Hi! DM> Another shot from the Catlins Coastline. I had a better pic of another DM> waterfall but I think I've shown that one before on PUG or something.
DM> http://www.digistar.com/~dmann/cgi-bin/paw.cgi?date=10-Jul-2004 DM> FWIW I don't like the branches on the left but there's not a lot I DM> could do about them. There is a certain blue cast all over this shot. I can see it on my monitor. Now, either I profiled it badly, but this is all could do. Or, perhaps, the blue cast is indeed there. I am not complaining, because perhaps for this kind of picture, it is normal. But the water has slight tint of blue. DM> This is the kind of scene that is an absolute nightmare to spot meter. DM> It's a pity that the water has lost its highlight detail but I decided DM> that I'd rather lose that than the shadows. Unfortunately my scanner DM> can't resolve the shadow detail in the slide so the whole thing looks a DM> bit contrasty. On luminous landscape there is this recent article about blending. It is for digital but probably can be applied to slide that also have relatively narrow latitude... DM> Oh here's the other waterfall pic. Should have raised the tripod a DM> little higher to get more of the water. I should also get around to DM> printing it. DM> http://www.digistar.com/~dmann/temp/trip/catlins.html This one is much more balanced from color point of view. Probably because of more greenery in the frame. Overall, I wish I could come even close to this... But I will keep your ideas in my mind <g>... Boris ([EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED])
