Indiana Teahouse Cottesloe

This afternoon I was thinking of heading out for some quality photography time, spotted an invite from Jamie Paterson on Facebook for anyone who wanted to meet up.. Having stalked Jamie’s work and even been to one of his exhibitions, but not actually met him, I thought why not? Met up at his favorite location and one I hadn’t really photographed succesfully before, Cottesloe.

I played around with several compositions and effects and didn’t really find anything that really “wowed” me, until I put my big stopper on and shot a panoramic with 9 30 second exposures on my 50mm.. well this is the image that resulted in me going wow!

Definitely one of my favorite landscape images in a very long time! I’m going to be printing this one up 24″x72″ for sure :)

It was great to meet Jamie and I’m looking forward to heading out shooting with him more frequently!

Regards

Paul Pichugin

    Hi Paul,
    The ISO was abviously set low for this shot if the shutter speed was 9 seconds. Surely you have edited this photo after the photo was taken, when I say edited, I mean adjusted the color properties etc ?

      There is 9 photos. Each exposure is actually 30 seconds long, I’ve used a black filter to get the long exposure. No editing of colour properties at all. Just stitched the photos together and then sharpened, that’s it. It’s exactly how it looked on the back of the camera!

        Not bad at all

    Hey Paul,

    Very sweet mate. I love the colour of the water and the cloud reflecting off the water. Great shot mate.

    See you soon,

    Jamie
