Fishing at Sunset

kundalini · Oct 26, 2010

Thanks for looking. C&C appreciated.

I really like to color and the mood.

But for some reason, I keeping thinking the guy on the left is hitting the head of the guy on the right with his fishing pole.

Nicely captured. Agree with Dao, but I like it! :lol:

Very very nice! Would like to see more from this shoot.

Beautiful colors. Nice use of silhouette.

Thanks everybody for your comments.

I hear ya' about the flailing rod. :lol:

I asked the guys if they'd mind a photo and they were cool with it, but I didn't ask them to do anything other than what they were doing. I sat the camera on a rubbish bin that was nearby. I metered the sky with a CPL and NDx8 filter on for a 3" exposure at f/8. I popped another for 2" and one last at 6", which summarily hit the recycle bin at a rather high velocity. :biggrin:

Here's the 2 second exposure. The only difference in post I tried to clean up the ghosting from the left guy's rod (more to do) and reduced the vibrance slighly.

Anybody else?

I lol'ed.

I like the second better. The motion blur of the first is a bit distracting.

Hi! Mr.K
I thought I liked the first photo till i saw the second..#2 ftw:thumbup:

CPL + ND = Amazing. I need to try that. Nice shot!

I think I prefer the second edit with the fixed "rod flailing" and the vibrancy turned down a hair.

When I saw the first one... I thought it was nice shot... But the orange is too bright for my tastes.

Thanks folks. Lesson learned, take my second best guess first. I've actually received better reponses from other forums on this shot. In fact, so much better that I'm in the crossroads. Why am I here? Probaly time to move on....... again.
