Been trying mono seascapes for awhile now I think I may have finally done one I am happy with, shot at Portreath, Cornwall today.

Very underexposed which ruins the shot for me from the outset

Hi Gazza,

i agree this is underexposed. I took a little look at some of your on the flickr link and a few of them seem underexposed. Can i ask if you are using the camera in manual or aperture priority, and which picture profile you have?Cheers Phil

Agree..underexposed but no problem,you'll get to have another shot at this soon enough at this time of year. You need decent light too to get the shutter speed up without compromising the ISO or aperture and it looks like you didn't have much light. You must have a go at Porthleven too. I know a great spot for you which is safe if you're interested.

Hmm thanks for the feedback, to be honest I have adjusted the exposure in LR as I like the darkened image,perhaps I have been over zealous here though.

Yes I did Porthleven last weekend in the high wind

It looks a tad soft on my monitor as well as 2 stops under exposed.

Soft and underexposed, those blacks need controlling, a shame because there is a stack of energy.

If you shot this in raw, a reprocess may be abke to recover some of the lost shadows, a nice and powerful shot but as already been said underexposed
