Week 13 – Stormy Wave Watcher

Week 13 - Stormy Wave Watcher

Only 1 more after this to catch up! Week 21 will be coming out this week… i think its 21.. on Sunday 🙂

I have another Layer Masking shot i wanted to share as well.

Been pretty unwell this week, which is unfortunately as i was keen to get out for a shoot this weekend. I want to chase these fantastic autumn colours which have been around the place.. we had a lot of warmth in march/april in Sydney and it has definitely held off the plants from turning those fantastic colours.

Till next time..

Layer Masking in Photoshop

Hey People,

Following up my last post Alex Wise from www.alexwisephotography.net posted up a comment regarding one of my fav shots from the morning. You can see this comment here.

IT was in regards to an article he had written about combining two images to form one, a trick which is a good way to use a shot where the sky is exposed correctly, and one where the foreground is exposed correctly. Too often it seems with landscape photography, you have odd light.. odd times and sometimes you have to compromise to what you find best.

Anyway here is the result,

Staring Down the Sun

This shot has the sky at captured at -1 exposure, and the foreground and +/- 0.

You can find the tutorial by alex here.

Thank you Alex, very much appreciated 🙂

Till next time…

Bronte Sunrise

Bronte Sunrise

Met up with my friend Zee this morning for a shoot at Bronte, i slept in 🙁 Woke up at 5:55, first light @ 6:03.. sunrise @ 6:38 and i arrived at the beach at 6:28

Quickly dashed down for some shots, only had about 20mins of shooting.

Did get my new Cokin Z kit tho, I will get some shots of it and do a review for the blog.

Bronte is a lovely spot for Sunrises, i dont think i have shot it the way i want yet.. i always get there a touch too late… time to harden up and get there earlier. Wasnt as cold as i thought, but was still pretty cold

Full set here.

Till next time…
