Yanchep Lagoon, long exposure....

[marc russo]

Talk about going through hell to get a few photos. I lugged my camera gear across Yanchep lagoon bare foot cutting my feet up risking falling in the drink to get these long exposures.
Love to know which one you guys think is the best of the 4

#3 for me.

#1 would be my pick

#3 for me ...

Hmmmm

#3 followed by #4 for me

To my eyes, #1 & 2 have too much blur and an apparent out of focus centre area - even tho #3 & 4 also have an OOF centre, it does not seem so severe
It's all an "optical delusion" ... it may, or may not be the case

I prefer #3, but the oof areas in the foreground and to the left foreground look unnatural, was it done in post?

[marc russo]

Thanks guys for your CC. Focus was set up perfect. Blur is from the water movement and not so clear water. I plan on keeping only 2 of these. Im thinking 1 & 3. I am heading back next weekend to do some normal exposure shots. Will get some from up high to and different pov. Hope to end up with a nice set

You need some reef shoes Marc they'll protect those tender feet from sharp rocks. I agree about #1 and #3. I like the curve of the rock in #1 particularly. If the rock is ever completely above water I'd be tempted to shoot then to avoid the oof look it gets with slow water over it.
