Lizzy23's 52 thats me i made it 1/2 way, won't get to the end - Page 10

Dark Knight · 19-03-2012, 20:55

Ooooo another vote for no:1 from me, I too like the angles in the pic, a good take on the theme

mtjhome · 19-03-2012, 20:57

Hi Liz
I like your interpretation - I think there is absolutely nothing wrong with a bit of interpretation when applied to what you see around you. I love just walking around with my camera with the theme at the back of my mind, and just see what appears.
I prefer your #1. The bold colours I think swings it for me. Doesn't really help you I'm afraid you seem to have a pretty even split between #1 and #2. Mike

doesn't matter 1 or 2 i like them both

The_Oakster · 20-03-2012, 06:16

I prefer the composition of number 2 but I wonder if it would be better if you lightened the area of the bridge as its quite dark?

Donnie · 20-03-2012, 08:13

Magical - number 1 is the better for me, composition is key here.

Thanks Sarah, was saying to Andy tonight, they're not as good as last year, not half as many down the avenue

Blank_Canvas · 21-03-2012, 21:01

'Magical' - I agree spring is magical for me. I love the fresh air and rejuvenation and anticipation of the year. Lams skipping in the green fields and daffodils and snowdrops. No 1 for me I like the depth of flied and vibrant colours - nice work!

posiview · 21-03-2012, 21:54

Having been there this evening these appeal more to me now...

I'd like to see the colours of #1 in #2. I do like #2, the branches are an issue, but I guess there couldn't be removed

Perhaps a bit lower and closer to the daffodils?

Cheers.

Might try that before they've gone, i was sat on the bank, but i think if i'd have got any lower i may well have got mugged

Delta Skies · 22-03-2012, 21:02

I'd go for #1. The daffodils are brighter/more colourful than the ones in #2.

sturisoma · 23-03-2012, 18:55

woods are magical for me so I completely get where you're coming from, I prefer no. 2 though

Ok back on track now, last week was horrendous with one thing and another and i knew that vice would always be a snapshot, so here is my vice offering, taken with the compact last Saturday on a very enjoyable day on the real ale trail from Manchester back to Huddersfield and definately my vice for the day

#1

going up

Entrance 3 by jalizcazan, on Flickr

Entrance 2 by jalizcazan, on Flickr

#3

and Going down

entrance 1 by jalizcazan, on Flickr

Manc Man · 02-04-2012, 07:43

Vice
Hmmmmmmmmmmm yum yum, nice shot and on theme

Entrance
Like the number 2 shot, liking the mono very much.

Southdowns · 02-04-2012, 08:25

Yeah number 2 deffo! Needs a tiny straighten, but other than that it's great.

Number 1 is a little "snapshotty" (technical term) for me, and number 3 doesn't say entrance at all IMHO, plus is a little too busy with people.

Vice, nice shot. You've made me thirsty now!

Thanks, actually the more i look at number 2 the more its growing on me, at least i made an effort to get out, and had a really enjoyable cople of hrs

snorton · 02-04-2012, 10:09

Magical - loving the first of the 2 daff's pics, lovely colour in it and love the composition.

Vice - now that's a vice shot if ever I've seen one

Entrance - loving the mono shot

michael23 · 02-04-2012, 10:59

Liking number 2 with the 10 stop, what issues are you having with it, I have been considering getting one.

Thanks, Maybe its my processing skills, but i can't get rid of the colour cast if i leave them colour, heres an example, i just think its nasty

_MG_1997 by jalizcazan, on Flickr

if someone can do something with this and let me know how they've done it, i'd appreciate it, i used to get better results with a screw in one, which is where i may end up going back to, i've tried covering the eye piece i have the one specifically for the lee filter holder, so i ahve no idea where to go next

michael23 · 02-04-2012, 11:13

have you tried using a custom white balance?

I don't set any white balance, i just do it all in DPP afterwards on The raw file, and that is using the tune option to put it where i want it, am just really frustrated with it, yes it works great in Mono, but i just can't get it any better than that in colour

michael23 · 02-04-2012, 11:21

It might be worth trying the custom white balance, take a pic as normal with the filter on and take the custom white balance setting from that image and set it to that for your next shot, this should get rid of the colour cast.

Will give it a go, next time i use it

Southdowns · 02-04-2012, 11:39

This uses the WB eye dropper in Lightroom, selecting a blue tinged area of the white post nearest the camera. Is this any better? Results would probably be better from the original raw file too, and LR4 even lets you apply selective WB to different parts of the image, though I didn't do that here.
