eat sleep rave repeat

Some may have seen my previous failed attempt from last week at this location in the mist but I wanted to give it another go and this morning the light was just beautiful.

Only one shot at the mo but I have a few more to tinker with tomorrow.

Cool… sounds promising!

The main killer here may be the lens flare from the left. Occasionally flare may be welcomed but here it contributes nothing. And the tonal range is such that the attempt to reconcile it has led to a bland, or if better-said, denatured result. Sorry I can't be more polite.

I'm working on it Daniel.

Thanks for the feedback @droj - The photo was processed that way with regards to colour. I haven't tried to reconcile the flare, I liked the way it was entering the frame although I would have liked it higher. My chosen low view point to try and accentuate the curve in the foreground meant the early morning sun would be low in the frame. Perhaps a little turn to the right would have helped?

I normally hate lens flare but here it is fine.

I'd rather the person wasn't in it. I know it is a signature touch of yours mind.

I also see a 1:1 crop here, you don't need all that sky.

Thanks Steve. I've been toying with the 1:1 idea myself. I have another composition which I've cropped square but it's the same image so I'm reluctant to upload it.

Here's two more from the morning:

Last of these David. The suns distracting in the first and I like shots without people. Last ones really nice

Eat, sleep, eat is more my mode... Have to agree with Steve, last one is lovely and the best imho.

Brilliant, thanks David.

The last is a popular shot but for me it's missing something. The light was really nice but I only really took it because Mike had asked about it in another thread. Still, glad I did!

I put a lot of work into the panorama, I took a bazillion shots and ran to the little pinnacle a dozen times. I've done quite a bit of PP work to it to remove some caravans in the fields below and a hell of a lot of lens flare. I wish it had more impact as a whole. Meh.

Eat, sleep, eat is more my mode... Have to agree with Steve, last one is lovely and the best imho.

Cheers mate.

Brilliant, thanks David.

No worries mate. Good luck for your venture!

Like I said, #1 was framed and shot like that. All good imo

And yes, I use a grad

 

[MRMRM]

Have to the last one is just plain lovely.

 

[Scirocco_09]

Lovely stuff as usual, but I think I'd rather see them without the figure too. It may actually be the shorts that jar slightly, the eyes are drawn to the bright tones of the legs which isn't where I want to look. lol.

I do like the final image but would be cropping from both top and bottom if it were mine, there's quite a lot of redundant space in my view

 

[69Bonni]

Oh Yes No3 for me all the way there and back, excellent light, touch of mist (and not a sign of short hairy legs)
Love to see a Grad applied to 1 that would be interesting .......... vertical down the middle of the shot

Thank you. It's been the most popular here and on Facebook but it's probably my least favorite

Thanks for the feedback dude, much appreciated. I'm quite liking square crops atm...

How very rude. I may have the same hair colour as a leprechaun but my legs aren't short...

No Insult intended Mate Aren't leprechaun's meant to be lucky

Hope so, I'm off on a jolly with @MattyW next week so I'll need all the luck I can get!

Hoping for good weather but it'll probably rain or snow like it normally does when we go anywhere
