This would have been an excellent picture if the damn boats didn't rock in the water. I've tried to sharpen it some (which helped a little) and Topaz DeBlur (which I can't get to really work at all)...but it's the best I could get it.



I should see if I can take that boat out all together.

boat on the right looks like it's moving fast just sitting still...

any way to take down the exposure in the foreground a little? maybe do like Mark does and do a soft light layer that you paint over...

that's kind of a sexy shot.... it's like a girl wearing a low cut top, it lets you see a little, but not too much

^^^^Agreed. Nice shot, Matt. Simple and elegant. Nice.

couldn't save the blown out area on the right sadly, but i managed to equalize a few of the exposures around the picture other then that.

Thanks, guys!

glad you shared, I've been running out of things to shoot in my apartment with all the rain we've been having, so i'm going a bit stir crazy... so maybe i'll start shooting all my lenses in different scenarios...

The soft light at the end definitely helps...

i should have tryed a hard light over the blown out bit.... may have helped.... oh well.

It's a neat shot.

I tightened up the boats a bit and toned down the exposure in the foreground. There might be more you can do with the RAW files. Blur usually manifests itself as a ghost image just past the edge of the actual object. Sometimes, as in the case of the boat, you can zoom in really close and paint out the ghost lines using the surrounding colors. Doesn't work with faces, but it can save solid objects like the boat.

nice shot Matt. One thing that bothered me is the black vertical line in your bokeh. Perhaps that's the corner of a wall? Either way, maybe it'll look better if you clone it out.

[The1]

i've been painting..... maybe a little overkill.... i could probably bring the exposier up a tad, but i'm done for now

Pull down her pants, I want to see what kind of goodies she has.

Good idea for some indoor work.

Made a 10 mile race on a very windy road to get there with two minutes to spare, hence the light post.
I took three exposures and will try my hand at a HDR of it.

I must have one dirty lens.

That photo has great potential...minus the light pole...and the red spot right on the grills...LOL But I do like it!

agreed, might be able to pull the pole out of there though.... just ask Udub how he pulls poles out....

Slowly, very slowly otherwise it might get messy

haha.... reminds me of the girl i'm sort of seeing, she does x-rays and berry enema's(or some other name....) for a living, and with the old people it can get kinda messy if you're not careful apparently.

there's accidents around the office once in a while where people get covered.

Barium and probably comes out like this.
