The camera was on auto white balance - kept giving me orange and red results, so switched to daylight WB which was an improvement, the blue end. I figured there's no real effective way to truly measure the WB of lighting - the clouds have an influence as they are reflecting some of the light from the town which will be generally tungsten - so any tweaking to 'correct' for perceived imbalance is accepted in my book.

Re: PESO - Lightning Strike, Polzeath, Cornwall 2014
Very nice, especially the way the cloud is lit. I went to the Dennis Hopper exhibition after work today, and cycled home at about 9pm, all the time watching the lightning flashing in the dense black clouds in the east. Felt the occasional fat drop of rain, but no downpour. The whole thing was a magnificent sight, and when I was cycling along the river in Greenwich the walkway was lined with people taking photos of the lightning over the Dome, and each time there was a flash a great cheer went up from the passengers on the pleasure cruisers.

On 18/4/14, Bob Sullivan, discombobulated, unleashed: The 3 others on the Fuji X-E1 as well? Very nice. Yes, many thanks. The X-E1 is very good but I want an X-T1 as I still have issues with the EVF [on the X-E1]. I still find it very difficult in coming from an optical viewfinder to electronic for stills. Having used EVF for 25 years on video cameras, you might be forgiven for finding that surprising. I think it's due to the different mindset needed for each application. The ergonomics with the X-E1 and wide lens, no problem. But the 85 is a handful on it. -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__Broadcast, Corporate, || (O) |Web Video Production --www.seeingeye.tv _ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Re: GESO - 4 pics from Cornwall
I particularly like the second one, The others might be so many places the one of the town really has a lot of character. I'm wondering where you were when you took it, in a sea going vessel or on a cliff, or on an outcrop that would be inaccesable were it not low tide.

Interesting - I am curious now - I will try and find out where it came from and who it is modelled on! Apparently the place was used as film sets for both Poldark in the 70s and latterly Doc Martin.

Re: PESO - Coastal Sedimentary Rock, Cornwall 2012
I find that image quite effective and pleasing. There is nice contrast between the smoothness of the sand or mud and the rough texture of the large dark rock mass on the right. I also like the way the left-pointing wedge of the rock on the right is complemented by the right-pointing distant land masses and cloud bank in the left distance. It makes for a strong composition, balanced in one sense and unbalanced in another.

I burnt the sky in a bit but I didn't touch the rock - although it looks like I've either burnt in the top half or dodged the bottom half - I didn't! It's a straight in-camera mono conversion. When I saw it I was reminded of St Ansel's northern California beach work, although I don't for one second compare myself to him - but the inspiration is there.

Cotty, Quoth the Water Rat in Wind in the Willows, 'Believe me, my young friend, there is nothing- absolutely nothing- half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats.' I think that includes photographic boats. This is a very nice gallery that captures the feel of the area well. I particularly like 1,2,7,8 (where the orange bouys along the gunwale really make the shot) and 9. My favorite area of the Cornish coast is up near Tintagel. What an amazing area!

When my son grows up and flies the coup, and my wife is old and haggard, I can squirrel myself away on photographic expeditions.
