I would apply unsharp mask at 20,30,0 to remove the digital haze
Steve said:Adrian I have just looked at these shots again and something occurred to me about the second picture. It looks a little dull and hazy by comparison to the others shown here. A little while ago Matt offered me some advice which I feel would also be very useful for this picture now..
Maybe worth a try for the few minutes it would take?
Yes trying to plan a day trip then, have been aware of the tall ships for a while now. Need to get close as i've only the 18-55 lens but gonna try for the shots anyway. Went last time this was on a few years ago now but wasn't into photography then. Any ideas on vantage points?Adrian said:Thanks for the comments folks
Ken, It's the tall ships race in a few weeks so I'm sure you'll be taking advantage of the opportunities.
Adrian said:- already applied a heft dose of unsharp mask on the lightness channel in Lab colour mode. Trouble is, it's not digital haze, it's fine spray - the helo was only about 50 feet above the swimmer.
Steve said:No problem Adrian, worth the few keystrokes it took me if it had helped

Steve is right about pic 2 (a little soft) but i like the effect.
Ken.
Think my biggest prob even more than the lens issue will be finding a parking space, was absolutely packed last time.Adrian said:I've been up and down the river on my bike looking for unusual vantage points but most of them aren't that good. The best opportunities IMO are going to be when the ships are arriving and leaving the river (Parade of Sail)at Tynemouth and to get the best backdrop (Tynemouth Priory & Castle) I think I'll be positioned where I went for the Lifeboat Day, on Harbour View by the new flats. At other times I think it's going to be mayhem so I'll be out and about very early and very late.
