that's a breathtaking photograph of the beach. i'm sure that seagull was enjoying it as much as yourself. hope all is well. have a great day.
ReplyDeleteNaquillity, it's good to see you. I hope all is well with you, too. :)
ReplyDeleteOh Lynda this is beautiful. I know about big no no, but I still shoot against sun, sometimes I get some amazing results. Yours is surreal! Anna :)
ReplyDeleteANNA - Like you, I will continue to shoot into the sun. I love the "silver linings," even if they're photographically incorrect!
ReplyDeleteI think if we're going to look for the perfect white balance all of the time, we're going to miss a lot of shots!
I don't know jack about photography, nor do I understand some of your terminology in this post. But that first picture is spectacular! Screw the lighting rules.
ReplyDeleteCheers,

Some of my best photos were taken facing the sun and occasionally a bad one too - it works both ways and I think the rule is rather silly... That first photo Lynda is outstanding in every way. Bravo my friend.
ReplyDeleteCasey - It WAS a spectacular sky that lasted for well over an hour. Although the cloud configurations changed, the silver remained--and it was gorgeous. I felt as if the whole world were glowing. You could only get that effect with reflections on a long strip of water, as at the beach, I think.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you enjoyed the image. Thanks for your visit.
Janice - It does seems like a silly rule. I think it exists because such images, when printed, don't have the luster they have on a lighted PC monitor, and the blown highlights don't look so good, then, when printed on paper. Somehow the camera perceives the light differently than the eye does, and in those light areas, there are no pixels. So it's in the process of digital, I guess, that the impact of the scene may be lost. I'm wondering how this same effect might show up in traditional B & W photography. Will have to experiment when I get a chance, if I can find a film camera and get film for it!
ReplyDeleteHello Lynda,
ReplyDeleteHow're you, my darling?
Congratulations for such magical silver dreamy pictures :D. I absolutely loved them, that's how gorgeous they are.
There is something about the sky and sea that seems to clean our soul...
Big hug and xxx
Cheers
