Sunlight on Upper Swaledale

Any comments or feedback welcome (critical or otherwise).

very nice light, lovely clear day, SI

Very rare lighting conditions.

Good job you've done!

Congrats.

 

ot me ... it's excellent ... greetings from Kolkata ...

A stunning landscape, well composed, with much to explore. Seems just a bit overexposed in the center, but perhaps a tweak in post-processing can rectify this. (My own images often look just right on my monitor and then overexposed after I upload them to PN.) I particularly like the zigzag effect here created by the line of trees leading into the bottom of the valley, followed by the line down the valley and then up along the distant, sunlit hillside. And the light is simply beautiful.

Ideal light conditions which turn the landscape into a fairyland. Superb capture, John.

John, what a magnificent capture! I have a couple of shots of the English countryside here and here

Hi Chris. Thanks - useful feedback again. I don't know if you experience the same but I've noticed that the 'save for web' option which photo.net insists on (for sound browser compatibility reasons) results in changes in saturation and contrast in the saved image. When I do a normal save as jpeg from Photoshop (not save for web), or go direct to print, I don't see this. It's only the save for web that's variable.

 

If anyone's solved this one, please let me know! It may just be a necessary quirk of the whole colour management process I guess but I prefer to keep the process as controlled and reliable as possible so I'm keen to understand this one.

Bellissima luce!

Gorgeous light, maybe a bit harsh on the sunny slope. I like the lines of the stone walls crossing the lines of trees that lead to the back of the valley.

HI again! I had the same issues, and still do to a lesser extent. How I tentatively solved mine was, in PS, you change the colour mode to sRGB before you 'save for web.' usually the web image comes out as close to the original .psd or whatever than if you use Adobe 1998 colourspace which is what I've been using. You might have to up the saturation a wee bit, but generally, for all intents and purposes, using sRGB usually solves it.

Hope that helps!

Cheers, Mark

Hi John: Yes, several people I know have had similar problems with Save for Web. I myself don't seem to have trouble with color shifts, but several times I've sworn I had the brightness in an image adjusted just right, and then later when I viewed the uploaded version on PN either the shadows were too dark or the highlights were too bright.

Mark, Chris,

 

Thanks. Converting from Adobe 1998 to sRGB before save for web solved it. It's a subtle difference but definitely helps.

 

See attached for the result.

Beautiful light & landscape.

Hi John! Glad to be of help. A beautifully captured landscape in either case :)

Besides grat composition there is perfect lit. ++ r.

I am seeing some beautiful light where I am visiting in Australia right now too. The play of the sunlight on hills can be dramatic and subtle at the same time. You did an excellent job with this image.

I would like to congratulate you on your portfolio well done and thank you for your recent comments on one of my photographs many thanks

A very appealing landscape.

Wonderful
