For today’s rehab clinic, I was able to go back to Maroubra Beach in the morning, and it was a much sunnier day so I was able to get some nice colour in the shots. My plan was to try to capture some of the waves breaking on the rocks.
17mm f/22 1/800s ISO800

I’ve taken all of these photos with my 17mm lens (35mm equivalent) and edited them in Lightroom by increasing exposure slightly and also adjusting the white balance because the photos turned out a little too blue originally. My usual increases in contrast and clarity followed, as well as a boost to the colour saturation.
Don’t forget to check out all of the rehab posts on Lucile’s blog.

Nice. Of course I had to translate that into Fahrenheit to figure that out since I don’t speak Celsius!😅

Nice! How do you get the white in the water to not overpower pics? I haven’t touched wb on my camera and am not sure how it works.

Thanks so much!
WB changes the tone of tour colours according to the type of light – bright sun, overcast, indoors, fluorescent, etc. If you set it to auto, it’s pretty good in most situations. If you can, take the same photo with multiple WB settings just to see what the results are.
To tone down the white waves, I actually just lowered the highlights and the whites in Lightroom. X

Thanks! Hmmm… I think this is another of those camera cases where I have to get out and practice, practice, practice. He he he! 😀 I’ve had quite a few pics where the white is too strong, from backgrounds to buildings, water and snow. At least knowing it’s possible to fix them is a start and then… *sigh* more practice, practice, practice to reduce the need to fix in the first place, right? 😀
