Burning Turimetta

Gallery: LandscapePosted October 23, 2010160 views6 comments

This photo has been taken some time ago at Turimetta Beach (location link below). This spot is quite common for Sydney, chasing sunrise photographers but despite the amazing dawn that day, there was no one else to witness that sunrise.

Part of my goal was to get more of those white water lines in between the rocks + expose some of the water texture. Most of PP has been done with Tony Kuyper's tips and tricks :)
Would be great to know what you think in general (well, unless you have some specifics in mind). Thanks for looking and for any comments :))

I really like the long-exposure streaks of the moving water. This picture certainly makes a good impression.

I think this is a very cool shot. I really like the motion of the water between the rocks and the color in the cloudy sky. Only suggestion would be to maybe crop some off the left to get rid of the rock sticking out in the ULC; and the rocks on the right are much more interesting.

The water and clouds look great.

A bit of contrast to the rocks might give the image even more depth and pop..

Thanks for your comments guys :) Much appreciated!

I also, wasnt sure Zach about the rock on the left so I might as well clone it ;)
Thanks Lance, I see what you mean...I will rework this a bit to check how I could achieve it.

this is excellent, Tom. the diagonal of the surf water lines leads you right in

Very special light, Tom. Glad someone was there for it.

A couple of suggestion since you asked: I could see cropping the top of the sky to remove the colorless sky. It's a little light, and a scroll crop better emphasizes the clouds and sun. For the water/foreground, I'm wondering abut a bit more saturation to help them compete and blend a little better with what's happening in the sky.
