As Promised...


A few nights ago, Bethany and I spent the evening with my brother and his wife. They live on the 'north shore' (the other side of the bay). The four of us took a brief walk by the water. My brother has a new camera as well (a slightly more basic model of my Canon), so we took some pictures together. I think his pictures turned out better than mine, but that has probably happened to many of us...

This was one of the few photos I took that I was happy with. There was rain falling in the Georgia Straight, but it was hard to capture it. This was one of the more successful attempts. I took some similar photos without the dock in the foreground, but I think I like the railing in this image. There are no alterations on this photo, this is straight from the camera.

Canon PowerShot S2 IS, 6mm, f/3.5, 1/6 sec, ISO 50

Magnificent shot. The clouds look so amazing. The bit in the bottom right corner, was it on purpose? Super shot!

Great shot.I suggest increase of shadows and saturation might do some good.

I like the railing in the picture, too. It gives depth and perspective to the photo.

You should be happy with this shot Dude!
I like the inclusion of the handrail as well. Its a debate as to whether to include such composite aspects in images like or similar to this. However I think is used to good effect in your image as well.
Its emphasises the perspective through that region of the image giving the image body and depth. I posted an image just recently with a similar composite aspect included to give the image body and perspective as well. (http://nativflavaz.blogspot.com/2006/04/auckland-city-night-view.html)
Metaphorically, its a reminder that the beauty of nature is sometimes off limits or should be approached with respect.

This is a good shot. The railing gives you perspective. I like "landscape" type shots that include something in the ofreground to give the image some real depth. Also, I think you did sucessfully capture the rain in the back.
