    More from the Beach

    My few days of playing on the beach in the evenings seem to have come to an end with heavy rains again but thought I would share these for those in colder climates

    Stunning Grahame.

    #1 and #4 are my favourite, great cloud formations!

    I'm not so keen on #3 with that out of focus foreground but the others are excellent.

    Thank you Matt, I had been watching the cloud formations in that area for almost an hour and had anticipated it was going to be one of those special times.

    Thanks Geoff, some times it's grab what you can. I shot No 3 from the shade of the bus shelter as I was getting a bit burnt up

    I still like #3 despite that out of focus grass. If that is cropped off, then the view here is really very nice. The first one is my second favourite because that lady was trying to shoot in the light. I wonder how successful she was there? My first favourite is #2. Now that is an excellent shot. I love the composition here.

    Hi Izzie,

    I too love No 2 as you can just sense how much fun these lads were having.

    Many people stop whilst having their evening walk or jog along the sea wall here and snap a pic with their phones or do what the two girls are doing. I often wonder how those pics turn out.

    Very nice Grahame, you are getting good at this land or seascape thingy I like them all, the only thing I would change is crop a little bit of the top of #3, apart from that mate very well done!

    Cheers David

    Hi Grahame Very nice shots indeed. I loved #4. I agree with David about the crop of #3.

    Re: More from the Beach

    Very nice series Grahame. #2 is just great and I agree with taking the top off of #3 as David suggested. I really want to love #1 but I wish we could see more of the second person or none at all if that makes sense.

    Re: More from the Beach

    Grahame, I'm with the majority here, #'s 2 & 4. #2 works really well, especially like the way the water, kicked up by the kids has a golden/amber tone to it. Perfect timing.

    David, Binnur, Shane, Jack, Kaye and Paniaa

    Thanks for stopping by and commenting, much appreciated.

    I have another couple similar to No 2 that I still have to work on but this was the best for positioning of the kids.

    No 3 I'm not sure about cropping the top as I find in a way it balances the foreground and perhaps more importantly to me defines the location

    No 4 was one of many great cloud formations captured on the same evening, I got around 40 shots just sat in the one position enjoying myself pressing that shutter.

    Hi Grahame,

    Indeed a wonderful set! I love the gorgeous sky/clouds, and the rim lighting in the 1st but my absolute favourite is the 2nd image... Just especially special (happy times, sheer exuberance and one can see the smiles) set against a gorgeous sunset sky.

    Hi Christina,

    Glad you liked them, I also had fun taking them It's the little guy on the right with his mouth open that makes it for me.

    I PPd all these in my Photoshop CC trial but it now looks like I'm forced to go backwards as Adobe will not sell their product to me because of where I live

    Grahame, I'm suprised to hear that Adobe doesn't sell PS CC in Fiji I don't think PS CC is very different from CS6 version. May be you can get CS6 instead of PS CC 2014 because it is not sold on subscription basis.

    Not a good idea purchasing CS6 at this time Binnur when you don't know how long support or updates will occur for and at a price equivalent to 6 years CC use with full support and upgrade.
