Sharon den Adel's Photos

[My Winter Storm]

I was given a digital camera for Xmas, and have taken a few photos, and I thought I'd show you some of them. :)



This photo was taken at the beach in Blairgowrie, about two hours from Melbourne. The sea here is often very rough, and just recently, a surfer drowned after being caught in a rip (http://s225.photobucket.com/albums/dd100/MichelleRyan2007/?action=view&current=Jess052.jpg)

This is the Blairgowrie beach at sunset. We walked all the way there in a thunderstorm, which had thankfully ended by the time we arrived. (http://s225.photobucket.com/albums/dd100/MichelleRyan2007/?action=view&current=Jess055.jpg)

This was taken at a place called Boneo Maze And Wetlands - to get to the wetlands, you had to walk a boardwalk, and were surrounded by plants and wildlife. I have honestly never seen anything so beautiful. (http://s225.photobucket.com/albums/dd100/MichelleRyan2007/?action=view&current=Jess030.jpg)

This was taken at the end of the boardwalk. It's the beginning of the wetlands. Sadly, it wasn't too 'wet' as the rivers and streams had long since dried up from the drought. (http://s225.photobucket.com/albums/dd100/MichelleRyan2007/?action=view&current=Jess040.jpg)


So, what do you think? I like them, they are the first photos I have taken with my camera, and for a first time, they are not that bad. :)

Beautiful pictures, Sharon. Thanks for sharing. It's nice to see a country not over-developed.

JimmyC might be a good one to ask advise on pictures, and he can explain that darn editing rule they have....:cheers2:

Hmm, I guess we don't have an edit button, then? I am thinking I need one...

There is an edit button, but only for a short period of time..
Contact Jimmy, he can help you out..

'glockmail', am I not gorgeous? :) A little fresh air, some sun, tight jeans, a decent air of boots and some long hikes and you'd be ready for anything. :coffee:

Here is your beach shot with a little correction from photoshop, the horizon is always screwed up when shot from the beach, I rotated the shot to make the horizon more horizontal. I also cranked up the saturation which tends to be lacking with digital shots.

The sunset shot didn't need as much rotation but I added some sharpening, saturation and got rid of the guys on the right.
