Hey, long time no 'sea' everyone! I've been in school, so I haven't had much time for photography. Since it's a semester break I finally had a chance to shoot a little.
You know how difficult it is to shoot in the snow when you wear glasses, and then also try and keep the camera safe from the elements at the same time while trying to focus on your subject that's moving! Although, this pic is a bit soft, I thought it added to the painterly/ moody feel, so I thought it worked out in the end.
Here's a paddleboarder riding the waves in a snow storm on the coast of Maine.
Benni and I headed down to Laguna at 8:15 this morning as the pest control man came to rid us of ants and spiders. Ants come into the house looking for water during a heatwave.
Benni found her favorite water and had a wonderful time in the little cove near Main Beach. Her "Benni's Beach" looked too busy with divers and paddleboarders so we found a little cove with no lifeguard! Yay!
Bird Rock in the background, location of my one and only free dive for an abalone. I pried a big one off the rocks to impress my boyfriend who turned out to be my husband.
The ultrasonic test train has been touring the highlands for the last two days and we managed to miss it on the Mallaig branch as he left 72 minutes early as we were still having tea, a rookie mistake!
I wasn't going to be caught out on the Oban branch, I went down three hours ahead of scheduled departure, had a chat with the crew and made sure I got to this location in plenty of time. In fact I sat here in this beautiful spot for over two hours with all kinds of potential issues: rain, a lot of cloud, mountains disappearing at the rear, wind and paddleboarders breaking the reflection and the train ending up being late ...
It all came good in the end with seconds to spare on the sun front, the tiniest gap allowing this great scene of a Large logo 37 back in the heart of the highlands, 37610 heading the 1630 Oban to Mossend Down Yard Ultrasonic test train, 37219 on the rear at Orchy viaduct.
Paddle boarding is becoming increasingly popular on our rivers, though yesterday was the first time I've come across it on a canal. Then I realised that the chap with the dog was apparently keeping pace with the lady paddle boarder, and was carrying quite a heavy backpack. She had it made! As we passed each other we exchanged a few friendly words and some meaningful smiles.
Shot taken early in the morning with "morning mist" and the sun. An early sportive man is already supping (standup paddleboarding) on this lake. I was just in time to take this picture as the paddleboarder appeared suddenly in the mist.

I was searching for the Definitely Dreaming theme of six when taking this shot but unfortunately I needed an extra bird. But I did like the paddleboarder going past the rocks where the birds were resting as the sun went down. Notice the white fog hanging over the city area.

I've previously uploaded an image from this location last October but came across a series of images on the hard drive I'd taken to form a panorama but never got around to stitching them... well here it is. A three frame stitched image in a 3:1 ratio.
Only had about 25 minutes at this spot as had to dash back into town to meet up with Mrs R for our evening meal and it's a surprisingly long walk back from here... the two blurred paddle boarders crossing the lake clearly knew the fastest route!
Made a collage of some of the 30 some girls out on their paddle boards.. They do it now because the water is too cold around Halloween. Just paddlers having some fun.

This curious paddleboarder contemplated the machinery rebuilding the pier at Dromana Beach. The scale of the paddleboarder and beauty of the sea on an early misty morning caught my eye. The pier needs rebuilding following storm damage to its the lower deck.
I just loved seeing this scene and felt the need to take this photo.
The layers of the glacier show how tall it is, how impressive and majestic nature features are. The amount of ice also shows how cold it must be out there.
Next to it, the two paddleboarders look like two tiny lost tourists in this inhospitable remote part of the Earth. From where I was standing, it already felt cold. I could just imagine how cold it must have been for them. And what if they fall into the water, how much colder may it feel to dip in this freezing water?

On a short road trip for the day, up to Whistler and back, going with a buddy to pick up something he left there by accident. This shot was taken in Porteau Cove on Howe Sound on the way back. It is about 30 to 45 minutes north of Vancouver if there are no cars on the road. So an hour to an hour and a half (or longer) on a normal day.
Brave souls or foolish. Yesterday I noticed these three way over north in the ice on the point and they finally paddled back and through the channel to the harbor. 41* out. Hmmmmmm.
likely you are all bored with these 'beach pictures' now. i am not.
i started to say that this is unprocessed, but as i thought about this image and why i like it so much, i realized that this is not really true. there was a lot of processing involved here ...
i saw the glassy ocean, the white hot sun, the paddleboarder, those specular glints on the face of a very small shorebreak, the blue of the ocean, the sky, the hazy horizon, hints of clouds far, far away, suggesting something more lay beyond. i processed this image in my heart. and then i went inside the house, picked up my camera, brought it to the same spot, set the exposure, framed the shot, waited for those specular glints, for the paddleboarder reaching up to shield his eyes from the sun, and pressed the shutter. then the film, the magical, organic, fine-grained emulsion responded to the light admitted, adding its own layer of post-processing to what i had already captured.
i mailed my film to a carefully selected lab on the west coast, near san diego, california. the film aged, ever so slightly as it made the journey from press the shutter to finish the roll to envelope to transport to the lab. and, at the lab, they processed my exposed film, imprinting their own signature on the scene, a few seconds more or less in the solution, and the image is changed, altered perceptibly.
the processed image was scanned, a very fine scan that preserves almost all the detail in the film, but a digital facsimile all the same, another layer of processing, noisiness. and then it was returned to me, where i revisited it, comparing it subconsciously to the image made in the camera of the heart, selecting it as something real, a memory to be shared.
what else needs to be done? a very light crop to straighten the horizon. done.
straight out of the camera, no post-processing. such a simple thing.

The sunset is getting earlier and earlier out here even though the Fall weather disappeared for a few days this week, reaching a high of 100 on Monday. The 7pm sunset last week at Venice became 6:44 tonight which screwed up my evening plans. I had hoped to arrive a half hour before darkness started to creep in but after taking the dog out and then checking the weather conditions, I realized the earlier time would mean I'd arrive just as the sun was setting and no time to get ready--assuming no traffic or parking difficulties.
A year ago, my obsession with long exposure was just beginning and I took every opportunity to go places where that was an option. In the Maryland countryside, it wasn't always tough to find a decent location for the sunset, usually with a backdrop of the catoctin mountains or thick rows of trees. What I rarely found was a completely unobstructed view of the sunset which is plentiful along the coast of the Pacific Ocean out here. The main difference is where my focus ends up. At home, I seemed to mostly adjust my focus towards the background, on whatever static object was closest to the horizon. In Southern California, I often will focus my attention on the foreground, trying to find an area midway up to the horizon since it's often the only non moving part.
Since being here, I've slowly tried to incorporate panoramas into my collection of shooting styles in addition to capturing the amazing reflections found on some of the flatter shorelines like at Venice Beach. My attempts at panoramas began simply because I'd never given them much thought and each time out shooting, I'd try to get a few more images that could be combined in lightroom CC. The main lens I use is still the 18-135mm kit lens that came with my camera. It's the most versatile lens I have and since I use a crop sensor camera, it gives me the biggest view. I started to realize though that even at 18mm, I was missing far too much of a great sky or landscape. I had zero idea how much photography cost when I began to learn in manual since prior, my camera criteria had been a good point and shoot with a large zoom so I could photograph my active dog. I'm effectively priced out of upgrading to a full frame and often it feels like I'm really limiting myself. I love my camera but it really bugs me that I constantly wonder how much better my images could be with a full frame. I've seen the comparisons online that show a border in a full frame shot representing how much a crop sensor camera cuts out. I know they purposely choose photos for maximum effect and it always works on me.
The only real solution is an eventual upgrade (which also means all new glass as well) but for the time being, I've been trying really hard to at least give more of a full frame feel by committing to 2 shot panoramas. It's obviously not the same, but when I can get the waves to mostly line up and then compare the merged 2 panel panorama to the single frame, the difference is enormous to me. Lately, I'll choose a quicker shutter speed and then fire off about 4 or 5 shots at each pivot in the panorama and then search in lightroom and photo merge for the best combinations and view of the bunch. The goal is to only need a few seconds of blending in photoshop to give a seamless look.
This photo is an example of that process and is a 2 shot horizontal panorama of Venice this past Tuesday. I overlapped these shots by about 30% and had an additional panel on either side just in case but they didn't match up well. Even so, I was pretty pleased with the result of this since I really didn't want to back up and mess with the symmetry but also didn't want to cut out any of the great sky and shore that completed this reflection. I set my tripod nearly flat on these reflective surfaces here because there's really no risk of rising water making it that far, especially any waves that would require me to grab my gear quickly. Not too far to the left would be the tip of Venice Pier and a bit to the right would be the actual sunset facing more towards Santa Monica. While I know there are plenty of differences between full frame and crop, the missing view is what bugs me the most at the moment and until I upgrade, this may be my indefinite solution. Of course I could also practice in portrait and shoot fuller panoramas like that but I'm OK with the 2 frame panoramas in landscape at 18-35mm. The biggest problem is long exposures where I often don't have the time or light to take enough shots to merge well. I'd rather fire off 30 shots in 2 minutes than 6 shots in 5. I'm sure when the cloudy skies become more consistent, I'll have a lot more time to work on panoramas using the 10 stop filter to maximize the view. I just really don't want to waste the limited cloudy days shooting in a way that gives me a low probability of success.
