Dynamic Ocean Beach and Land's End

Lumix G5, Lumix 20mm f1.7

It was one of those amazing winter days a couple of weeks ago, in between the rain, when there was an almost perfect combination of sun, clouds, sand, surf, and reflections.

I must say that since I came back from our 2 month trip, I had an urge to do black and white pictures. I shot these two with the intention of making black and white images.

My previous session was with the D200, this time, I decided to take shoot the G5 with the spectacular 20mm f1.7 lens.

Which one do you like (and why)? I would love to know.

Warren, I like each equally. Your use of foreground highlights for me makes these images. They draw you into the image and bring you into the moment you captured. I find that often the foreground is not exploited and is often wasted space within the image, but these are beautiful in that they significantly contribute to the overall composition.

I like the first one for its abstract qualities. The clouds are full of daydreaming shapes, and the waves seem to have made a face there staring off to the left. It has a very timeless appeal.

I like both photos but the top one is my favorite. The tones are more even while still holding that complete black to light composition.

And now after Lea pointing it out. I see the face in the beach.

So now you have a face in a beautiful place. Cant beat that. =)

Yeah, after doing a lot of telephoto work with the 100-300mm, I decided to use my 14mm wide angle for a few photo walks. :)

I agree with Lena, nice framing and good use of B and W. So that is an equivalent 28mm FOV. I really like that focal length, wide but not too wide to distort the foreground.

I like how the cloud formation if following the lines of the pier.

Now you can take pictures of two bridges. Can you get a picture of the old classic bridge and the modern style bridge?

Dramatic Clouds Over SF Bay

Yesterday was the first nice day since the beginning of daylight savings time. It has been raining like winter lately even though we're now in spring.

This was taken from Crissy Field.

Bridge and Clouds, Seal Point Park, San Mateo

Lumix DMC-GF1, Lumix 14-45mm

The clouds shifted, and revealed an amazing similarity in shape between clouds and the bridge between Seal Point and Ryder Parks.
