[Daft Togger]

Here's a shot I managed to capture the wee annoying midges in....

Cor. those are small ones!

I like the dark aspect of this shot ...

 

[f.box]

I really like this, its very unusual.

It doesn't really work for me as there's nothing to look at. The camera has metered for the sun and everything else is under-exposed.

A selective play with the colour maps will sort that pete.

I rather like it. Love how the light has caught the plants in the foreground.

So you missed the foreground light, the blue sky, and strange bright ball in the sky.....fair enough, can like em all. Under-exposure is intentional to get silloette.....I used a 0.9 ND filter to get the effect.

 

[petemc]

Ah right, cos theres too much silhouette imho. Lacking in context.

 

[Steep]

messed up the sun a bit...

Thanks for the attempt, but you simply can't pull back detail that ain't there, you just end up with a low qaulity image that looks far from natural. It was intentional anyway. Had I wanted a nicely balanced image, I'd have used just a CP filter or a 0.3 ND grad and used AV comp if required.

It's messed up because I didn't spend time on it, the detail is certainly there to bring out, however if the shot as shown is what you wanted then it's fine as is
