Well……………to be honest…………like all good photo’s they weren’t THAT purple and red. I found that if you keep some words in mind when editing, you get this. Words like: FULL, MAX, RIGHT, 100%, YES, +100, 400%, ALL! etc…
Cheers Nigel. Its a dawn shot, i’m 51% sure at least, though i was pretty tired. The cows that i cropped out were getting up an crapping over themselves and each other, so thats why i’m the extra 1% sure. Thats a morning thing.
Hi, yeah, no problem, Tollymore forest park in Newcastle, County Down, N. Ireland. Its marked on the maps on flickr if you just click the flickr link at the bottom of the image.
I agree about the whites, especially as it takes up a lot of space in the photo, love the high contrast though, i’d just tail back the whites a little.
Great spot this, i have been, but took no photo’s at that time.
Well, here is a second attempt, and to be honest, i take it all back. It was a pretty poor attempt at processing and sometimes someone telling you that pays off.
Anyway, please comment and critique as you like, i will re-PP any other things that look a bit iffy :P
Overall, i am much happier with it, i managed to get some detail from both the highlights and shadows in Photomatix, after i read the manual for it…DoH!
