Photo of the Month 2022 - Wave Watchers (February)

[Mike Farley]

Watching the waves at Shoreham during Storm Franklin.

I included this shot in the image critique evening at the club on 16 March and modified it based on the judge's feedback. I have darkened the man's hands to make them less intrusive and cloned some of the waves on the upper third with the Lightroom Spot Removal tool set to Healing mode. The original section of the image had an area of sea that was originally dark and looked a bit flat when lightened. I was aware of both issues beforehand but in this form the shot is no longer eligible for Landscape Photographer of the Year.

I am (slowly) writing blog posts about the images slected as my Photos-of-theMonth. The idea is that I will catch up with those already published and then start posting new images and the associated blog articlesimultaneously. The rate at which I create the the commentary needs to increase if I am not going to be permanently several months adrift. I am working on it .......
