This is the SS Dickey which is at a beach where I live. Have been getting up each morning at sunrise to take photos of her. If the tides are right and the sunrise is colorful it can be a magic shot.
I feel that the lack of sharpness may have hurt this one in an expert editing challenge. I have found that it helps a lot to resize in 500 pixel steps, sharpening before the first and after the last step down in size.
Beautiful scene and great colors. I would get up before dawn to go see it. It would be interesting to see more history about the vessel.
A gradient neutral density can be used when shooting to help with the bright spot in the sky by slanting it with the dark part into the bright part of a scene like this.
You may already know both tricks, but I wanted to share the info. Many of your images are just excellent.
Lovely photo, but as everyone also says, the NR is a bit too strong, and has made it fuzzy. Sweet colours though. Dicky Beach is a bit far from my place to get up 2 hours before sunrise for a shot like this, so thanks for sharing it. :)
Ramblin,
looks like an amazing location. :) I think the "blurriness" is the result of the slow shutter speed you are using to capture the foreground details in lowlight. I hope you plan to share some more of your photos of this. hope your travels to the United States are going well.
Nice subjet and capture. I'd like to see a little more context - a little more negtive space on the right. I also find the sunset oversaturated, it's causing some weirdness in the clouds near the horizon.
The compostion is good, but I dont know if it was intentionally but the burned out clouds and oversaturated blue and yellow are draging it down. Good luck on future challenges.
