View Full Version : Sunrise Dont happen
went to cemetry about hour before dawn except dawn came & went with nothing but a white sky, just my luck. i took few photos not sure 1st one works. idea was make it more eerie. plant i found & angel i quite liked. A shop window was about exciting as it got.
Sorry Pete i know there crap & uninspiring :D

Well you got up and did something which is worth a fair old amount in itself. I do think you've got a little gem in the plant shot though. You've really picked up on some great texture in there and the colour is pretty wow too.
What have you done in the first shot to make it turn out like that?
I love you first shot, I think its eerie and pretty spooky, really great fun.

Nice!
Hey, do you know what your camera settings were for the last pic...I just love that clean, clear, crispness and vivid colour! Looks as though it was taken through glass...did you have the cam on a tripod? xxxx
Do you know what I really like, the shot of the angel covered in vines followed by the model. It makes a beautiful juxtaposition as their poses are very similar.
I think they're all good shots and I'm interested about how you PP the first one?
Sheep ... duplicated photo in cs2 used negative image overlayered over original & faded. slight burn on grass odd dodge on stones.

The first one: not for me. looks overly edited, and in my personal opinion, a bit.. 'naff'. But it is certainly eerie and i see what you did :)
Second one is absolutely gorgeous. I'd definitely frame that.
Third one: Lacks oomph. Have a bit of a play with colours and contrast? Boost this, damp that, etc?
fourth one: just reminds me of i am legend! :shrug:
Im not a fan of the first one although I commend your effort in trying something different. The second one is great, the vignetting nicely frames it. The other two dont really do anything for me.

Interesting but they don't float my boat to be honest. The first image doesn't make sense to me, the colours are too strange and I prefer a hint of reality in the image if that makes sense. Sorry to be negative, but we all like different things!! :)
#2 is a cracker, some really nice lighting there, and it has a very modern feel to it. #1 makes me think 1980's pop/rock video :D good or bad? I'm sure some people will love it.
I think the angel is just let down by the whiteness of the sky, but too much you can do about that I guess.

I'm not that gone on the stone lady, but the others are fantastic, all of them !
The window shot is really clear ! I kind of like the pp in the graveyard, something different for a change ! and the plant shot is very nice too !!
Good effort !!

... I was originally was going to add black background as sky was just white, bring the original colour on stones etc and add few stars to black background. It would have been a more natural look but got side tracked as wanted a more eerie feel to it. I wasn't inspired enough to take it further
EdinburghGary .. be a negative as you like :D I didn't go photograph what was available exactly as you see. I wanted few graveyard shots, few dawn shots & a few silhouetted stones with nice background the way dawn had been for last few days........ never happened :lol:
Think something like stone angel with better lighting/contrast and a nice dawn sky.
Jaggy leafy tree..... thanks for comments I did like that one myself its way it came out of camera apart from vignetting to highlight.
But shhhh! I used built in flash, I know it doesn't make good macro shots. :D
