Panoramics: Ronachan Bay

Photographers Comments
Sorry to post another panoramic, but here you go

We found this spot on the main road to Campbell Town, such a beautiful peaceful place too. It is also home to hundreds of seals. Will be returning there again, this time with me zoom lens

Hope you likes

Don't be sorry about posting panoramics - you know i love them!

This is another nice one, but it seems to be running away to the left a bit. The horizon seems to be sloping that way, but it could also be because the bay naturally leads your eye you off to the left.

It may have been better to shoot from a position a few feet to the left (on or to the other side of the boulders) looking out and along the rocks on the right of the scene (if that makes sense) as i feel this may have balanced the shot more. Shooting from a lower angle too, avoiding putting the horison in the middle of the frame would also have added more impact

Like i said though, i do like your shot. The colour (especially in the sky) is great, and it looks like a wonderful bay. I hope you don't mind my comments, as they are only intended as suggestions.

Hi Paul, thanks for taking the time to look at this one!

Am glad that you like it and after relooking at it, you are right, it does seem to be running slightly to the left - will rectify that in the edit.

I see where you are coming from in regards of the shooting angle, and again agree with you on this one, this will be something to look into.

Finally, I do not mind about your comments on my work, I appreciate them, otherwise how am I going to learn more LOL

ps. I cheated on the sky... LOL I adjusted the levels in the normal way, but I then added a new layer and using the gradient tool, applied a blue gradient over the sky and then changed the blend mode to soft light, just to give it that little punch trade secret is out now LOL
