Artist's Comments
Sometimes it's worth to risk a little to make a good photo. I was standing on one rock while shooting this, and the tripod was completely in the sea, with all three legs. I was afraid that I'll stand on something slippery and end in the sea together with my new camera. I wouldn't mind me being wet, but I'd like my new full frame toy to remain dry at least for some time
 Since the coast is facing north I had to stay a little further from it so I don't have any houses in the photo, and the rocks were composed better this way, so I had to risk a bit. I really love how many colors there are in this photo. The sky was really awesome and the green from the rocks in the shallow sea fits in just fine  Location: Arbanija, Island Ciovo, Croatia Other information: - HDR processed from 3 different exposures +/-2 stops - ND400 filter * I'm not able to thank each one of you for faving the photo, but you must know that I appreciate your support very much.

Thanks for the comment!
I like to use HDR to increase dynamic range of the photo, not to destroy it. Therefore, I want it to be subtle. About the new toy, I'm still not used to it's possibilities and features (cause the jump was pretty big: from Canon 350D to 5D mkII), but the difference is huge. -- Check out my gallery: [link] Thanks!  The risk was worth it.
Well, it was expensive and the prices increased in December here too. It's even more expensive in Croatia than in other European countries, around 20% up.
But I managed to buy second hand camera that was barely used and it was much cheaper than to go to the store and buy it in regular way. So I decided to buy it, as I was looking for an upgrade anyway. -- Check out my gallery: [link] Thanks!  I cannot say I prefer them over horizontal, but I have more of them. Sometimes I can capture more with the vertical shot. This one in particular would be boring and unbalanced horizontal, as I would then have houses on the left, and empty sky and sea on the right.
I decide when I see the scenery, but it turns out that vertical shots are more often in my gallery. Which orientation do you prefer? -- Check out my gallery: [link] Thanks! I'm aware of that and it's true.
I've bought 24-70 f2.8L few months ago, but back then I did not know I'll buy a full frame camera so soon, but I was still aware that the good lens are essential, even on cheaper cameras. Today, I'm even more glad I did that. Now I'm left with that lens and I have Canon 50mm f1.8 and 100mm macro. I have to sell 10-20 mm Sigma and some other EF-S lens I don't need anymore. Next investment must be good telephoto L lens and something wider than 24 mm. Expensive hobby... -- Check out my gallery: [link] Thanks! |

 reports, 3h 17m agoWhen did it suddenly become cool to hate everything? It's a growing problem, especially in the entertainment world, and no one benefits from an increasingly hard to please, pessimistic audience. |
