Here’s my effort from the oceanside pier outing. Taking all black and white was a challenge (I slipped one color one in there). I think the biggest impact was the combination of the circular polarizer and the red filter. Those two together really make the sky into a light to dark gradient. I won’t take credit for the pelican in the window frame. That was all Jessica K.’s idea. Here are all the ones I kept:
I really like the wide angle on all of the pier shots. And I won’t rub it in too much about the polarizer…because it makes SUCH a difference:) I also like how much detail you can see in the close up of the pelican…lots of texture. Like always, great shots!
I really like the picture of the bike. A little nostalgic with the old stile bike and the black and white. Very nice.
Man! you can get a lot of space in one shot. They feel huge. Great lighting. I love the highlights on the street lights. Humorous composition for the pelican. The under bridge shots are really cool. Mine turned out too dark. I had such a good time, thanks for the help.
