Post by: Jack Dahlgren on June 02, 2021, 01:18:51: I ventured out this weekend to catch low tide at a nearby beach. Due to the California Current the beach is often cold and foggy. Fortunately my companion brought a fur coat.

Extreme low tide also means extreme high tides. This has swept the beach and pushed some sort of sand bug high up the beach where they dig through a layer of black iron sand, bringing it to the surface.

Title: Re: [Theme] At the Beach
Post by: Birna Rørslett on June 03, 2021, 13:03:28: Well, Jakov or no Jakov, let's soldier on with more beach scenery.

On a late autumn trip to the Lofoten Archipelago, Arctic Norway, I snapped these kids frolicking in the ice-cold waves rolling in from the Arctic Sea. Water temperature could not be much above 8C - it was really *chilly*. Not that such insignificant details deterred them. In fact, they came running straight onto the beach stripping their clothes on the way and went straight into the waves.

I had been shooting IR with D70 which was not modified, thus had a completely black, opaque filter in front. I just had removed camera from the tripod thus shot straight from the hip and hoped for the best, despite late afternoon and low light levels.
Title: Re: [Theme] At the Beach
Post by: Birna Rørslett on June 03, 2021, 13:16:37: A few years later I visited the same Lofoten beach again, still late autumn, and now had our esteemed NG Crew member Jan Anne as model. Thus I could make the setup more elaborate and some times even direct him to the desired spot on the beach. I had to jump into the water myself to convince him this was ""pleasant"". With my modified Nikon D5300-IR I could at least see what I was doing.

This was the preferred result from that session. Many other frames were OK, but this had just that little extra, I think.

There should be no need to change the working profile - like you, I use Prophoto. When saving a jpeg for the web, just change the embedded profile of the jpeg to sRGB.

Photoshop. I drag them into a PS window and the box at the bottom left of the screen can be adjusted to show the colour space. This is purely for research purposes. I have no intention of infringing your copyright and I do not keep the images on my computer.

Post by: David H. Hartman on July 26, 2021, 19:16:40: I shoot with 14 bit Nikon Adobe RGB in camera. I set my work space on an old version of Photoshop to sRGB as this seems to display colors well with my LCD(s). However I continue working in 16 bit Nikon Adobe RGB and save PSD(s) that way. When exporting to JGP I duplicate, flatten and convert to sRGB and 8 bit.

This isn't a recommendation it's just what I do.

Nasos, not necessarily. I believe that the contrast is part of the image and should be adjusted according to the intention. I think that the contrast you set is appropriate for this particular image. :)

IR with my old D70 and the even older Nikkor 28mm f/3.5 lens. No LiveView so I didn't know the field of view and as this was the first shot in a series, it is on the blurry side. However, the kids were so well positioned within the frame I opted for this instead of the later and sharper exposures.

Scary indeed, it would seem that this croc may have been chasing turtles nesting on the beach. At the moment the water is warm enough for them to stay in, they don't need to land to warm up in the sun. The beaches here in the far North West remain pristine, patrolled by crocs, sharks and stingrays keeping pesky humans away!

Beautiful, those shots of Scheveningen in 1989.

I visited the beach in those days frequently as a close friend worked there. Brings back memories.

It would have been a Fujichrome film, most likely Velvia (exposed at 40 ASA) and scanned with my Coolscan IV.

John,

Thanks for your comments. I lived there in the early 80’s but my last visit was 20 years ago the skyline was unrecognisable.

The spiral line the people loosely make, the colors of the beach parasols and the flare makes a perfect cinematique atmosphere. Love it!
