A few TP members went to the Lakes for the weekend.

I'm sure I speak to all who attended that it was a cracking meet. We did really well with the weather.

Attendees were @mardymum, @randomwindows @posiview @Phil D (and his partner Lynne - thanks again for the butties and tea/coffee (y)) @nickjohnwatson @drooke @robphotographer @Buck @Dark Knight @Southdowns.

Here's one from me to get the ball rolling. I'll post on the crit section as I think some who attended were are some feedback.

Cheers all.

Hi Phil

Nice shot. I would drop the exposure down say half a stop and boost the saturation by a whisker to give it a bit of a boost.

Adrian, we've just crossed posts there :D

I've just made it a little brighter, it did look a tad dark to me :confused: Any better? could the saturation still need a bit? thanks

Thanks Adrian, I'm at a bit of a loss just lately with this pp'ing lark :LOL: in the one you've run through ACR, there looks to be more detail in the cloud but it still looks a bit dark on this monitor :confused:

Have you calibrated your monitor? Mine's calibrated and it does make a difference. Doesn't look too dark on mine. In ACR I set the black and white points as well so there should be no part of the photo that is too darker or too bright i.e. no blown highlights or black shadows.

I've only just bought it 2nd had from the classifieds,it's a Dell Ultrasharp U2412M, they get some great reviews on here. I was told it had been calibrated about a month ago. I'm very happy with it, it's totally different to editing on mi lappy.

Maybe I could do with discussing this on a separate thread in the PP section to save cluttering up here, cheers mate :)

Calibration needs to be done periodically, especially if the monitor is now been used on a different pc. Proper calibration should also consider the lighting in the room.

If you upload a raw version of your image I will do a quick edit for you.

Pants at this stuff and was not there but felt I must say that the first image posted is fab, I wish I could take similiar quality photos:)

Gaz
Ps: Would one use filters at all for that type of image or 2 photos merged ? Or was there enough range to get it in one raw image ?
 
Late in posting so trying to put on something different, so one of mine from Sunday Morning, not the best of detail but got out of it what I could, the heavy mist on the mountains is not as clear as I would have hoped, and would like to get more out of the sky, but not sure how, have just used a grad in LR :thinking:

I didn't get any worth posting apart from trees :oops: :$
I will definitely try harder next time on my composition, that and not completely blowing the sky on my only decent shot :(
But, I had a great time with some lovely people so roll on next time.
