Here in Florida for some personal time… But always have a camera at hand to practice and play.
Tonight’s Sarasota sunset was a bit on the intense side. Just happened to be in an OK place to grab a bit of color and some silhouettes of sailboats along with some shoreline.
A short walk from the Tiki bar I was enjoying when a strip of color started to materialize under a cloud filled sky. 1/250 sec f4.5 ISO 200
After helping to judge the International Loupe Awards over this last couple of days I almost didn’t make this photo because I had viewed so much absolutely beautiful work. So I made this more for me and for seeing what happens with a little experimentation as seen in the second photo.
OK this is moments after the first photo was taken. Camera movement up during slow exposure and adding some color
enhancement correction and a bit of work in post leads to this more abstract rendition of the scene. 1/6 sec f20 ISO 200
I haven’t decided if I like this version. I need some time away from the image. but I believe it’s given me a place to start and I have some new thoughts on how I may capture some scenes in the future as starting places for creating a more artistic look in my work.
Images were captured with the Lumix GH4 and the 35-100mm Lumix Vario f2.8 lens.
Yours in Creative Photography, Bob
