Sculptured Beach III
« on: August 07, 2014, 05:41:51 pm »

This time looking straight west to the horizon. Took to heart some of the other feedback on II and added a corner burn and brought down the foreground a tiny amount. Thoughts and feedback are welcome.

Canon 6D, Canon 17-40 f/4 L, Formatt-Hitech 6-stop IRND - f/13, 0.8s, ISO 100

This one works very well for me. Nicely seen and rendered.

I've come back to this photograph a couple of times now and am really enjoying it. With such a beautiful image, though, I hate to ask this... Are there any values that are/were or should be near white? I'm just trying to decide whether you have consciously made it about ½ stop on the dim side, because that's what it seems from this end. I get the feeling there should be a near white anchor somewhere (e.g. In the surf to the left of the point), but it doesn't come across that way to me.

I looked at it again. Here is the same with only a white point adjustment.

Now I like the first one better. Maybe split the difference (or judt go back to the first ad it is great!). Sorry for the trouble.

No worries! This is how I learn.

Very nice, Dave. I like discrete corner burns like these that are hardly recognizable as such.

Terry was right -- the second time. The first version is just fine.
(But the experiment was worth trying.)

Very nice, but like Terry I'd like to see a LITTLE white - not as much as presented, though.
