Day 6 Outtakes

Anchor outside the Manly Harbour Boat Club (Home of MBTBC). The MBTBC was the old Moreton Bay Trailer Boat Club.

(This was my "security blanket" / safety shot)

Really nice lighting - did you have to do a lot in post? It's even more impressive if not ...

M.

Thanks Matt. I took three or four shots of different views, varying the exposure. On both chosen images I made some post adjustments to exposure, black level, contrast, clarity, I don't think I raised shadows, nothing extreme. Also cleaned up some small dust specs in the black. I've been trying to get as close as possible to "done" in camera, but I can't quite get the look I want. Still more experimenting.
 
I like this straight on angle better but I didn't have things quite symmetrical on both sides. Also, one of the things I don't like on the 14mm lens is how the edges distort making the two outer candles holders appear to be leaning in. Not really the best lens for this setup which wasn't a surprise. I usually use this lens when doing close up or abstract stuff where plumb and level aren't a concern.

My Day 7 entry was a picture of the Millenium Footbridge from early in the day but of course you're never the only one doing that as seen below, in fact once it gets to golden hour it's elbow to elbow with photographers. Plus I was met with a sight I knew I was going to see, a sunbather on the River Thames (??). People do this along the Seine in Paris too and it's really not something I would recommend.
