Pleased you like it Marvin – again another that I hesitated to load! Must be having a crisis of confidence I think …

Thanks for visiting Church Point with us Carol and for the encouragement!
Rosalie Dale IPA in reply to Noelene Davies’s comment, 3 months ago
Thanks Noelene – actually no rain – just very threatening and a couple of very unexpected claps of thunder thankfully!

Hi,
Stroms approuching are most time GR8 captures and this is one, I first said “ha “she got the horizon wrong , the when I look at the palm trees they are dead upright, how did she get that right.
So please tell me.
Rosalie Dale IPA in reply to Maximus’s comment, 3 months ago
Not quite a picnic Max, but the muddy shoes were worth the shots! I’m grateful for the positive comment mate. We’ll have to line up a date … !!!
Maximus, 3 months ago
New camera ordered, so will be wanting some excuses to show it off. :)
Rosalie Dale IPA in reply to Warren Anthony Williams’s comment, 3 months ago
I had trouble getting this pic aligned Warren as the boat is at an angle, the trees are straight and it leaves the assumed horizon line seeming to be wrong – I just went for ensuring the trees and rock wall were straight in the end! Will have to revisit and relook at the scene in person I suspect! Next time you are over … ! Thanks for the input.
mlgkats, 3 months ago
you are so welcome
ginnymac, 3 months ago

Thanks Dave – an adventurous touch of photomatix hidden in this one! Not too confident yet – more practise needed!
John Edwards, 3 months ago
Beautiful work. Lovely golden tones and great composition.
GailD, 3 months ago
Great comp. Simple, but effective. Love the colouring (processing). You’ll have to start puting some tutorials up youself in the forums.
Rosalie Dale IPA in reply to John Edwards’s comment, 3 months ago
I value your comment John – thank you.
Rosalie Dale IPA in reply to GailD’s comment, 3 months ago
It is so hard to put things down in tutorial form because it is different for every image almost!!! This (as mentioned to Dave above) was a mix of HDR from a single image, and fiddling curves in Lab Colour Mode. A bit of an experiment! Thanks Gail. There are a heap of other boat pics from yesterday so I’ll see if I can do it again!
Stuart Chapman, 3 months ago
Lovely control over the light and that is a magnificent cloud over and above the hill. Like the strong colours of the boat against the muted tones of the sea and sky.
Rosalie Dale IPA in reply to Stuart Chapman’s comment, 3 months ago
That boat was an idea subject Stuart – and the storm was a bonus (an unexpected loud clap of thunder almost ruined the shot!!) ... thanks for the considered comment.
johno4280, 3 months ago
Ah ha storm casers unite :)
Great shot Rosalie love the details/contrast in the clouds, will have to have a play in Lab colour now :)
Great shot
Rosalie Dale IPA in reply to johno4280’s comment, 3 months ago
There seem to be plenty of storms around this year John! Thanks for the encouragement – have fun in Lab Colour Mode – no matter what you seem to do in that mode, it seems to make a great difference.

George Petrovsky, 3 months ago
G’day Rosalie! When does a boat not become a boat? When you have seen it, captured, processed and presented it. Then it becomes a true work of art! Simply out of the ordinary.
:) george

A beautifully created and composed photo. Great work. Peter
Rosalie Dale IPA in reply to George Petrovsky’s comment, 3 months ago

Peter having seen your portfolio, I am flattered – I do appreciate your comment thank you.
georgieboy98, 3 months ago
I have a feeling we might be using similar cameras. I use and swear by a Sony DSC R1 with a 4x neutral density filter – how about you? Peter
Rosalie Dale IPA in reply to georgieboy98’s comment, 3 months ago
I have the ND filters but have only used them once (not on this one!) – and YES I do have the Sony R1 and it sure is a treasure! I wouldn’t cope with anything else I don’t think!!!!

Glad you like it Jase – it was an ideal spot for some storm shots with stacks of moored boats – take your pick!
richiedean, 2 months ago
Well …... I dont know how … but this one slipped through the net !!
I plum for No 1 Rosalie, purely because IMHO … the boat is very easy on the eye, laying there in a perfect position, complimented by the palms and the silhouetted hills beyond, topped off with that salubrious golden sky ….... just perfect :))
Rosalie Dale IPA in reply to richiedean’s comment, 2 months ago
Keeping up with the watchlist on RB is a full time job Richie – many seem to slip through unnoticed I find!!! Thanks for the great encouragement!
