part 2 of "which shot do you prefer"
« on: August 02, 2007, 09:57:50 PM »
Comments and critques welcome.  Please just explain your reason.  Thanks!   :)

These were from late this afternoon.  Brief afternoon shower really helped darken the light up and helped to bring out the brilliant greens in the mosses and plant life.

5, easily. Your waterfalls are overexposed in all of this series, though. What were your camera settings?

I'll have to work on the exposures.  Luckily I don't have far to go back and do these again.  Details for pic 5 are:  f16, 30sec exposure, ISO 100.  The others vary from f22 to f32 with between 15-30 sec exposures at iso 100

I'd be interested in seeing some in the 1-4 second range, should you get the opportunity. You also might want to try adding a polarizer. Nice work on making the green 'pop'.

A polarizer was utilized.  Opportunities abound, this area is a 5 minute drive and a 20minute hike.  I'm sure I'll be back in a week.  I'll try do a series on #5 with different exposure times.

I always process.  First assign white balance, then I go for my colortones and saturations.  I'm sure what I like, is either not enough or too much for others.  I do initial processing in Digital Photo Professional.  I then convert to tiff files, and export to photoshop 6.  In ps6, I zoom in and concentrate on dust specs and abnormalities and fix with the cloning tool.  I also fine tune contrast/brightness whatnot.  If the shot is not level, I will rotate until it is in 1 deg increments.  Then crop (sometimes, those above aren't).  If they are concert photos (noisy) I use noiseware for that.

#4 does it for me.  The mossy rocks are amazing.  They just seem to glow in that late afternoon light when the mist is in the air.  VERY little processing on that pic.  It looks like it did to me when I was standing there.

I like #5 as well.  The moss is great and I like the lines of the water across the frame.  I was trying to figure out what the foreground in #1 seems so un-sharp and I'm guessing it is the movement of the water over the long exposure.  I'd love to see some of these done as a HDR image.  You are lucky to have places like this to shoot so close by.

yeah, movement of water.  Local scenery is the only positive of living in the middle of nowhere.  I have to travel 90miles one way just to get out and tape  :P

I like 4 the best.  I really like how the green of the moss contrasts with the rest of the photo.
