Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied.

Easter Photo Trip - B&W/Colour Set from South Australia

Postby Ronza on Sun Apr 08, 2007 6:03 pm

Woke up yesterday with a call from a mate - both of us were doing SFA so after 15 mins of hasty planning, we threw some kit into the car and hit the road south down the Fleurieu Peninsula. Missed the Southern Expressway by 20 minutes, took some crappy "shortcuts" but nevertheless made it to Pt Willunga & Aldinga Beach.

Shots from the afternoon were processed to B&W, want to get some more B&W shots for some prints later, second post has some shots at Sunset at Sellicks Beach. Quite a bit of PS merging, usually not used to doing much more outside of Lightroom.

what's even scarier is that Ronza hasn't hit his peak and he's producing work this fantastic!

#3 and #4 - not a lot of people can pull this type of shot off in lighting that could be deemed unreasonable but you've managed to capture some corker images!

Wow, fantastic stuff! I like #2 the best, great use of foreground... #3 and #4 have excellent colour. Did you use a polariser for #3?
