All the best to all of you for the new year!
And some time for c&c too. I tried a long exposure shot in Cape Town the other day. Please let me know where I can improve.
Last month we flew with Mango to Cape Town for a little holiday. We stayed at Table View, from where one has a stunning view of the beautiful Table Mountain. In September 2009, the Seli 1, a Turkish freight ship ran aground in the bay, and was still stranded there when we visited the area. It received some negative media attention because of fear of pollution should the ship break up, and indeed it actually added some eeriness to a beautiful sunset.
The photo was taken using a shutter speed of 20 seconds, f/11, ISO 100, 18-55 mm Nikkor VR lens, set at 18 mm
Kind regards,
Nick

Nick, it's getting increasingly harder to crit your images, but I'll enjoy commenting :)
The image of the stranded freighter is stunning! At first glance I thought the horizon was too central, but then I looked more carefully. I love the leading line of the water. I like the movement of light to dark. I like the ominous subtext. I love the colour...in short this is an image I would like to look at it for a long time (some people will still crit the image regardless for faults, but I have a theory regarding that...and if you were a published professional they wouldn't).
nice shot from the top too...but why did you get some ugly bloke to sit with Freya ;)
See you in a week's time
