It's incredible how you caught the texture of the sand and every single fizz of those waves. Did you add the lighting effect? Because that's a very nice touch. This goes up there with my favorite photos ever!

Ohh this one took some special editing techniques.. well, just because I tried some new things with it. Definitely some lighting edits using curve. Curve is my number one most used ps tool, hands down. Anyhow, thank you very much! It's great to know you enjoyed this one so much.

Mm m, eye candy I say. The waves look like they were painted, very nice. The whole photo is very calming, with it's peaceful colors and serene scenery.

Watching the artist...contemplating the world? Heh, or better, taking a vacation lying in the sand I like the way you've gotten such depth into the image. Starting from your legs which are closest to the viewer, then to the sand and to the vast sea with those far off peaks in the horizon.

Only thing that bothers me a bit, is that bright spot on your right ankle.

Nice!

(this was taken with that film camera of your's right? Hmm, negative scans, so you colored this digitally then? )

niimo In reply to Neukku [2006-05-14 06:23:17 +0000 UTC]

Thanks so much! Capitalization is intentional here.. So, watching the "Artist" is the artist of those waves, the colors, the mountains--the unseen Artist.

Yes, shot with film. nevermind the neg scan bit, it only seems to be confusing everyone so I deleted that.

what the heck am I saying...of course this was "colored" digitally... a negative has inverted colors anyway so inverting them on the computer is necessary. Geez, sorry for that

There is always a certain thrill in watching the waves wash ashore and lying just close enough to them to see if the next swash will actually be able to reach you. And here you've captured, among many other things, the game of tag Man has been playing with the ocean since goodness knows when.

Hey I didn't notice that view of it, good stuff! Hahaa it's so funny when you are sitting there and the wave are just lightly lapping up on your legs then suddenly there is a swell and a big big one rolls in *SPLOOSH!!* knocks you on your back! Thanks Leigh!

Heckof nice as always, man!
That reminds me- have you bothered investing in any camera housings?? (I've been considering it for a while...as just another way to kill some time I guess)

niimo In reply to missingleftover [2006-05-12 02:31:36 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! Well since up until several weeks ago I did not actually own a camera, no, I haven't. Plus I am not really interested in shooting in the water yet. I'm not much of an ocean person anyhow. I'd rather invest into a telephoto lens to capture the action rather then housing.
