    Some Beachy Photos for C&C



    Hello everyone! Summer's on the corner from where I am and I was able to have some chance to go out of town with my family for an early summer treat. I was able to get some creative photos (I think) and I was hoping if you could shed me some light for the following photos.


    Thank you in advance and thank you too for viewing. Please click on the images for a larger view.


    18-55 @ 55mm, f/5.6, 1/400s, ISO 200, probably around 10 am, these are washed up dead seaweeds (Puerto, Ilocos Sur, Philippines)





    On another beach (Bangui Bay, Ilocos Norte, Philippines)on another day around 2pm: 18-55mm @ 55mm, f14, 1/320s, ISO 200





    On another beach (Pagudpud, Ilocos Norte, Philippines) on the same day around 5pm: 18-55mm @ 23mm, f 5.6, 1/2500s, ISO 200 -- By the way, second try to shoot sunset, first was in the afternoon of the seaweeds photo but didn't find anything interesting about them. []





    Last one for today, 18-55mm @ 29mm, f/5.6, 1/1250, ISO 200





    Your C&Cs are very much welcome! Thank you again.
    Cheers!

    I think those are fantastic Mr Greenbug. #s 1 and 2 are my favorites, I think you do a nice job capturing the beach/island spirit. If there was more time #2 would be a great entry in the "assignment 6" thread.


    KSO (Keep shootin' on)

    Thanks Brendan! It was a nice experience to have different beaches to take photos and really realize that one beach is totally different from another. []

    Very nice collection. I must admit, I thought the pictures kept getting better the farther down I looked. I think the second picture would look great on the cover of the annual report for energy company who owns the wind turbines. That said, the last picture would look right at home in a vacation brochure for a hotel. "Come, stay, relax--there's a hammock waiting for you."

    Thanks Denise! I'm still in the process of maximizing the capabilities of the "kit lens". [] I hope when I am able to meet the limits of the "kit lens", I'll have enough dough to get me some new glass. []


    For the mean time, it's shooting time..

    Great pics!! The 2nd and last are my favorites. The hammock makes me want to clean out my savings, quit my job and find a beach to lay on for a month!

    Thanks Matt! I guess everyone would really like to relax on the beach and have some break from all our busy lives.

    Thanks JJ. I'm glad that you liked them all. I'll say that those are my best shots from my short vacation with the family.

    More sobering proof that gear doesn't do everything [:P]


    brendan


    Thanks Brendan for the kind and encouraging words. I'm just making the most of what I have and pushing it's limits. I still consider myself a beginner and reading through the posts here have really helped me improved my photography.

    Number 2 is well composed and has good depth, colors are rich and natural.


    Number 4 is where I want to be when the Scandinavian winter feels to long :-)


    JR


    Thanks JR! Thank you for your comments on photo 2. Everyone would love a little heat sometimes. If any of you guys visiting my country for summer (March to May), you know where to go and maybe you can tag me along so I can learn more from you all. []


    Again, thank you for all of your comments &amp; observations. I appreciate it very much! []
