That would be a beautiful picture if some guy wasn't standing in the middle of it.




































:whistle: Actually, it makes one wish they were on the water.

I like the way that the sun is cupped inside of the cabin shape and it also gives salty dog a halo !
Great shot DE ! Rich colors !

Awesome!! Curious what it would look like cropped with him further to the right so it has more of the thirds rule. Also less light from the front on the bottom and right side. Maybe dark in the bottom right corner and far right side and blend into the light keeping his upper body and face lit up well. I’m not saying it would make it better, just curious what it would look like.

In other forums I have read you see lots of comments about the having the horizon straight. It’s real close and it doesn’t bother me but it will some people are critical about it.

I disagree.
It brought back and allowed me to experience for just a brief moment when it was me standing there like that.
The smell of the water, the low steady drone of the diesel, the sound of the bow dropping into the trough, the cool crisp air...

but then it all comes back to an office with walls and imitation cool air seasoned with sticks of incense to create an imitation smell to try and make you think that you could be somewhere that you arent.


Great picture.
Next time use a female in a bikini. thank you in advance.

you might be right, look at the shadows of the boat in the spray, then compare it to the position of the sun.
shouldnt the shadows be on the other side of the boat?

that being said, I think that photoshop is a tool like any other, properly used it can be a great addition to any photo. Using photoshop is easy, using it well is a bit harder.

still a great picture.

Good eye for the shadows. They go in both directions when you get balanced in cross light. Yes PS used well is todays darkroom.

Awesome photo. my only comment is that he looks posed, not natural....detracts from the photo.


Yep I tried and tried , some folks tense up when they know the camera is on them. A skill I lack is getting people to ease up. I need to work on my people skills , cracking jokes n such to break the tension.

Strobist

Start here and use PS to fine tune.

Strobe was on top of the Bit , Camera right ,you see a small part it in photograph.

I like the strobist site :yay: I have a couple of "Poverty wizards" and monkeyed around a little but nothing spectacular.

I like your idea, my only input, maybe place the strobe a a little higher?

DE...the use of fill flash is great... still have trouble getting the fill right for the conditions. Used correctly, as here...things come out great. Nice work. Most images used corretly with "fill" have an almost studio look to them. Nice capture. I can see I need to be shooting more!

Fantastic!!

Would you share the file info on the settings with us'ens??
