Hi there, thanks for sharing them. #2 and #4 are truly keepers. The rest have lots of potential too. Cheers!

Lovely! I like them all. Care to share how did you get that all blue effect in #1 & #3?

Susilo 1 and Susilo 4 are the jackpot shots, to me. Well done!

Thanks, everyone....

Silvester: it's Siloso by the way.... the beach in Sentosa. It's not the badminton player's name ...

Barracuda, i'm glad you like it. The #1 taken during "blue hour".. several minutes after sunset, and I used "Landscape" mode in my D50, meaning put saturation into maximum. In case of #3, this was produced by setting the white balance into "Fluorescence".

wow.. thank Hazmee... I browsed through your website... you have a lot of nice pics in there.. I specially love your work on "Abandon house in Ubin" and your Punggol/HDR project.

Would you mind to give me some criticts on my pics?

I actually wish to continue this work on other Singapore's beaches...

Love the composition and quality of output. As for the post-processing, I wonder how is it without the foggy water... Generally excellent photo... :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Hi FND,

Thanks for the comment. The foggy water was not from Post-processing. It was simply created by long exposure. It should be think as a part of the pictures, to represent the "averaging of moment" or to reduce the landscape into "fundamental form". A lot of reading about this technique and philosophy behind this in the internet.... Without long exposure, we only capture a glimpse of a moment of 1/100 or 1/250 seconds....

yes, understood the technique to achieve the foggy water, my apologies as I did not phrase my question properly. Simply, I was wondering what is the output without foggy water, as a matter of comparison. Will I get a similar feel to the current ones. No doubt on the quality of your shots. Love your B&W.

Oh i see. I agree with you, without foggy water, we will have different mood. I don't say the foggy water is better, there will be different feeling.
I can imagine, at a high or normal speed, we will see, splashing water, ripple of seawave, sharp cloud or even catch some bird flying... maybe we will need different composition, in order to make it work...

Hi,
Thank for comments! As i mentioned on previous post in this thread, I used ND8 filter (Hoya) and Graduated ND (Tian Ya). The rest was post processing with level, curve adjustment, and color balance.
