Introduction
Sunrise, Poole Quay, Dorset.
This
picture is of a fantastically colourful sunrise in Poole, Dorset. The
main subjects of this image are the boats and the sky. The boats moored
in the foreground provide interest, colour and context. The boats are
framed by the sunrise colours in the sky which are also reflected off
the calm, morning waters.
This image was taken from Ballard Road,
Poole, looking towards Sandbanks and Brownsea Island in a generally
south-easterly direction.
The image was taken not long after
sunrise, and just after the sun had risen above the horizon giving the
spectacular array of colours in the sky which are reflected in the
water.
Technical information.
This photograph is made up of
three separate images. The images were taken one January morning at 8am,
on my Canon EOS 5D with 17-40mm F4L lens. The exposure setting of the
first image was 1/125th second at f5.6, the second image one
stop over exposed and he final image one stop underexposed. The ISO
setting was 400. The images were taken in the RAW format. I use the AV
mode on my camera to take the images, as I wanted the optimum quality
that f8 gives with this particular lens.
Processing information
The
RAW images were imported into Adobe Lightroom, and these three images
quickly selected for further processing. I carried out minor corrections
to the first image, which I then applied to the next two images. These
adjustments corrected cropping, lens distortion and dust spotting. The
three images were then processed in Photomatix, producing a single
tonemapped HDR image. By merging the three images using this workflow I
have managed to produce detail in both the highlights and shadows that a
single image could not reproduce. The processing in Photomatix was
minimal, to ensure that the final image was realistic. Too often HDR
images look false and artificial, and I did not want such an effect for
this image. The final step in the process was to export out of
Lightroom a full resolution Jpeg image.
This is one of many
stunning images I have taken of the views in Poole Harbour, one of the
largest natural harbours in the world.

More about my work as a Professional Photographer in Bournemouth, Poole, Sandbanks and Dorset.
On
my commercial shoots I don’t take thousands of images, just what the
brief requires, so my clients are not paying for me to sort and edit
hundreds of images that they do not want. Once back in my office I
quickly produce a selection of images that satisfy the brief. I usually
only send 20-30 images to the client which 99 times out of 100 fully
satisfy the brief.
I only ever use Canon professional cameras and
lenses, and do all my own digital processing using mainly Adobe
software, with some other specialist software to achieve certain
effects. For most jobs I have a draft set of images ready within 72
hours of the shoot - quicker if required.
Professional Photography Costs
I
usually work on a daily or half daily rate, but can work on an hourly
basis or fixed price, whichever is preferred. My price includes
everything up to and including the production of an agreed set of
copyright free images in whatever electronic format is required.
Locations covered by my professional photography
I am based in Dorset and work regularly in Bournemouth, Poole and Sandbanks.
