I like this drowning with so many layers that in in the distance all forms disappearing.

That's an strong image man, and the use of sunglasses as ND filter made me laugh. It seems that somehow we've shared a similar thought :)

Congrats with the first published shot, Alex!
Really like the way you used long exposure here, and together with the title the image gives a strong message.
Thumbs up from me! :)

Nice one Alex.

Congrats on your first published image...Its taken a while but you got there in the end.

Hope this is the first of many to come.
Alex OBrien  Thank you very much Ian, I hope I can produce more photos that are acceptable for this site.
Thanks also for the favourite, take care of that camera and yourself! ;)

Well done Alex, impressive creativity with the sunglasses. I often think the world looks better through my sunglasses when driving around looking for landscape shots, might bung them in front of my expensive camera and lens now to see what happens...:-)))

JP
Alex OBrien  Thanks John1 I used them them just to get a long exposure shot, might be an interesting idea for landscapes though, the saturation would probably be lowered and they may look a bit moody. ;)
John Parminter  Moody, need a bit of that injected into mine.. ;-)))
Bravo Alex. Nice title. Keep it up ;-)
Alex OBrien  Kaveh thank you ever so much for your comment and favourite. The title was thought up by Andre ;)

Congratulations Alex, well deserved! But I liked the previous title much better, nevermind :-)

All the best,

Alex OBrien  Thomas thank you very much, your architecture images have been inspirational, especially seeing as I live right next to the media-hafen. Thanks for your comment and favourite, it is an honour.
Mal Smart 3 years ago
well done Alex, I was pleased and impressed that this was yours in screening, love the shot, more please. mal
Alex OBrien  Thanks mal!
I am very pleased you like it, I will do my very best to keep this up, going to have to be more careful choosing what to upload from now on though. ;)
Mal Smart  hehe, well this experiment worked very well with the sun glasses, don't be afraid to experiment with your work, don't take pics for 1x but take them because they please you! If one pops up that you think is a 1x shot then great.

Just read your reply to Colmar, good luck with the exams. mal
Alex OBrien  Mal, thanks again. I experiment a lot, my latest failure was attatching four swimming goggles to my camera, looked rather bizarre. I enjoy taking photos very much, nothing could be further from my mind than taking photos for this website, you aren't even paid. ;)
My school work has decreased dramatically since I discovered this hobby however, I'm going to need all the luck I can get, thank you again!
Andre du Plessis 3 years ago
So my 'feeling' of an imminent front page was true! Congratulations Alex, and what bad timing to have a shot published the evening before your exams:( Do try and drag yourself away from the screen occasionally. Welcome to OE:):)
Alex OBrien  Welcome to OE? Do you have to have a photo... oh never mind. English finals and Spanish written exam, my two best subjects, should be a breeze.
Thanks both for your comment and favourite Andre, its a fantastic honour!
Hell yearh, Alex. Congratulations on your very first published exposure. I am really glad to see this one through, even though you had to go through the critique section first. Well it took a while, but now you're on a roll :-)

With pleasures,

Sebastian-Alexander
Alex OBrien  Sebastian, thank you ever so much for your kind words and favourite, it is just wonderful. The critique section is a bit of a graveyard, I'll admit, hopefully I won't end up spending as much time there. ;)
