Posted: Sun Jun 18, 2006 10:10 pmGorgeous shot admajic. I like the churning water, it provides a nice contrast to the beautiful smooth tones in the sky.
I completely agree with Wendell, one of your best shots by far

Here is another from the same session.
I really need to learn more about Photoshop but getting there.
This one has that more silky smooth feel about it. Its uncropped just straightened.

another option is to buy a ND filter, get an 8x but if your daring get a 64x
depending on when you take the pic you can set the camera for a much longer exposure and get silky heavenly water
i used a ND 64x here 1minute f8, the light was early morning light not too bright

Posted: Wed Jun 21, 2006 5:46 pmAdam...looks like you are heading the right direction 
The exposure looks ok but I think the composition could have some changes.
I would have liked to see more of the colorful clouds and less of Bondi in the background. The other part I would have maybe done differently is have more of the rocks in the foreground to lead into the image.
The silkiness of the water is good and I like....I have noticed we suffer the same issue with the color of the water...I don't know why but it does capture at this odd semi cyan strangely blue color this time of year with a longish exposure
