one more shot i took today on my little drive to the sea. in real life the sea was bluer! i didnt get the color the way i wanted. although i didnt actually try, it was more of a point and shoot shot.
please advice on anything you spot |
Your problem with color is white balance ("WB"), which is almost always a problem with this type water shot. If you shoot in RAW then when converting to jpeg you can adjust WB by taking a point on a medium grey spot, like his hat or the bucket shadow (or whatever that white thing is to his left). If your software doesn't allow for that, then you can move the sliders, usually reducing the blue channel a little (RGB means Red-Blue-Green in case you didn't realize it). This kind of shot exemplifies why you should shoot in RAW. The camera almost always gets WB wrong in these conditions. You can still work with WB on a jpeg, but RAW gives you more adjustment range.
I like your composition here better than with the ship, but I would have probably gotten the whole of the big rock into the shot. You cut off just a little behind the fisherman. When you cut off a little it look unintentional, when you cut off a lot it looks like you meant it.
Keep it up.
