The other side
Another one from a fair while ago that I've only just got around to processing. There was a stunning sunset going on over the left however I wanted a shot of the bridge at high tide so I was shooting out into the cloud (I know where did that stuff come from!).
Anita, you would have been impressed, I'm knee deep in water in my waders here, my primary camera was on a tripod in the water taking this LE shot. My primary camera being my new Pentax K30 at this point, and my K200D which had done me proud for a good few years was acting as temporary backup. I'd always wanted to have two cameras so that I could shoot LE with one and use the other to grad other shots. Anyway it was a little bit difficult trying to do that knee deep in water... so I did get some hand held shot of the sunset which I may or may not post as I'm not convinced I like them.
The thing is I don't really like doing anything that isn't LE as I enjoy the smoothing out of time and features you get in LE work whereas the sunset shot I've got I feel just looks like a mess. I might just post it for a laugh or I might try doing something to it in photoshop, faux LE.
Talking about the K30, I paid £500 for it and then about a week later they dropped the price of it and also started giving away a cashback. So I was able to buy a second one for £320. By my reasoning I was averaging it out so it was roughly £400... not bad considering the prices I see for some of the Canikons. So I've now got two pretty decent cameras and no need to change lens so I'm hoping for less of that pesky dust!
