Grey Seal in Sandstorm

[Andreas Liedmann]

Hi folks ... here I am .... back again with an image I posted before ( or one of the series ) . Cannot remember when it was posted from my side .... so I gave it a new go with different software and knowledge .

Love the soft look of the frame , due to the techs and the strong wind blowing the sand across the beach .

F 6,3 ; Iso 2000 ; 1/250 sec ; man exp and auto iso
With hindsight , I might have gone even lower with the SS for an even more soft look&feel in the original capture . But I was afraid , due to the strong wind , to get no sharpness into the subject . Luckily this female was not moving for a short time.

Thanks for looking and commenting to my previous thread

Cheers Andreas

Love the mood and feel to this one. Nice framing and low angle as well.

Hi Andreas -- Loved the feel here , almost mystical. well composed and nice tones where it matters. Certainly you have shown the way on how to deal with foggy images. Superbly done.

TFS !

Andreas, really like the mood you created here. As mentioned by others, kind of mystical, but sharp where necessary. Great photo.
