Rabbit Island, Mount Maunganui, Bay of Plenty , NZ
IR image from today's trip to the beach.
Nikon D70sIR
Nikon 18-70 @18mm
ISO 200, 1/100s f11
Red and blue channels inverted in PS4, OnOne Plugin KiYoko punch and some selective saturation adjustments to neutralise the grass and push up the false blue.
Tony, I love the overall scene and the IR rendition. I might evict the bottom right trunk. Colors are beautiful and has the feeling of 3D. Nice image!!
I totally agree with Denise. The only thing that isn't perfect is that tree trunk on the right side of the frame. Everything else makes me want to pull up a chair and sit all day long...
Thanks for the comments, ladies. Great suggestion to clean up that trunk. It is a great spot - we were swimming in the surf in summer and a pod of Orca went past just beyond the breakers on their search for a Stingray meal.
Tony, well thought out comp, with good placement of the island framed between the trees. Great IR conversion, and Im fine with the trunk on the right. Looks like a great place to be. What is the water temp there. Cape Town is a fine place to be, but the sea temp is around 9 deg C, just too **** cold. The warmer waters around Durban are perfect. Cheers, Stuart.
Thanks, Stuart. Definitely warmer than Cape Town - Muizenberg is OK but Clifton/Camps Bay is agony!. I grew up swimming on the Natal North Coast so a bit spoilt by that. The Mount is fine through the summer with very pleasant sea temps.
