Great sea scape, my favourite type of photography, i love these long exposure beach/rock shots. Good use of the filters, not sure about the Frame??

Geo (1245) 2005-02-20 14:30

Very cool. Interesting colours and great use of the light. Superb tripod shot.

tontonjc (6623) 2005-02-20 14:49

Splendide scéne. Ce dégradé de couleurs et la netteté font rêver

Bravo

didcreole (962) 2005-02-20 15:54

Great composition, this a marvelous shot. Well done. Unfortunately the sky is noisy and suffer of the jpeg compression, but it's not a big deal.

thebecky (688) 2005-02-21 1:33

Beautiful colours and texture, the blues give it a nice feeling of tranquillity. IMO frame is OK.

naret (826) 2005-02-21 6:12

Hi Ian,
Very beatiful beach. Your composition is very beatiful. The slow shutter speed create a beatiful effect.
Nice to see you here.

Hey Ian, looks like I missed out on something in Australia. Beautiful spot! The formations on the rocks are crazy too.

The only thing is: I don't really like the blue frame. I would leave it behind. The pic has enough colour now, as it is.

Take care :) Sarah

LCannon (2798) 2005-02-22 0:08

I think the frames are very complimentary of this lovely magical scene. It is so lovely, makes me think of unicorns and wizards somehow. I love the dark color of the sky and the various colors in the rocks. The POV is perfect I think and the rocks at the shoreline in the upper right look almost like a sea monster. Excellet!

Excellent capture Ian. Great details, light and colours.

Bonjour Ian,
Une composition originale avec de superbes couleurs bien contrastées donnent à cette image une atmosphère particulière. Remarquable.
An original composition with well contrast colors give to this picture a particular atmosphere.Congratulations.

I knew Australia holds wonderful scenery, and your shots can only increase my expectations :) Amazing photo, looks like a landscape taken from a fairy tale...

leschamb (371) 2005-02-22 21:03

This photo is beautiful.
The rock in the foreground is perfectly exposed. I'm surprised the moon can illuminate things so well. Very nice.

Clochette (8076) 2005-02-23 7:56

God, this is unreal.. As shot on an unknown planet. Really excellent, Ian. We have still a lot to learn (and to see) about your beautiful country. Thank you.

weswang (18247) 2005-02-23 13:11

Hi Ian, This is a beautiful shot with very sharp details. It is nice to see the ocean with the long exposure time. An outstanding picture.

ChrisJ (171822) 2005-02-24 3:34

Hi Ian

Wow! A superb result for this astonishing time exposure. I'm not sure about the pp layering in the sky. I suppose it's a personal preference, or an acquired taste. However, the graphism, colour, pov, sharpness etc, are all outstanding. Well done!

tityop (6225) 2005-02-24 11:40

Bonjour,
Je trouve la couleur de la roche magnifique ! un rendu des détails superbe.
tres bien capturé

Timecatcher (2513) 2005-02-25 2:33

Hi Ian

this is a really great great shot..~I just love the colors. You really have an eye for composition, light and colors and it shows in your pics that you are a true passionate. Please keep shooting. I love your work

singuanti (15250) 2005-02-26 21:09

good grief what an awesome shot. your focus, composition and saturation are all just so good. those ND filters seem to do an excellent job. truly great work!

jjbach (9326) 2005-02-28 9:43

Excelent night shot and a fantastic result!!
Magnificent colors, perfect clarity in the foreground!! Great job!

John.

Exceptionnel Ian. Encore une dans mes favoris. C'est splendide. Les couleurs sont fabuleuses. Merci pour le partage. Amitié, Patty.

Kolyamour (1760) 2005-03-05 2:12

This is fantastic photo! I like it very much! I understand why it is your favorite photo.

steveegg (418) 2005-03-06 13:48

This is a very satisfying composition with the line of rocks curving up and off to the right, the distant rocks to the left providing balance, the patch of sand and the moon as a final destination for ones attention.
Within this, it's the textures that seem the heart of the shot, with the fascinating and eerie rock surfaces and sea clouding from the long exposure. A shot to be proud of.

teta5 (1203) 2005-03-11 4:12

hello
incredible colors - especially shadows of blue. very good shot
Australia must be fantastic place.

A superb image Ian.. well done.. colors are wonderful.. and the landscape beautiful.
I am not too fond of the frame though, it's distracting my eye from the image , I would choose a neutral one..or white or black..

PLD_images (7149) 2005-03-14 9:54

Not much can be said here. Just wanted to add that I find this an wonderfull image.
Congrats.

donluicu (24741) 2005-03-17 5:10

Ian
this picture is really amazing...how can you get the foreground so clear and bright, by night??
The use of the tripod is really appropriate, the waters looks so smooth..
congratulations and thanks for sharing

Very good work.

flagman (298) 2005-03-30 4:08

Beautiful colours and nicely framed. I wonder if it's a little over-sharpened, though.

travelyurt (276) 2005-04-01 11:33

A really neat shot, and well-executed. The moon and darkness in the background and the lightness and detail up front really make it interesting. I like very much the softness of the water, too. I am not a fan of frames to begin with, so this one neither strikes me as good or bad. I just feel they take up valuable space that could be used to see the photo in better detail.

colinbrenchley (6431) 2005-04-03 11:29

Your long exposure shots of the sea are second to none. The detail in the rocks is superb.

Wonderfully surreal. An inspiration to learn more about filters.

ephemere33 (9743) 2005-04-04 18:42

superbe photo , excellente composition avec ces tranches de roches ...baignées dans la mer...la lune donne le plus bel effet bien rendu ...bravo pour ce travail...merci....amicalement BI

jinju (14265) 2005-04-21 23:54

I have to add this spooky photo to my favorites list. The blues are so deep. The moon is great but for me the star of the photo is the water.

davy (231) 2005-05-23 11:43

lovely colours and details in the fore ground, a great composition, Davy

sharkattack (268) 2005-08-21 7:50

Impressive ........

sarju (5324) 2005-08-26 6:28

for a person like me who loves low light conditions photography this is a fantastic shot ... but I had one question for you though ... How come the moon has come out without any twinkling effect .... is it because of the filter you were using ... your comments would be greatly appreciated
cheers .... sarju
PS: WOnderful pics in your gallery ... it was a pleasure to go through them

waysai (611) 2005-10-14 21:41

Clean and sharp. Composition and color are the best of your work. Amazing shot.

banyanman (7797) 2005-10-26 10:25

Thought I had critiqued this one before, Ian, but must have missed it. Another great example of your talent with the grad ND filters and PP. Pity about the compression problem in the sky, but that probably can't be avoided with a 200kb file size and so much saturation in the colours. Cheers . . . David

Tous les tons sont très nets,comme didier j'aurais mis un autre cadre
Amitiés Joseph

hamerek (466) 2006-08-30 6:29

For me the photo is absolutely amazing! It's like a scene taken from a dream. The strucure of the rocks contrasts with the mist floating over the water. Very good choice of perspective.

MLINES (12516) 2007-02-23 15:26

Hi Ian. Quite a surreal effect you have created here. Excellent POV and colours. This could be suitable for a national geographic cover. Well done. Murray.

benkrut (2407) 2007-03-04 14:14

Hi
This is my favourite of your pictures. Beatifuly captured rocks and sea. Your name doesn't lie - the picture is very sharp and clear. As someone said before - the frame isn't pretty. Black one would be more suitable for this photo.
Take care
Henryk

snowfalken (1116) 2007-03-06 13:34

Hello Ian,

This is an absolutely amazing photo about nothing! You proved that a real artist doesn't need much to create art. Of course, there is a beach, a moon and the sea in this picture but I bet there are many photographers who would ask "what should I photograph here?" if they were in your place. But you saw the beauty of the textures and colors on the ground and anticipated the incredible effect a long shutter speed would create with those waves. On top of all that, the rising moon creates just the perfect atmosphere to contemplate the magic view. By placing the horizon line high in the picture you show everything that's below it and follow the rule of thirds. Exceptional work of art! Very well done! Thank you!

With Friendly Regards,
Eddie

batalay (41261) 2007-03-20 16:54

Hello Ian,

I can only join the chorus of admirers of this remarkable photo, and many of your others in your gallery. This is virtually a surrealistic image of the moon above the surf in Queensland. The composition, texture, colors and definition are all first rate.

Well done,

Bulent

rajhema (1873) 2007-07-28 4:41

Very beautiful and attractive picture. For 8 seconds, the moon did not move. Its good. front side brightness on the rocks are little dramatic. Great one.
