Coloured boats

Coloured Boats Finding something which is red, green and blue on one photo turns out to be a major challenge. But I guess that is good, at least I had a fun time trying yesterday. I found a greenish boat and a blue/red boat and thought that would be the answer to tuesday’s photo.

With a bit of post processing of the sky, I think the photo turned out really well.

What? Again?

Wide angle boat You think you have seen this before? It is a photo I took today with my kit lens, since I wanted to recreate the wide angle look I have seen in some photos. I don’t get the fisheye look I had hoped for, but I learned a lot about wide angle and how it affects distances. If you compare it with the photo I took a while ago (right side) A boat in the winter . The boat in the foreground is almost the same size, I am somewhat closer to it on the left, but sort of same size. If you look at the boat out in the water though, there is a significant difference. The wider zoom makes it much smaller.

I think I like the wide angle shot (left) better of the two. The boat is sharper in it as well, but I think that has to do with my focus point, since I do believe that my prime lens in general is much sharper and better image quality compared to the kit lens.

The same boat

A boat in another light I am posting the same boat again today, and why is that? Well yesterday it was grey and cloudy. Today I walked in the sunset, and with clouds scattered across the sky. That makes a significant different photo, or at least it can. I wanted to check out if I could get that to show in black and white as well. This is the result.

The angle is different. I like the angle yesterday better, due to the boat in the middle of the fjord adding a lot to the photo. But that would mean no clouds in today’s photo.  I wanted a bit of a dramatic sky, so I enhanced the contrast a lot, and I figured I still have a way to go before figuring out the B&W conversion.

Another note I took is that I tried shooting Oskar with my 50mm today which focuses faster than my zoom lens, and that means a lot to the focus when he is running around. So I will be doing that more from now on. Unfortunately I kind of missed the high dynamic range of the him in the snow, so he turned pitch black on most photos.

Anyway, I have learned some things today. Hope you enjoy the result :)
