Classic composition made even better because of the quality of light and the detailed planks on the jetty accentuated by the rain.

stunning! did you use a filter on this or was it done in ps?
Paul Pichugin replied
No filters or PS on this one, nothing but camera :) The photo is actually not far off what I was actually seeing.. just bumped the contrast a little and the saturation even less on my camera.

Paul Pichugin replied
This actually very close to what the real world did look like, all I did was bump up the contrast a little and the saturation a tiny bit on the camera, it’s not far off what it really looked like :) Thanks for the comment.

Gorgeous blue. Love how the jetty goes on forever.
loganhille
well done. how did you get up so high to take the shot?
Paul Pichugin replied
It was what I call a “6-foot shot”.. something I usually try and avoid.. it was a wide angle lense and just taken from my normal standing height.. I don’t usually take shots standing up properly..
Michelle Legg
congrats for making this onto the home page of Red Bubble!!
Paul Pichugin replied
Thanks Michelle :-D

Great shot and colour Paul, was the white balance set to tungsten for this one?
Paul Pichugin replied
I used a custom white balance setting, it was actually set well below tungsten level. It helped that there was a fair bit of blue in the clouds anyway though.
