    Good man, one of the most difficult sections of the Copper Coast to get a good shot., especially on a dull day.

      Get back out there David , and if you get enough shots there will always be a chance you can get one of the super duper comfy warm Hata’s :-)

  • @sanclewphotographic
    @sanclewphotographic 5 років тому +1

    Excellent tips for composition, forgive me but I did not like the first image so much because of the sea stack going through the headland in the distance, but when you repositioned to take in the series of stacks and foreground boulders the last few images where the composition and quality of the shots were stunning. regards.

    • @DarrenJSpoonley
      @DarrenJSpoonley  5 років тому

      Thanks very much , I preferred the last set of images myself also :-)

  • @JamesRBurnsVLOG
    @JamesRBurnsVLOG 5 років тому +1

    2nd to last shot is very nice Darren with the use of the receding waves as lead in lines and well balanced with the stacks. Very insightful vlog matey. Lots of food for thought. Why do you chose an RGB histogram by the way?

    • @DarrenJSpoonley
      @DarrenJSpoonley  5 років тому

      James R Burns thank you very much James , delighted you enjoyed the location , will have to bring you there someday .. there isn’t a greyscale version on the 6D mk1 and I also like to watch out for the blue clipping when shooting

  • @SimonBurnCreative
    @SimonBurnCreative 5 років тому +1

    The sea stacks were nice, but I like the images at the end the best. Really nicely done Darren. No drone footage in this one, was it too windy?

    • @DarrenJSpoonley
      @DarrenJSpoonley  5 років тому +1

      Simon Burn thank you very much Kind Sir !! The light was already fading when I arrived so no time to fly on this one :-(

  • @philipculbertson55
    @philipculbertson55 5 років тому +1

    You just know it is going to be a good day when the wellies go on. A question: When you blend one wave hitting two parts of the image do you just take them into Photoshop, add a mask and paint out half or do you have another approach?

    • @DarrenJSpoonley
      @DarrenJSpoonley  5 років тому

      Thanks Philip .. when I wear the waders it gets epic so:-) yes exactly that method is what I use but I didn’t actually do it in the end

  • @tonyb2760
    @tonyb2760 5 років тому +1

    I'm not a fan of seascape images where the water looks like clouds instead of moving water, the same with water fall images. Moving water should have detail and not be exposed so long that all detail is lost. I personally prefer one half second to one full second max to maintain some detail. Your last image was really good with plenty of detail, so without making me eat my own words, how long was the exposure? Thanks for sharing

    • @DarrenJSpoonley
      @DarrenJSpoonley  5 років тому +2

      Tony Blackwell Thanks Tony.. it can be too milky at the longest for sure .. 0.5 is my preferred speed and your bang on on the last image :-)
