Hi Emil,
Love the Smokey's! The use of the long exposure for the stream quickly drew me in, I can feel the force of the water! The water and the rocks work well for me. The horizontal flow of the water provides a great base for the vertical forest. I do agree that forest could use a bit more contrasting, maybe darkening the trunks, Gary's rendition of the forest works well. Cheers!

Hi Palli,
You have done a great job in isolating the essence of the wooden sculpture and highlighting its features to provide depth and contrast. Good use of the white/lighter vignette to further highlight the sculpture. The sepia tone is very much in keeping with the subject. Thank you for sharing!

Hi Gary,
Very much like the point of view/composition of the image giving a flowing view from the foreground to the building and sky. Removing the bike rack helped, it felt out of place with the nautical history of the location. The sky and clouds contrast the building very well. Was wondering if a little structure could be provided to the left side of the building which was taking on the full sun. Thanks for sharing. Cheers!

Hi Charles,
Excellent job in extracting/cropping the image you have presented from the original image. Excellent job in the processing of the image, the soft pastel colors and the contrast with the farming implement really make the image stand out! I usually stray way from false coloring when processing my IR images but your work here, is making me reconsider :) Cheers!

Hi Jack,
Great and very inviting image, draws me in immediately! The contrast of the dark tree trunks with the lightness of the leaves really sets of the image. The foreground tree and its branches and leaves provides an excellent frame for the entire image, feels like its embracing the image. One item that keeps drawing my eye is a small round flower (?) at the base of the foreground tree. No biggy but maybe try cloning it out. Cheers!

Hi Melanie,
Great composition. Having the water flow and keeping the flossy look and feel was very good. I do agree will flipping the image horizontally to have the flow go from top left to the right. I will provide a little bit of different feedback: darken the foliage at the edges to provide a little bit of of a contrast to the whiteness of the water flowing. Cheers!

Thank you all for your feedback and questions. Let me take each one on its own. 5 bracket image:I really liked the composition of the trucks and the surrounding buildings but the sun was at such an angle that it was difficult to expose the image since on the right everything was overexposed while on the left everything would be in shadow. My strategy was to bracket (one at metered exposure, two overexposed by two stops and two underexposed by two stops, bracketing was accomplished by changing the shutter speed and keeping the fStop and ISO constant) in order to allow the shadow details to come out and for the tone the overexposed area. I use the HDR function in LightRoom since it does not provide for the garrish exposures and haloes that come out with other software. Nik Silver Efx is my go to program for processing B&W and monochrome images which is my choice for processing my IR images. PhotoShop Raw module is my first step for processing any image. Topaz Studio has been my latest go to for final polishing of image. This image has a slight grunge processing which gives it the dark mood. I did not include the building to the left of the car in my original images but I do have other IR shots of the buildings with no cars. Hope this helps explain some of my steps. Cheers! |
