Cliffs and salty breezes (18 pics; Updated)

Very nice set. The light is maybe a little flat but that's only a problem for a few of them. I like 16 a lot, wouldn't mind seeing a b&w version of it eventually. Great detail in 17, you made the right choice for an unforgiving sky and the fact that the bird is white is what makes it work. White on white. Number 10 is the type of shot I like because I know I'd gravitate immediately to taking its photo, too. I'm usually not "daring" enough and would go for a straight on, very 2 dimensional photo so I always enjoy when shots like these are taken from a side angle, and work. I like 8 but wonder what it might look like from a wider angle perspective. Exif data is stripped so I can't see focal length, anyway, just curious. The first shot is of course a nice way to start up the series, it gives one a great idea as to the overall atmosphere of the place.

Exif-data fot #8 (only way I know how to provide you with it at the moment I'm afraid).

Nice set and nice B/W conversion, love the lines in # 7, 8 and 9.

I´m trying to get braver with shoting strangers, this weekend I took som pic of an ice skater and hes dog out on a lake, he asked if I put my pics up somwhere on the net and I gave him short direction about where too look and the day after he sent me a mail. He got som pics and I got a new fan

Cheers Christer

@Christer: Thanks Shooting strangers is quite a lot of fun. And there was one guy who was teasing me because of my big camera and me being a papparazzi, but then posed for me on the pic posted below, which was quite cool. I asked him and his wife to leave their email address, but they didn't feel like it apparently... I'm still quite happy with the pic though

@Frank: Yes, I can see how a bit more contrast might work, I'll go and see if I can work on that.
I'd definitely be interested to see your colour version of #16. I did work a bit on the levels before I converted to B&W. Didn't dare to add too much more contrast though because it mostly seemed to affect the stone walls behind the guy, and what with him wearing such a dark-coloured jacket it was making it a bit too dark overall and blending them too much together... But I'll have another go

#19 Random person and his dog

Thanks Frank, looks a bit like the way I made it before I turned it into B&W (no idea whether altering the colours makes any difference to the B&W conversion really, thought it might...), but with a bit more contrast
I think the dog's turned out a bit more red than it was, but I'd say it looks good otherwise

Thanks Arun
