Riding the Nelscott break...
Annual Nelscott Reef Tow-In Surfing Competition, Lincoln City, Oregon - from daybreak today until around 4:30pm surfers from around the country and the world hit the big waves on Nelscott Reef, a half-mile offshore from the Nelscott area of Lincoln City. Usually there's a two day notice for the participants to get here, because the contest is scheduled based on projected swells from the far reaches of the Pacific reaching the Nelscott break and doing their thing...
Model: NIKON D300
ISO: 200
Exposure: 1/4000 sec
Aperture: 4.0
Focal Length: 300mm

Really love this one. The way the colors work together and the vignette's implementation work extremely well here.
"Evidence of change"
Cool Photograph.
What do you think of your watermark or tagging for your photography?
What does that font say? It totally changes everything for me. And in a negative way. It makes me think old, dated, blah, whatever, nothing.
Sure, mark your photos...someone might show it somewhere and you get some 'marketing' but I don't..... I say atleast mark it in some way that fits with the style of photography or is done subtly. Take a step back. If you're happy with it, cool. If you start to question it, maybe it's time to brainstorm other ways to do it.
Well, after my last headshot created a ridge in the community over the color orange, maybe this one will be more appeasing to all sides.

This is a much less flattering angle for her, and the photo looks overexposed.
Great pic, no doubt.
I'm curious what the intention of the image was. Seeing the bridal bouquet on the ground puts me ill at ease. For some reason, it seems like something has gone wrong. For comparison, take the classic movie shot focusing on a pair of glasses on the ground, presumably knocked off their owner after something bad has happened. The subdued color, and bride and groom out of focus in the background standing solemnly with hands at their sides reinforces the feeling. It's a powerful image no doubt, but perhaps not my first choice for the cover of my wedding album
Thought I'd take a little break from work and shoot this restaurant across the street...

I like both of them. You really have a natural model there.
Heading out...
More from yesterday's surf contest here in Lincoln City. Here a jet ski takes a surfer beyond the beach break so he can take on the waves a half mile offshore at the Nelscott Reef break.

Good points. Thanks for the critique
It's definitely unusual. This couple was quite "nontraditional" and they had a very informal ceremony. They seemed like a pretty artsy couple as well, so I was trying some things that were "out there". Normally when I do this shot with couples, I have them walking and it's a bit "warmer" in tone.
However, for the shot I posted earlier, we were doing photos in the early afternoon with no clouds or outdoor shade, so I was limited in my compositional opportunities with regards to being able to do anything outdoors (due both to the unflattering light and the intense arizona heat), so there wasn't any room to do any walking.

Yes, go figure.
I'm at the Canon Forums and in the Weddings thread, there's a lot of photos with people from the waist or neck down. Seems to be the "latest photo craze".
I don't like it. It's like all the photos my Mom has from when I took her Kodak Instamatic as a small child and took pics (I pointed the camera straight just like adults did, not up).
To each his/her/their own...
