Crystal Cove Sunrise - Canon R5

3 years 8 months ago #693995 by Alex
Sunday morning colors were forecasted to be pretty decent.  Well they were at best 'OK'.  However between the low hanging fog in the distance, the warm morning light and the rich blue sky, I was happy with this shot.  

Let me know what you think.

More than OK! I'd try to get a bit more from the shadow area on the left:thumbsup:

Stunning work Alex.  I'm rather fond of the lines and that blue in the sky!

Hey John, how are you doing friend?!  I was just thinking about you the other day.  Hope you are doing well!  

Now regarding the lower left shadows... actually that has been darkened in Photoshop intentionally.  It wasn't as dark and I wanted to direct the viewers attention to the line of light coming in and the breaking waves in the back, leading to the fog in the distance.  The lower left brought no value (in my opinion  ;)   ), it had some kelp on the ground that I found distracting.

Thank you Chris!  Actually I was hoping for some red and orange.  But agree, the blues pull you in!

Have you tested out the video of that camera?  The photo looks great, just curious if you have experienced the overheating that everyone is talking about?

Yep, that's a shot!

And that is my 2 cents.
