Christmassy Huts Photo

Photographer’s Note

Something a little bit colorful and lighthearted...something like saccharine laden lollies or a fizzy drink which mask any bitter aftertaste and create the illusion of pleasant sweetness...but it does not last very long, the sugary taste...and is usually followed by a bitter aftertaste

My wife and I drove down to Edithvale beach and I spotted these interesting huts which looked nice in the sun and against the sky...for a bit of change of mood...a bit of sweetness

Hope you like it and feel the sweetness

Hi Kamran, you are really putting the 10-20 to good use here and the GND has given you a great sky. Great light. nice work. cheers, Steve

Hi Kamran.
You've done it again with that wide angle lens. These little boxes really deserve the distortion, which only enhances their colourful impact. You got yourself a good angle for this one, creating a pleasing perspective. The sky is superb and I like the sense of desertion about the place. I like the comparison with lollies, too. Nice one.
Regards,
Andrew

Hi Kamran,

I like this shot. The wide angle really stretches the image, making an interesting composition, leaving lots of room for the air. Great blues!

Ok Kamran, let's sugarcoat our lives for a while..can't hurt, can it? add to this a bit of Sunshine Pop and here you are. I like here how the ultra-wide angle twists perspective and gives a very toy-like feel to those cabins. Take it easy!

Hello Kamran, interesting & effective result, perspective combined with the distortion work very well here. The sky looks threatening & impresses.

Hi Kamran, I love the dramatic POV your wide-angle lens has created here. Dramatic skies and angles everywhere. You must be delighted with this shot?? I really like the texture of the sand against the texture of the skies. Brilliant job, Lisa.

Hello Kamran
The distortion is brilliant - just a pity there are some very ordinary houses in the background. Tfs, Marlene

Hello Kamran,
Brilliant colours and a suitable occasion for using a fish-eye. A very bright and catchy photo. I will take a closer look at your "gloomy" b&w pictures as soon as I've got rid of my jet-lag.
Kind regards,
Gert
PS is that your shadow I notice in the lower left corner?

Hey Kamran,

Superb use of the wide angle lens. I really love it. Otherwise a nice enough motive, with perfect PP work. Great stuff and TFS.

Best regards.

Hello Kamran,
I always admire shots like this with the use of GND, it results in great clarity especially in well illuminated areas. The distortion produced by the SWA lens produced excellent result, very dynamic feel about it. I imagine you were standing about a metre or less from the box.

I have never use SWA lens but I have been warned about getting your own toes in while shooting landscape.
Good work, Kamran

Cheers
Alfred
