Description Another photo taken @ Algés - Portugal

Nothing new about this one, and I´m not happy about the sky, because the clouds were shy that day. But the RAW / JPEG conversion resulted on strong colors and a good tonal range between the upper part of the image and the foreground.
Just one more work to my portfolio.

Technique:

- Tripod
- Shutter release cable
- GND4
- Feet wet (:

The sun had already set. Picked my camera and without the tripod I searched for a good angle to shoot. With a wide angle lens is not that difficult. Then, I mounted the tripod with the legs deeply buried on the sand so it didn´t move when the water passed by it. And with the shutter release cable I made about 20 to 30 shots, so I could choose the photo with the best water movement back @ home.

Post-processing:
Raw to Jpeg convertion on Raw Therapee.
PSCS2 Levels, saturation increased by 7%
Manual blending to gain more info on the dark rock on the right, but since the blend wasn´t made bu two different photos but from 2 different Raw exposures, the details are not so great.

Já ontem foi igual... pés totalmente encharcados.. já comprei umas galochas no Aki, mas esqueço-me sempre delas em casa. Têm de ir para o porta bagagens lol..

A foto está simples, e como disse não trás nada de novo.. apenas mais um click para o portofólio

PhilipMatthews In reply to RickyLP [2008-12-10 19:36:03 +0000 UTC]

Thanks so much mate.. I´m experimenting long exposure photos with shorter periods of exposures.. so instead of that known fog effect, we can really see some water movement.

What's impressive about this is that I know how ugly Alges really is
But in all the images you've submitted from here you've made it look really great.
Lovely work Filipe

PhilipMatthews In reply to AndyMumford [2008-12-10 19:33:49 +0000 UTC]

Lol.. indeed it is.. at least for waterscape photography. But with the right angle and simple techniques.. a corner of a polluted beach can appear quite beautiful

Thanks mate.

ntora [2008-12-10 09:08:21 +0000 UTC]

it is the way the white wake puls the eye to the foreground that captivates me in this one.
Wonderful work dear.
Just enough desaturated foreground, just right intensity in the back.
