Re: PESO: Wall of Weed

2007-12-13 Thread Brian Walters
G'day Dave

I looked at this first on my uncalibrated Linux partition and thought much the 
same as Jack (that the image was too dark in the shadows of the weed piles).  
On my sort-of-calibrated Windows partition there's more detail but I think a 
bit of selective curves or levels adjustment on the darker areas would improve 
the image greatly, while retaining that wonderful sky.

The intersection of the weed pile with the horizon is a bit unfortunate, 
however.  


Cheers

Brian

PESO: Wall of Weed (v1.1)

2007-12-13 Thread David Savage
Thanks to everyone who took the time to have a look  comment on my
original Wall of Weed PESO .

Seems I was a bit hasty in my PP  posting of that photo (I need to
get back into the habit of waiting a few days before doing any work on
recent shots).

Anywho, I agree that the position of the weed so close to the horizon
is unfortunate. I couldn't get any higher, or lower, in that location
so there isn't much I can do about that.

Just for chuckles I've gone back and bumped up the levels in the weed
 cropped a little off the bottom  RHS:

Actually I have to agree with Jack, the forground seems a bit dark.  I 
just recalibrate my screen, by eye but still the brightness should be 
alright.  The top of the mound merging with the horizon is different and 
some might see it as a flaw. Seems like it would be better if it didn't.

That's almost such a fantastic pic - nits are - horizon, and the

about the space to the right. Great effort tho.

The foreground seems a bit dark.  I opened it up a little in Photoshop 
which tends to wash a bit of the drama in the sky.  This looks like a

The foreground is too dark on my calibrated monitor. Perhaps a 
shadow/highlight adjustment might save it.
Also the placement of the mount coincident with the horizon is 
unfortunate.

Looks like an ideal shot for a split neutral density filter.
