[QUOTE="jp4294, post: 232072, member: 17467"] Hi guys, Today I went for a drive around and ended up by the beach and thanks to the howling winds, the sea was really messy and rough and I thought I'd try and work some magic and get some long exposure shots of water running off the top of this wharf/pier/breakwater thing. Annoyingly, I couldn't get a long enough exposure thanks to me not owning any ND filters so I went for plan B and tried to get some photos of the crashing waves. Unfortunately, the wind was blowing the spray onto me, so, not wanting to harm my precious (to me anyway) D3100 with salt water, I called it quits and hoped for some half decent shots. I put them onto my laptop and was annoyed by my lack of skills because someone more experienced probably could've pulled something cool off where as I'm stuck with these dull, boring photos. I tried my best at fixing them up in LR but I had to resort to B&W to get anything decent looking. I'm not saying B&W is bad at all, I just wanted nice photos in colour. The colour ones are unedited while the B&W ones have been fiddled with. ISO 100 24mm f/4.0 1/250 sec [ATTACH=CONFIG]62654._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]62653._xfImport[/ATTACH] ISO 400 40mm f/5.6 1/250 sec [ATTACH=CONFIG]62656._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]62655._xfImport[/ATTACH] ISO 200 36mm f/8.0 1/60 sec [ATTACH=CONFIG]62658._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]62657._xfImport[/ATTACH] Now, what I'm wondering is, (assuming you get boring shots like these) what do you guys do with shots like these? Do you just admit defeat and bin them or do you try and salvage them and settle for some mediocre shots? Obviously you can't go changing every photo you have to B&W so what would you have done to these particular ones? (Please feel free to edit them yourselves to show me) Also, feel free to post some before and after shots of your own to show examples of what you can pull off in post. Cheers, Jaye [/QUOTE]
