Description I don´t have much free time now, but I try to grab my camera at the weekends and explore my nearby area.

This one brings nothing new to what you have seen from me, but the sky was so beautiful that I had to stay there a bit and get myself wet a couple of times.

One thing I´ve learn doing this kind of photography is that is always good to protect your camera from the weather conditions and the sea water. I´ve wrapped my camera and lens with a transparent plastic bag, the ones that come with some magazines. This way, and with a UV protection filter, my camera and my sigma are always protected, from rain, sea water, sand etc etc.

I used a GND8 from cokin p series and a normal ND4. Both held by hand because I ordered the wrong filter holder adapter from ebay (72mm instead of 77 for my 10-20). I´m waiting for the right one to come.

I could have given a better post treatment to this one, because the middle is too bright and there are some water drops in the UV filter that appear on the photo... but I don´t have too much patience right now... Don´t know if it´s the cold weather, but I´m too lazy today

Canon EOS 350D
Sigma 10-20
10mm focal length
Exposure time: 2.5"
F number: 22
ISO:100
Shot in RAW, converted to JPEG on canon software

Another wow. The smooth rocks with the sky is incredible. Just try and double process the raw file to get the middle less hot and blend back in

The lighting and the water are wonderful...I love the smooth stones!

How do you keep the plastic bag from marring the shot, though? It seems like it'd obscure the lens a bit.

There's just enough warm color in it to give it a joyous feeling, like if the sun is about to come out and warm you all over

Perfect composition.
