A Few From the Gulf Coast - Please see #5 Crops
NOTE: Additional images starting with #6. C&C is much appreciated.
Howdy!
I thought I would make my annual appearance. Well, it does seem that way to me. Even with my new camera (Nikon D750) I don't get out to shoot much. I did spend a few days at the coast in January so thought I would share a few shots. I am pretty pleased with my new gear.
Appreciate any comments. Oh, and hi to all my friends--I have missed everybody!
Great Blue Heron feeding near sunset
Pelican gliding by - This guy came towards me and went right by. I think my new gear solves my sharpness problem
Sunrise - wanted to practice some silky water shots but it was really too rough water to work well. Still, I liked this one.
Sunset at Fulton harbor
Sunset at Rockport harbor - I was rushing to find someplace for what I thought would be nice light so I just pulled in and parked and set up my tripod on a short pier. About a minute later this is what I had.
Same as #5 with a different crop
Similar to #5 but I changed the coloring just a bit in post. It was also a different shutter speed.
Approaching Sunset at Rockport Harbor - same harbor but from a different location and about fifteen min earlier
Sunrise
Sunrise - same location as #9 but from the other side of the pier. I like the fishing boats in the distance

Hi Lauren! Nice work with the images! I like them all, but numbers 1,4,and 5 stand out to me the most. Thanks for showing!
Well done. Number 1 is my favourite. There are some fine feather details. The light in number 5 is great and you have avoided burnt out areas .
Nicely done! My favorites are 1 and 5.

What do y'all think about the different crops for #5? I want to order a large metal print but not sure which crop I prefer. Thanks for any input!

Lauren, keep original #5 with wider crop. The light, the reflection, the width, the depth, that is the one......for sure.
Very nice set of images. 2, 5, and 10 for me. 11 would work if the boat were headed the other direction, not running out of the frame.

Luck happens when preparation meets opportunity!
Gorgeous series. IMHO I would take # 7 (similar to #5), crop it and bring the boats up in exposure! The best of both!
