    Default Chintsa Curves

    Seems like the Landscape forum is rather quiet, so I thought I'd post another one!!

    I don't get to shoot seascapes that much...since taking up photography the majority of my trips have been wildlife-oriented and if I get to shoot nice landscapes I would be happy.

    During a recent visit to family in East London on South Africa's Wild Coast, I met up with another photographer and we went to the holiday town of Chintsa early one morning for a sunrise shoot. We knew it was overcast and having good light was iffy, but you never know!

    Eventually the sun broke through some clouds. I liked the curvature in the rocks at this spot. This is a 3-image blend processed with Tony Kuyper's Triple Blend method.

    All feedback appreciated.

    Hi Morkel, good eye on this one finding that area that gave you a leading line. Well handled technically(good job with the natural HDR) and the bouncing light adding drama to the sky. A small nit is adding just bit to the bottom otherwise a very nice job!!!

    I would not know it was HDR if you hadn't mentioned it.
    It is a bit "brown" I think and would have been better with better light, but you take what you can get.
    Well done.

    thanks Dave and Earl

    yes I wished for better water colour but with tumultuous seas and overcast weather you can't expect more than brown

    Hey Morkel,
    I think you positioned everything very nicely with the lines leading you nicely. Did you try going for a warmer WB? I do think you can tweak this a bit more as the sunrays and sky would hold up to an agressive FG tweak. Just something for you to play around with.

    Hi Morkel, I love the perspective with the sun rays breaking through the cloud. Very nice!

    Hi Morkel, a little late to the party, but this is very nicely composed. Agree with Roman's suggestions that will take it up a notch!
