Title: The steady one
Post by: armand on March 26, 2011, 08:07:09 pm: from my Everglades/Tampa shots.

PS. Just in case there will be questions I didn't touch the color (no vibrance or saturation)

I like it, too.

PS: I really wish you'd get rid of the animation you use for an avatar. I do appreciate the reference to Sisyphus but I find the movement very distracting.

Happy now? ;D I'm usually far less amenable to critique (especially as I'm using this avatar on a different forum for 8 years) but I realize that this is a photography forum and it can be distracting.

I have few other versions of this shot, as initially I was aiming for ghosts only on the beach, but this appeals to me more than the others. Here is an example of the other versions.

Thank you, Sir!

I prefer the first one. The problem with making the ghosts too faint is that they look messy rather than intentional.

Post by: armand on March 28, 2011, 07:37:07 pm: Yes, I also prefer the first one. As I said although I was looking for the second version the camera display was good enough to convince me otherwise, so I started to hunt for groups that were taking their time on the beach and not just walking. Most of them had a photographer in the group that was moving the least, as in the first shot that I posted.
