Playing Around

A lucky shot. They were running around, as usual, so I only had to shoot. There’s a little reflection on the bottom . I’ve converted to b&w for more “drama” and impact. Channel mixer was the way to do it in Photoshop

Salir by Night

This is Salir do Porto reflection over the São Martinho Bay (near Alcobaça). Used a long exposure to smooth out the reflection on the water and used ISO 100 for more detail. Maybe you’re all wondering if I caught an UFO on the left side of the photo… nope, it’s a light on the top of a boat mast! The waves movement on the bay provided this effect.

Generations

My to female loves taking a stroll along the beach and watching the sunset. I’ve pushed the contrast and the levels of this one to enhance the reflection. As usual, converted to b&w using channel mixer.

Simply, Clara

This is Clara, my six year old daughter. The reflection on the waves was so strong, causing an heavy back light. There was so much contrast, leading you to think “oh, it’s another b&w”, but you’re wrong, the color it’s all there, the sun hitting the waves done that!

I’ve to stop planning ahead my photos, at the end I’ll improvise, anyway, I thought this week assignment was easy, but I was wrong. My last photo of the batch was taken Sunday night, I shouldn’t make this an habit.
