I love this image! I would like to know how it was accomplished, if its not a trade secret? It looks great either way.

Nice picture John. I think it would benefit from being tilted just one or two degrees left to straighten out the horizon. Overall it is a very nice picture I like the light reflecting off the wet surface.

WOW, that looks great. I have absolutely no experience in Photoshop. So the pictures end up looking worse than the original, they loose some contrast in the scanning. Thanks for the help.

Combining two of my favorite arts, Haiku and Photography this image is absolutely astounding! The photograph is simply amazing. The crisp, details in the tide meeting the sand, and the froth as it reaches the shore, it demands the focus of your eyes. Panning upward you follow the detailed rocks jutting from the shoreline leading into the white water hugging its base and extending to the distant islands. What a picture!

I would have to agree, the effect is very nice. Adjusting the F-stop for a red filter or polarizing filter is simple, 3 stops. Of course as simple as they say it is there is only about a thousand circumstances where it doesn?t work!

Don't get me wrong, it is just a personal thing, but I love the B&W without the blue tones. I am by no mean proficient in PS so what people do there always amazes me. Like I said personal opinion, but I like the true B&W. We can discuss the small details till we are blue in the face, no pun intended, but that fact is this is a magnificent image that was masterfully framed and exposed.

I think the minimum distance for a disposable is 3 ft. I could be wrong, maybe try backing up taking the photo and cropping it to the same frame as this one. Then you have a doggie in focus, while still retaining the same look.

For some reason at the moment the name of this vessel slips my mind...hmmm...unfortunate. This is the only ship in the Tall Ship challenge that had junk sails. This particular ship was hand built by its owner, which makes it even more impressive!

Talk about being in the right place at the right time. If a hundred photographers managed to find Cook Strait at this precise time, I doubt any could even come close to accomplishing what you have here. Your skill and artistic eye are amazing. The colors here are rich and the reflection gives just enough light to the rocks below. Congratulations. I look forward to seeing more of your work. If you get a chance I would be honored if you could take a quick look at some of my images. I am new to photography and would love someone of your talent to give me some critique.

I love what you do with your camera! This photo is no exception. I love it! It has a cetin quality that keeps you looking. The only criticism I would have is I might enjoy seeing it without the light reflection in the lower right hand corner.

I believe your choice for using B&W was well planned. I wonder if the contrast would be diffrent (more) if it were shot with B&W film. I find conversiuons tend to leave the image with more of a gray scale than true and absolute black and whites. Please don't take me wrong I love the image. It is a great photo.

I am almost afraid to pose the same question as I did on your Buddha photo. But is this photoshopped to add saturation to your photos? I think I need to try slide film.

The image is magnificent! I am curious how long you waited to get this shot, or if you happened upon it? I would try to burn the pines in the lower right hand section; they are just a little washed out. Other wise a terrific image!

I often hear people talking about the existence of God. What I can't believe is how people after witnessing miracles such as these, they still don't believe. The image is just as you described it. It?s very beautiful!

What makes this image, in my opinion, are the tones. The framing is nice and the shutter speed is right on, which is sometimes hard to do when shooting car trails. But the tones are beautiful! Especially in the cloud cover.

My lord, change nothing. I feel like I'm there. This is beautiful! Positively beautiful! This is the sort of image that gets taken directly back to the lab, blown up, framed and hung on the wall.
A true photograph taken from a true photographer invokes feelings and emotions. When you look at the picture and you feel it as well as see it, No matter the subject, framing, DOF, color or B&W, it is a great photograph!!

Nice image, I think I would like to see something in focus. The DOF leads to to the right of the picture, I would have liked to see the center "object" in sharp focus. Sometime something are easiler said than done!

Never turn down free film! and your right, it's a great way to experiment. As for the image I would try a lower perseptive and a larger apeture. Just a suggestion : )If you get a chance I would love to see what you think of some of my images.

I like the image I really do. Personally I would never use a C41 B&W film. All you will ever get are shades of gray, not true B&W. If you are in love with Kodak use the T-Max 100 or 200. If you want to use a great film try Ilford delta 100 or Ilford Pan 50. Not that T-max isn't good film I just prefer the contrast I get from Ilford film.
It is also more important than ever, when using B&W film, to keep in mind that your camera will automatically meter to 16% gray. If you have never heard of this I suggest reading Ansel Adams book on the camera. It is just something that a lot of people don't keep in mind when shooting. I know it took me awhile to get a proper exposure, that I found acceptable.

Have you ever tried a Red filter when shooting B&W film? It acts similar to a polarizing filter. I think you would find that your skies would have much more definition and contrast. The worst thing, for me at least, for a B&W image is one that is all gray!

Great shot mark. Now tell me this, is this one image or several pasted together? If you like T-Max give Ilford Delta 100 or Pan 50 a try. Less grain and more contrast.
