Photograph and Camera talk

@goosehd I have to think that they must have because I had zero problems posting these,and if that’s the case maybe reach out to Twin and let him know,as I’m sure it would make him happy.

These are awesome @Jett129
The water has that interesting yellowish color which which I really like. Much more pleasant to the eye than green water against a blue background if you know what I mean.

@weftyarn These were taken early in the morning and the Sun was right in my face and lighting up the wave like that. Sometimes you can see the water behind the waves and it’s really sparkly. The pictures where the sky is blue are from later in the day.

@Jett129 Fantastic shot!

[Jett129]

Thank you,I was watching the guy,and I was definitely a little bit hesitant to take it. I only took 2,so this was the one.

Beautiful shots @Jett129

[Jett129]

@motojobobo Thank you so much!

@Jett129 Amazing pics and even better since they are local.

My fave…

…the chunk of solid yellowish ‘ceiling’ of water is something else.
Ermmm, not that citizen of a land-locked country is much of a judge on sea water.

@motojobobo Thank you. If the wave wasn't all around him then he'd have been a silhouette,and that's what accounts for that color. And instead of trying to minimize the yellow,when editing, I leaned into it.

couple more amateur efforts from myself taken at @Graham's birthday party:

Posting this so @weftyarn and @motojobobo can see what the lighting was like and why the wave had the yellowish color.

[Jett129]

One more where the sun is backlighting the wave.

[weftyarn]

Awesome, absolutely love these!

[Jett129]

@weftyarn Ironically,some of the surfers have complained that my pictures are too tight and I should zoom out more,while some of the other surfers told them you should shut the fuck up and be happy someone is taking pictures of you. If possible I want to see the surfers face. They want more of the wave etc.

[weftyarn]

Oh man, how can you complain about something you’re neither paying for nor having asked for. Like giving constructive feedback is one thing, but complaining? I will never understand it.

[weftyarn]

Finally got to look through all the Hamburg shots.
We had some B&W already, so here’s a more colorful 35mm dose:

@weftyarn I send all the surfers,who ask, their pictures for free. They occasionally offer me money to which I always reply…Just do something nice for someone else. One of their suggestions was that I include some of the scene/people/umbrellas etc. on the beach. They know absolutely nothing about photographic composition. It would be like me telling them how to surf. Most of the guys are super nice and appreciative.
