Pastel Colours Photo

Photographer’s Note

Rishon Lezion seashore in the winter.
This picture was taken after sunset when you can see the reminds of sunset colours in the sky and in the reflection in the sea.

As a result of 1/10 exposure, the sea is blured and combined well with the colours around it, I tried to catch some movement along to the seashore with the blurry surroundings.
It is very important in those kind of picture to keep something sharp and these buildings at the horizon are doing this job.

The picture was taken handheld with very little crop, hope you will like it.

I am trying to learn a few things about extended exposure shots and this pic and your note helped me. Thanks.

1/10s handheld. good grip ! with a tripod you could have stones much sharper. buildings in the far background are for me too small to provide sharpness. see my workshop

Very beautiful colours palette indeed and a very good composition with a nice blur effect caused by the aperture and time of exposure choice. This effect opposed to the sharpness of the sand in the foreground is amazing. Very well done !

Quelles couleurs ! les reflets sont aussi magnifiques et le mouvement de la vague sur la gauche est bien rendu.

Nice diagonal drawn by the shoreline. The colours of the sky are very soft and beautiful.

Les couleurs pastelles sur ce cliché fond ressortir a merveille la scene et montre ici une sensation de bien etre.
J'aime plus particulierement le reflet sur le sable.

Great shot Elroyie! Splendid colors, and a nice light sunset atmosphere created by the colors and soft focus.

NICE, Nice, nice, I like it! Subtle pink and blue.
BTW, I do not see what you see on my pix, I use PS 1998as embeddedporfile, maybe that does it. The monitoe at my work makesmost pictures dul, so I dont know what to do. Thanks for the WS to, I appreciate it. I will be moving to TN ost of the time, maybe only on on weekends.

This one is really great work, Elroyie. Not only for the supreme composition and the unique color setting, but also for the well thought-out technique that you explained in your note. I think you very much succeeded in rendering the atmosphere like you wanted to. Well done!

An evening on the beach, with very nice colours in the pastel.
Well done Elroyie.

Yes, I like it, Elroyie. The blurred sea looks so soft, and it goes perfect with the colors of the sky, and their reflection on the wet sand. I'd crop the people.
It is a great skilled capture.

The pastel colors are indeed very good...and relaxing. It makes the feel softer yet the details are very sharp. There's more to your photography than birds.:)

janwalt (263) 2004-07-28 0:46

Oh my, I have to add this to my favorites. the colors are breath-taking. The slight blurriness of the edge of the wave just indicates its motion - and hose pastel colors!! I really like how the sharpness is kept in the right side of the photo, the buildings and the details of the shore at the right. Just magical. Thank you.
