Northern Ireland Coast

[Dogfish_magnet]

When ever i look at landscape shots on the PC after taking them i never get the feeling that i taken a good shot:shake: they always appear lacking something and i don't know why...Am i just taking pictures with the wrong type of content ?, are the technically wrong ? or is just the lights too harsh. I'm working in Belfast at the moment but managed to get a few hours away on the northern coastal road.

C&C always welcome

Thanks - the first shot was one of the first of the day, taken in the morning using a CPL & ND grad - It may have done to good a job

I love this set and would be happy with it. I also feel what you feel when I come in from most outings. I get the odd shot that makes me go WOW but few and far between, and you end up lacking inspiration.

I actually like the first a lot, I love the deep blue.

Although you have a sensor spot

Thanks Gary, i also end up getting frustrated because i don't know why the shots don't work for me :shrug: yet with my macro stuff i can see whats wrong and go and re-shoot and get a shot I'm pleased with.

your having a 'a sensor spot' there's bloody loads of em - i too in a moment of madness tried to use a sensor pen to move a large piece of dust from the sensor and ended up with the sensor pen dumping 1/2 a ton of dust particles onto the sensor anything above f11 is a disgrace. i am slowly but surely building my confidence for a wet clean

Sensor spots are soul destroyingly frustrating.
Hey, those 1 in a million shots are what keep me going. Without them I would dump the gear of the pier, oh dear oh dear, have no fear, erm FFS spontaneous rhymes, whatever next? I think I am loosing the will to live

What a brainfart that was.

Number 4 for me, I like the colours in the sky ans sea and the composition is simple, but works very well.

Love the skies in all of them

Man on bride ( I mean bridge ) = Nutter

Nice one

Man on bride = Nutter

I'd be more worried about a man who wasn't.

I think you've hit your own nail with your critique Dogfish. They are good shots and without the luxury of time and perfect light, we all have to accept imperfect shots.

LMAO corrected myself i did

Great series like them all.. What area of Ireland were these taken... just for future reference as I think a visit is on the card in a few months..

I like those.
Brought back memories for me. I went to N. Ireland when I was 14, to stay with a friend. Recognise the Giants Causeway there, and the rope bridge; at Carrickfergus I beleive?

 

[eeverson]

Good set, Giants Causeway is one of those places I have always wanted to go!

 

[RobertP]

Some of those are very nice but that drop shadow and bevel frame effect is very distracting.

Thanks for the comments

Thanks Tony - i'd just crossed back across that bridge to take the shot - it just has planks of wood as the base and the whole thing bounces and sways as you cross it.

Shutterman - i followed the causeway costal Road from Carrickfergus around to Portrush very scenic and quiet.
the Rope bridge is at Ballintoy ,Ballycastle (Carrick-A-Rede) .

I like those.

Hairy - Just a bit further up the coast at Ballintoy

It was for me also but it was a bit of a anticlimax - the road that has been built just to ferry tourists on a bus from the carpark to the causeway spoils the whole place.
