[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Hello everyone,

This time I posted my first Filter trial, This photo was taken at the Jumeira Open Beach at Dubai around 9am. Sky was a lil overcast at the other side covering the sun so I tried to use the my filters and see if I can soften the water a bit though you cant really see big waves around the rocky area of the place.

I went down with a friend on the breakers with big rocks and settled for the lower ones to see water flowing in and out of the rocks set my tripod on a slippery rock and tried to see if I can make a good composition on my viewfinder. Ok imagine for me to get this I have to fit myself on a smaller rock and lean on a bigger one and bend my body just to look at the viewfinder. Just when I realized that photography is getting harder LoL. Since my filter holder can stock only up to 3 filters and I have only 2 to fit the size and my friend have 2 more thats a lil bigger we tried to see what we can do.

So here's we did it I put on a CPL, then attached the holder with an ND8 and a GND4 on it, and its still a lil bright we can only take the shot for 2 secs before it over expose so I borrowed my friends filters 1 of them is Blue and the other Grad Blue. Held them with my fingers in front of the other filters and adjust at 8 secs. And since my hands are all occupied I changed to remote option and asked my friend to do the triggering.

Going back on my bending position looking at my viewfinder I adjusted the filters which I am holding so no finger or spill will be seen. And shouted FIRE! my friend pulled the trigger and snap! Now here it is not so good but still I am happy with my first Filter shoot!

PP: cropped, adjust levels, sharpen, add frame and name then resized for TL.

(The Pinkish sky was a result of the filters doing colorcast, I think theyre fine for now.)

Thanks for reading my novel LOL! Hope you like it. Please feel free to write critiques and do Workshops.
