Wow #2 is somethink special
Love the reflection in the lake
A place I'd like to go back to
Kellett
Thanks buddy, I wish I could have made more of the lake reflection, but I had a couple of shots in mind that didnt allow me the time to drop down so low. Always an excuse to return eh!!
For me, I would chop out the sun on No.1, I don't think its required with the lovely colours although I would try and pull out some of the shadows. No.2 I wouldn't change at all. No.3 I would chop some of the sky as it doesn't look balanced with the lighter sky and No.4 I love that flash of light on the side of the mountain. Nice set.
Thanks for the crit Paul, I'll be having a revisit of these in Lightroom now I have caught up on some sleep. Much appreciated!
Cracking set Matt your efforts were rewarded,love no 2 and 4
Thanks Dave, it was such a relief that it came together, after driving through the night. Already plotting my next trip to the highlands!!
I really like the first. I know why people might say it's overlooked but it works for me.
Thanks Graham, the first shot looked bang on when I processed it at home, on my work monitor it looked overcooked. I really need to get around to calibrating my screen to avoid these issues in future. Appreciate your commend pal!
I prefer the original version of #1 as well. Yes it is a little overdone but it's so much more dramatic than the rework, which now looks a little flat to me. I'm not a great believer in telling it as it was. If a bit of drama works, go for it. And the last is rather lovely. Certainly worth the effort.
Cheers Jan, the first shot is one I'd like to get right, so I am gonna spend some time this week working on it, to get it how I would like. May even treat myself to a print for the office wall
Very nice set, I do love #1 original and #2
Thank you Plamen, it was a grand day out shooting, and I was chuffed to come back with a few shots I was happy with!!
3 and 4 just aren't my type of image. I like 1 but 2 is just perfection. Well done
Cheers Steve, the light was pretty much as good as I could have hoped for. It seemed to stick around with a golden glow for ages too. I have some more compositions in that light which I can't wait to investigate!
Great series with the second being my favourite of them, well captured and processed. Can you pick me up next time you do a trip like this one I promise I won't snore
Haha, you'll have to jump in line, as a few people are seemingly wanting to jump on my road trips now. I was all set to go solo for this one before
@Bowz decided to forego a nights sleep for a dose of Skye!! Thanks for the positive comments
2 is the standout image. 1 is overdone yet the re-edit I find a little flat. It doesn't give you any of the warm early morning light on the land. Somewhere between the original and re-edit would work for me personally.
I think you're right Martin. I'll be taking some time to try and get 1 to the level I think is right for it. I'd used a nd grad and a reverse grad on this shot, and the first shot was +15 vibrance and -20 saturation, so I didn't think it would display so overdone. I'm relatively new to using filters, so I need to learn and adapt my processing workflow with this in mind perhaps!
Can you up the WB a bit to make it warmer light? In LR
I will have a look Mark, its annoyed me that I didnt get it right first time, so I am determined to process it right this week! Thanks for the input
I like 1 & 4 best...4 is just my cup of tea. Broody yet lovely and soft light.
Thanks buddy, 4 was a chance shot as I was in transit between locations. The light was great, but I struggled to find a composition that I liked, I think this just about worked! Many thanks
For me too, although I'd personally be cock-a-hoop with any of them, that second one is a delight. Great work!
Thank you Ewan - I was pretty chuffed myself, but I agree, the 2nd is the standout from the bunch because of that worldie light!
1 & 2 are great shots. Your processing of the first has improved it as others have said, but would just like to see you paint some of that lovely light back onto the right hand distant hills. Just nit picking really.
Thank you Craig. 1 definitely has potential, and i'd like to get it right as its a sunrise that I won't forget in a very long time! Simply spectacular! I'll post up the finished version once I have it right!
No 2, sublime.
Excellent work mate.
Cheers Neil, was a good trip up there, and nice to get rewarded with some good light.
This landscape game is addictive as hell isn't it! Hope you're well mate
Superb set to come home with.
Like them all but the last for me is my kind of shot.
Thanks very much Scott, I am finding myself shooting detail shots with more frequency these days. It's rewarding to find the intricacies of the landscape that can offer a composition. Something I plan to work more on for the year. Appreciate your feedback, just wish it wasn't an 18 hour round trip to get to Skye!!
Great set of images 2 is my fave
Thanks very much Alf, was good to shoot somewhere other than the Lakes for a change!! I'd say I'll be back soon, but I already put a sneaky trip to Angle Tarn and Place Fell in since coming back, and I don't know if I can resist these winter conditions at the weekend either!!
