The Beach (46)

This has been added to my Fisheye theme.

The fisheye is a lens I fall in and out of love with, I think because I do not know the best way to use it...all suggestions gratefully received.

This was the beach by our resort when we went to Phuket recently. Spent a wee while messing about with the fisheye lens and I quite liked the feel of the surf rushing up to meet me.

I wanted to try something a little different, hence the b/w conversion. I have posted the colour version as a workshop. I'm not sure which I like better...would be delighted to hear your views!

Sorry, not really much else to say about this shot, it's not much more than a holiday snap with a wee bit of pp work.

Shot in RAW, converted, resized, sharpened and frame added. Changed to b/w.

Layers etc
Edited by:deanophotos Gold Star Critiquer/Silver Workshop Editor/Gold Note Writer [C: 209 W: 14 N: 395] (2630)

duplicated layer, multiplied and set opacity at 50%, duplicated again and set opacity at 25% then finally neat imaged on a strong setting to get a bit motion in the clouds and slightly resharpened.

Let me know what you think.

Dean.
