Hi Nostromo. The silver sea shot was taken straight into the sunshine. You get heaps more reflections and twinkles if you look straight into the sun. The technique (called 'contra-jour' by the way, literally 'against the day') works well on anything reflective with texture (snow, block-paving) and it also works well in forests. If you put the sun behind a tree you get all the shadows kind of reaching forwards towards you and it draws you into the photo. The flip side is that it's really easy for the camera's metering system to be fooled and miss the correct exposure by miles. Digital makes this somewhat easier due to the instant feedback you get. That said, the Nikon got it absolutely spot-on with the first shot, so full marks to Nikon for this I think. I did a couple of others trying to silhouette something against the sea but I don't think they work quite as well. I'll add a couple to the thread to see what you think.


Thanks for the info Snapper. Am I right in thinking that you used the Nikon's 'Matrix' metering to take the reading? With such shots, you can always bracket your exposures by half-a-stop each and choose the best one. Of course, with Digital Photography, Exposure bracketing is very good because there is no wastage of film. Personally, I think cropping out the lowermost part of the frame (where you can see the grey sand of the neach) might imprive the effect even more.

Thanks Steve
We're staying at the "Turtle Crawl Inn"-as I said, I don't know it but it looks ok-we were hard pushed to find accomodation at Easter.Hoping for some good places to eat.Will check out Starbucks for the coffee fix! Would like to think some of our photos will be ok, but I doubt if anything as good as these!!!!!

I took this photo at Manasota Key at sunset but it is not a patch on yours. Think I will get some lessons from you next time we meet up Steve

Actually Ruth, this is a very nice photo of the sunset. The sky and the sun's rays reflecting off the water give an excellent 'golden' effect. Well done.

I'm with Nostromo. That's a gorgeous photo Ruth. I hope you have it printed, framed and hanging on a wall somewhere.

I'm definitely up for photographing some sunsets next time we are both here Ruth. I'll admit. It's tough work but someone has to do it!!
Steve.
