Hi guys,
I went down to my local beach today and took a few shots as the sun was setting and would appreciate some opinions on them.
Thanks! Beth

have realised that the rock one is out of focus, uploaded the wrong image, i meant to attatch this!!
Beth this is from my Chrome Book.
They all have potential, to me. Which one is your favourite. Will look at on PC tomorrow.
Are you UK based, or further afield. Ed.

Yeah UK based, can probably tell by the weather. I like the one with the piece of scrap metal and the first one, but whatever seems to have the most potential to you!
Thanks, Beth.

#1,2,4 and 5. Straighten the horizon.
Tip : If you drag the whole window slowly down to the bottom, and use the pc frame to see the levels.

#3 I like this one. If you stop down (make the f/ no. higher, thus making the aperture smaller, the depth of field will be greater.)
You would most likely have the water drops in focus too.

Thanks - I am really not very good at post processing - all of the images i tend to upload are as taken just smaller sized file as can't upload the original jpeg. I will sort out the horizons and may go back to the beach to sort out the rock photo.

Thanks! BethSmile

I like it but the colouring seems slightly off? might just be my computer -
Thanks - BethSmile

Would you be able to tell me what you did with this? As I would like to try it with the original image - assuming you did it on photoshop - I have a free trial so should be able to do what you did.
Thanks, BethSmile
The Goodie, using Camera Raw, and, Tint/Temperature, you should be able to get as you want. Download my version, and go from there.
Artifacts, well I have no set procedure really, just use anything to get what I want to see, again, Camera Raw, can do a lot. But there are a lot of Filters etc, in Photoshop. Trial and error, and, Practise. Main thing is to remember and save with a different name, the processed Pic, DO NOT, overwrite the Original, if in doubt, work from a copy. I found that out the hard way!!
Sharpening, I use Unsharp Mask there are other ways, should be, to me, the last thing you do, with Image at 100%.
Cheers. Ed.
