*OFFICIAL* Snapshot of the Day (one image per post please) #1

[panicos81]

hey guys, this was taken same time as the previous one.. sunset pic i just didn't want a sunset pic again

any thoughts.. i don't know about the coloring..


oh and i need a bigger lens.. had to stand very close to the water to get this with my 35mm, so close that a wave came and lets just say that i drove home with full heating on blowing air to my shoes

I like it, the color makes it interesting. It definitely informs the viewer of the time of day.

Lol helps that idrove down to Florida

Back at home its supposed to be close to 80 In the middle of the week. Which is unheard of for this time of year. I'm ready for summer now, i miss my boat

Awesome shot Reed! Great timing, composition, post.

worse, imo. The original looks good.

I think both are too much and neither is a natural sunset color (mauve and pink?).

hahaha i'm a bit coloblind!! I know i just didn't want the "standard" sunset colors. The true original is like the previous pic with the rock..

I'll give it another shot later.. off to play pool

Yeah, the idea is good, panicos. Just play with different hues. Maybe something a little warmer. Otherwise it's a nice shot. It definitely has potential.

This is how close I got to the ocean with a 10mm without getting wet shoes - but it was close.

Thanks for the comments and advise guys..

great shots folks. I don't think the sunset colours should matter too much as it is the silhouette you're going for. As long as it isn't an offensive colour, all is well

Can't beat wet feet (or nearly wet) for the perfect water shots that's how I got the bird throwing the fish into it's mouth, I was on one knee in the water and hoping that I didn't lose balance with the 70-200 F2.8 on that would have been an expensive mistake.

hahaha yeah when the first wave came i was kind of shocked, but then i said what the hell. i like this pic so it was worth it.. i like your pic as well so that was worth it also
i'm thinking of going back there again with my kid nephews small rubber boat.. i would love to catch these guys with the sun directly behind them or the sunset line in the water.. but the water is too cold and if i fall cannot afford to lose my camera even if its just a d5100!!

I was digging through my old slides from Korea when I found some IR color slides. I don't know if this is for everyone, but they certainly are unusual.
I took a few B&W IR shots too, and I'm scanning the negatives and will try to get something useable from them.
