Braedene
Such a fabulous shot – fantastic orange tones, catching the waves as well. Superb comp- lighting wonderful.
Barbara Brown replied
Thank you Braedene! I’m always trying to capture different lighting.
Eva and Klaus ...
This is really a wonderful image! Did you play with different shutter speeds? The play of sharpness of the driftwood and movement of water works exceptionally well, not to mention the lighting. I guess it is what you would call being at the right place at the right time (and of course having talent and the right equipment too)!
Barbara Brown replied
Thank you Eva and Klaus. Yes, I tried it from different angles and exposures. Was just hanging out waiting fr the sun to set in the ocean and seeing what interesting things I could find.
