Windy Day On South Beach Part 2

Well, I'm getting a bit more used to the new camera and its capabilities. I took a load today and got some nice results. I had to set up a load of new PhotoShop actions to process them so I took the opportunity to put some new and less intrusive name tags on the picture.

The colours are a bit less impactful than the Minolta, but they actually look quite good - nice earthy greys. Unlike the Minolta though, they look better without being run through the levels filters, so other than shrinking, sharpening and tagging, the images are all pretty much as they were taken. No cropping or fiddling. Nice and easy - just how I like it.

Today was wonderful, the light was crisp and ever-changing. There were lovely big grey clouds, and they're the star of a number of the photographs. The beach was windswept as well, trails of sand blowing across the beach. You can just about make 'em out in the video. Here's a selection of the stuff I shot on South Beach this morning. We actually ended up back down there this evening. Was nice and chilled - sat on the beach watching the tide coming and enjoying a late spring evening. Magical.
