Re: PAW - Sunset at Point Elizabeth
A nice shot. Somewhat less typical (very nice indeed) of a sunset. The blue in the sky and the reflection off the sand really make this shot.

Re: PAW - Sunset at Point Elizabeth
Unfortunately, I was there on business, and although I had several weeks, I worked every day that it didn't rain. On the day it rained I drove west as far as the mountains. and I did get to drive down the east coast on some location scouts. I spent a few days in Christ Church, but most of the time in a farm town about 70 miles southwest of Christ Church. We shot some commercials for Chrysler in fields of flowers. They were seed crops, but very pretty. We paid double for one farmer's crop, then built a 900 foot asphalt road through his field, We tore it out and trucked in new topsoil for the field when we were through. New Zealand is the most beautiful place on the planet, with some of the best people one would ever want to know. Wish I could live there.

Re: PAW - Sunset
What I like is the colors and the clouds. What bothers me a bit is the DOF. The front leaves are in focus and the rest is not. There is just too much of the rest of the photo to put the focus on the extreme foreground, at least for me. I see the leaves top front to be more of a framing tool rather than the subject. -- Best regards, Bruce Thursday, November 17, 2005, 1:41:01 AM, you wrote: DM Here is another of my really old ones... it's from my first ever roll DM of Velvia.

Re: PAW - Sunset, 6:06PM
Not quite. I was observing a disconnect between a posted image and the ~description~ of events that were taking place, not the title. Had the poster (Frantisek) not described the scene as volunteers helping the handicapped at a fair, I'd not have commented as i did. And, in my own defense LOL, this is an abstract, not meant to directly depict reality in any way, although, if one were to check the sunrise/sunset table it would be seen that the sun set at exactly the time noted in the title, 6:06 PM. Anyway, the posted photo is just another of my pretentious images, poking a little fun at myself and all the silly or unimportant images we see every day. That some people enjoy it is a bonus. Thanks for your comments. Shel From: Jostein [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: 9/23/2004 2:35:29 AM Subject: Re: PAW - Sunset, 6:06PM Hi, Shel Definately a diffreent take on sunsets. I really like it for being an abstract shot with graphic elements that contrasts ech other somewhat; the near horizontal lines of light and shade, and the structure in the wall. However, there's nothing in this pic that points to the setting actually being a sunset. It might as well be illumination from a sodium street lamp, or maybe even a tungsten light source. You must decide for yourself if this is a weakness in this shot; I just brought it up since you were very insistent on the lack of connection between motif and title in a recent PAW from somebody else. Personally I think titles in general is a good thing when it can be used to direct the viewer's thought in the directions intended by the photographer, and it works for me in this case. Well spotted, Shel. http://home.earthlink.net/~digisnaps/sunset.html

Re: PAW: Sunset on Kauai
Hi! I have two suggestions: 1. To rename it to Evening in Paradise g 2. To crop a little off the top. IMHO, this way, the couple on the far back would gain in position so to say. It would be more prominent. And since the couple actually makes the shot, I think they deserve better placement. Unlike for Frank, this one really works for me. Boris ([EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED])
RE: PAW: Sunset on Kauai
Hi, Fred, I like it. I'm trying really hard to love it, but so far, I can't quite go that far. Seems that everything is there - spectacular sky, those gentle curved waves (very cool!), the couple walking on the beach, beautiful mountains in the hazy distance. But something just doesn't raise it that extra level for me, and I can't put my finger on it (but I'll try anyway g). Is it that tree in the foreground? Maybe it's a bit distracting to me. The couple is definitely a nice touch, but are they in the wrong position? I might like them a bit closer? Of course, I recognize that you didn't really have much control of where they were, although maybe you could have yelled, Hey, get back here and walk hand in hand again, I want another take!! vbg Again, I want to emphasize, I really like this a lot. It has amazing potential. It just doesn't push me over the edge (as so many of yours do). Now, I'll go see what the others have said (and likely look like an idiot in the process g) thanks, Fred, frank PS: of course, when you see a wonderful photo op, romance can wait. Good call there!!

One of the islands we visited was Kauai. This shot was taken one evening on the beach at the Radisson Kauai Beach Resort outside of Lihue. A warm tropic breeze was blowing, the waves were lapping the shore, and the setting sun was turning the sand golden. A perfect time for a romantic stroll on the beach but I was too busy taking photographs.
