Story Boards

Trying some storyboard techniques in Lightroom and Photoshop. I used a couple of Kim Klasson's templates for CS and one of my own. Not really storyboards in the true sense of the word - rather a collection of like images.

I found lightroom a little cumbersome and not able to vary the size of the actual image in the box.

Once I understood about vector masking the process in photoshop seemed quite quick.

Refining the look and getting the boxes to look balanced might be another problem.

Blue

"Summer Blues"

"Blue Horizon"

"Cool Blue"

I used the colour temperature in the raw converter in Photoshop to alter the tones of the images to blue.

The "Sticks" at Port Willunga

An icon on the southern coastline of South Australia, the remains of the old jetty at Port Willunga is a must to photograph. Of course, getting the right light to do the old "stick" justice is the hard bit. All that is left of the jetty is a few uprights and a few broken stumps. The location is terrific with the cliffs and ocean and the sun setting on the eastern horizon.

I was down there early December last year (2007) trying to catch the light and practice with my reverse ND grad filter. These are some of the results.

Early evening just before sunset. I was quite taken with the green moss on the craggy rocks.


"Turning Green"
Same rocks just a little later as the sun has set. Different angle with slow shutter speed to catch the movement in the water.
Focal length: 13mm - Apature: f/18 - Exposure: 1 second - ISO: 100.
