Don't sue me afoto, for copying you :P

I saw really red clouds, when I got off work. So I drove to an extremely secret location to get some shots of it. I was too late, however. So I drove to another location where I still saw some colour in the sky. When I was shooting, I had afoto's photos in mind all the time

I wish I had ND filter, though. f/22 and ISO-100 gave me a shutter speed of 4 seconds, apprx. I've had to expose for the water and the sky separately, and mask in in PS. Also reduced the clarity of the water, and blurred it some more in PS.

I've got four shots, one colour and one bw of each. One composition with lots of sky, and one with more foreground. What do you think?

Im afraid there isnt enough colour, but the blue works well, but the b and w works best i reckon. I like 3, the negative space works

3 is my fav as well.

hey compaq,

hahaha i'm so flattered! i also like the 3rd one.
do you have some water drops on the top right corner of lens in the first two?

you should get a nd and try again! i say the longer the shutter speed the better.

Yes, how dare you not use selective color in your B&Ws...

I really like the last one. It has a dreamy feel without being cliche and is very simple.

Water drops, might be. I had some weird stuff I had to (try) to clone out. Might be water, but I can't understand how those got there. Calm waters, no splashing whatsoever. It's a mystery! Or are you referring to the weird clouds?

Yup, after looking at your shots, my wish (and therefore huge need lol) for an ND filter (8 stops or something) has increased!

jowensphoto (is your name Jowen?), exactly my thoughts. Dreamy and simple.
