A wide angle zoom would be a good starter, 10-20mm zoom. You should be able to pick up a Sigma or Tokina (Nikon fit) second hand.
I take a lot of seascapes and use my Sigma 10-20 a lot. Berminghams regularly have them for sale, or you might find someone on this site looking to sell one.

I like the overall tones. Maybe if there was a bit more detail in the shadow areas. I love the shape of the rocks. Was that out in Red Rock. I wouldn’t mind paying it a visit.

Have you considered Kelby Training. They do on line training in photography as well as photoshop. I’ve only seen clips on U tube, but they seem good. I don’t know the pricing, but you can check out the link http://kelbytraining.com/live/” onclick=”window.open(this.href);return false;

I’ve just left a Sigma 10-20 in for repair through Conns Cameras ( it went for a swim in a rock pool!). The send it to Hahnel in Bandon, Cork, who are the agents. Haven’t got a quote yet, but it was only last week.

Thanks for all you suggestions.
I went along to Profoto in the Green Isle Hotel and saw some of the albums, so now I have something to work on.

Thanks again,

Ger.

Beautiful image. The tones are excellent. I’ve a few images of Lambay from different viewpoints and am curious as to where you took this one.

Hi Gerry,
Have you tried using the photo filters in the adjustment layers tab. You could experiment with different combinations of filters/opacity.

I’d forgotten about this post. I took the earlier advice and bought a 3880 from Sheldon,and yep, it’s a great printer.

It’s a great old boat, full of texture. But there’s too much distraction with the other boats and the poles and wires. It looks like you shot this from a standing position. I think it would work better taken from a different position and at a lower angle to just have the sky as a back drop.
Just my tuppence worth.

Nicely composed. The bokeh is excellent and the blurred surfer adds an extra story to the image.

I must agree.To see so many examples of masters of photography under the same roof was such an experience. It’s truly inspirational.

Ps. I’m hanging some work on the green, so if you’re around, say hello.
