enjoy

I for one really love the composition mate. I like the giant green stone in the almost center towards the bottom, and the rock on the right that kind of looks like a ship sinking to the bottom of the ocean.

I think I recognise the rock on the right from your previous photograph. The composition isn't incredibly, but works fine I think. It's beautiful to see some of the pebbles in the water.
My only point of critique could be (I haven't been there, it's just something in my mind) that a bit of a lower angle would put more focus on the curve the beach discribes. But again I haven't been on the location. You know it best.

yeah lower angles i always go for so was trying somthing a bit different with this one as I couldn't get the composition I wanted. I wanted to keep the right hand rocks and have them on the third, but i couldn't because immediatly behind me on my right was an enormous rock that just blocked too much of the frame. I didn't just want to have pebbles as the left side of the shore was so mind numbingly boring and messy with rocks so sort of went half and half.

The green on the rock in the front is so nice!

Do you use a filter also for the colors btw?

Neutron2K In reply to CanvasOfLight [2008-09-22 10:23:15 +0000 UTC]

nope. I only use ND and ND Grad filters. Never any other with the exception of the occasional poloriser.

I don't see the point in using colour filters when they can be applied digitall later on - its extra pieces of plastic / glass in front of the lens that can hinder image quality. I don't like modifying my colours very much either. I like things 'natural'

I agree with you, I just have ND filters and polarizers for my lens. The rest can be done digitally..

But I was just curious as I have seen many photographers use a magenta filter for sunsets.

Thanks for the reply!
