Table Mountain – Early Morning

[Dave]

1DsII 50mm f4.5 1/250 ISO100 0ev USM Curves and Levels

I experimented heavily with shutter speed vs aperture, trying to get the balance between freezing the movement of the waves and getting enough Depth Of Focus. Without realising it, I had taken more than 50 shots of the same thing. Focus was set manually just behind where the waves were breaking.

Very good. I like the waves complementing the shape of the mountain. I think it looks slightly improved with a bit off the bottom so the sea-line is on the third (roll the shot down your screen to see). Good colours too.

Edit: No, I'm not sure about the crop - you lose the tide-line on the sand.

Comme ça?

Yes, I think that's better. You still have the curve on the shore-line. Very nice.

Fantastic shot, just goes to show it's worth getting up extra early for the right light.
