Beautiful Metro, what settings did you use for that shot? Love how the Sea rolls over the stones near the front of the shot.
Im going on a guess here and saying you use a cokin purple shaded sky filter and a wide aperture for the sea mist effect

You got a bigger image of that like widescreen or something, that would look epic as a desktop background on my laptop

I shot at sunset to get the color in the sky and used a 2 stop Lee soft GND and a circular polarizer. I won't touch the Cokin filters because I think they are garbage. I did add a little color to the sky because I didn't get the cast that I wanted, but I have since gone in and softened the saturation because I didn't think it looked too natural.

In terms of tech specs, it was shot at f/22 with a shutter of 1/6 of a second. If you want to capture water, I have found that a shutter speed of 1/8 to 2 seconds is great at capturing the movement, however once you get to 1 second you start to lose the detail but keep the movement. Also shot at 18mm perched on a rock away from the sand since the water was pretty much right at my feet and slowly creeping higher since the tide was starting to come in.

Here's an edit to show you some of the progress I have made from the other:

In terms of high res, I don't make high res available because it makes it easier to steal artwork and print it for personal use. Nothing against you, just a general principle with stuff that has happened in the past.

metro: That's a beautiful shot. Has it snowed yet in Beaverton?

crazzy88ss: Great shots. You're right, the expressions the players give are "intense". I can't say I haven't made a face like that while dunking. The guy in blue (pictures 4 & 5) is hilarious.

It doesn't really snow much here at all. We tend to get freezing rain and ice storms more than anything in this area which I think is worse, especially with the idiots on the road. In my home town, we do get snow but generally it's not too bad. There were a couple years where we had a constant 4 feet in our front yard. One winter when I lived in Southern Oregon, we had almost 10 feet in our front yard. The porch sat about 15 feet high so we jumped off the porch into the snow until it got packed enough for it to hurt on impact. It was fun as hell. We also built a HUGE snow cave with the snow that had been plowed since we had about a 20 foot tower along the road in our backyard on the road. It was such a fun winter that year. I'm so glad I was a kid back then.

Are you using one flash with a green gel, because i see a slight green tint on one side of the players?!

I have two flashes with green gels on each to balance for the fluorescents in the room. I don't know what I did this game, but it's showing up on the players a little bit :( Normally you can't tell.

Could be colour cast from ambient lighting - fluorescents cycle into the green spectrum on a 50/60hz frequency.

Yeah was going to say because in your other shots you cannot tell, maybe they are set at more powerful flash?! so its shown up more?

You really like that spot, huh? :p

It's really relaxing to sit on a park bench, anchor a weight to the tripod, lock the shutter cable, and just watch the city move. I haven't done it in a while and it was time. I just wish I could have caught the sunset we had a few days ago. Darn.

    • Why you need to take back control of your synced passwords and how to go about doing that

      By Steven P. · Posted

      I hear you on browser password manager, in my case I have two Google profiles, one was created when Google decided to grandfather us out of Workspace for Domains (with the replacement being too expensive for 25 users) resulting in my domain email address no longer being able to be registered to a new Workspace I created (for myself and another co-owner) so I could use Takeout and sync over some stuff to the new Workspace. Then I have my personal Google profile which I could be logged into on my desktop or Mobile, so I am saving passwords on one or the other, and when an URL changes another password for the same service gets added, it basically ends up being a giant mess. Unless I missed something is there a local decent password manager that can override the browser password managers for Chrome, Edge, Firefox (profiles) so that there is only one vault, and does that also support Passkeys (which to me are still confusing because sometimes it will ask for a Passkey on a phone I am no longer using!) Microsofts implementation of Passkeys is the worst!

      It's utterly baffling that we have no idea when we'll get new features even well after they've been released. Why Microsoft thinks this is a good rollout strategy is beyond me.

    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      By M. Murcek · Posted

      I owned a lot of Soundblaster cards over the years all the way back to the ISA slot era. I use a Soundblaster X3 external now because I'm able to run it through a KVM and have it follow the machine I happen to be using. It drives a set of JBL 305 powered monitors wonderfully. I'm not gaming or doing home theater through it, so rear channels aren't a consideration for me, though it does have side / rear / sub outputs.

      By TheGhostPhantom · Posted

      I disagree that using browser based password managers is a bad idea, your passwords are encrypted by the OS password, but they also be synchronized to make them helpful. I would also use a password manager extension that supports MFA TOTP and Passkeys to manage the account that synchronizes the data. Ente is 100% free and allows you to vault important information, has password vault support, and supports 2FA TOTP support, I just don’t believe, it has a browser extension.
