stunsworth Posted January 7, 2007 Share #1 Posted January 7, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) A brave soul this afternoon. Personally I was happy to get out of the car, take the snap and drive away :-) Panasonic LX2 [ATTACH]20969[/ATTACH] Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted January 7, 2007 Posted January 7, 2007 Hi stunsworth, Take a look here Winter fishing. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
stunsworth Posted January 7, 2007 Author Share #2 Posted January 7, 2007 Hmmm, I think the panoramic format works against the image in this case - it might have been better if the fisherman was to the left of the frame. On balance I think this shot works better. Canon 5D, 50mm Summicron. [ATTACH]20971[/ATTACH] Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Elliott Posted January 7, 2007 Share #3 Posted January 7, 2007 Still nice shot and without getting out of your car then not bad composition either! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stunsworth Posted January 7, 2007 Author Share #4 Posted January 7, 2007 Paul, I got out of the car, I just didn't hang around for too long :-) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Elliott Posted January 7, 2007 Share #5 Posted January 7, 2007 Never tried beach fishing and this pic sums up why! I stick to summer months on the river Lea..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
azzo Posted January 7, 2007 Share #6 Posted January 7, 2007 Compositionj wise..the 2nd is better. I'd still crop till very slightly under the larger stone in the middle, to eliminate most of the black object in the foreground, which in my opinion, is not helping. Very nicely seen and captured, Steve. Best Azzo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmr Posted January 7, 2007 Share #7 Posted January 7, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Steve, good shots - well done. I too think they'd be stronger yet with a crop from the bottom. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter41951 Posted January 7, 2007 Share #8 Posted January 7, 2007 Lovely shots; I can feel the blast of the weather. Still, it was kind to lend him your tripod for leaning his rod against...... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stunsworth Posted January 7, 2007 Author Share #9 Posted January 7, 2007 Thanks guys, you're probably right about the cropping. He wasn't the only one on the beach either. Here's a shot looking south towards Blackpool. Canon 5D, 50mm Summicron [ATTACH]21013[/ATTACH] Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
abrewer Posted January 7, 2007 Share #10 Posted January 7, 2007 Once again your natural ability with waves and water emerges Steve. I like number two best...the perspective and framing. Thanks for sharing. Allan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
azzo Posted January 7, 2007 Share #11 Posted January 7, 2007 IMHO, this is the strongest out of the three. A lovely timeless B&W image, if you ask me. Very well seen, composed and captured Steve. Best Azzo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stunsworth Posted January 8, 2007 Author Share #12 Posted January 8, 2007 Thanks again - the 3rd one has grown on me, though the downsizing has done strange things to the pebbles on the beach. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
abrewer Posted January 8, 2007 Share #13 Posted January 8, 2007 Thanks again - the 3rd one has grown on me... Three? And not number Two? With the way the breaking/crashing surf is caught perfectly? I just don't see it...I'll take number two please! Thanks. Allan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stunsworth Posted January 8, 2007 Author Share #14 Posted January 8, 2007 Allan, I'd say the second one is my favourite, but the third one was originally just a throw away shot to illustrate the beach. The more I look at it the more I like it and wish I had an Epson 3800 to do it justice. The b&w conversion was done using the Alien Skin Exposure Photoshop plugin by the way.

elansprint72 Posted January 8, 2007 Share #15 Posted January 8, 2007 #3 for me, it reminds me why I hate Blackpool. You have a Tri-X thing going on here. Pete. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
macos Posted January 11, 2007 Share #16 Posted January 11, 2007 Steve, these are fabulous fishing pictures. I like winter beach fishing (you only need the right clothing ) a lot, and you captured the atmosphere and what it is about. THX!
