Evening light over inlet. Second version. Trying to get the saturation to match between Photoshop and phot.net.

Well this is the best I can get. After several tries... I find that

colors get very desaturated going from Photoshop to photo.net.

Converting to the sRGB space helps but still there are differences

between the Mac and PC.

 

16-second exposure. Storm and unusal evening light make the mood.

Cool shot - an improvement over your first posting. I haven't yet resolved the PhotoShop/Photo.net issue. I'm sure there is a way, but for now am just using the trial & error method.

It's ok for me. I like it!

Looks good to me, but I haven't seen what you're looking at. If you're interested in a book that gives an easy explanation of color management, try AdobePhotoshop 7.0 Studio Techniques, By Ben Willmore.

I recommend it for the photographer using Photoshop. It's a great book, all-around, and worth reading.

I like the "whooshy" feel of this shot. What was your shutter speed? The clouds look like they're moving along relatively briskly...unless you did that with PS?

This is a pretty straight shot. Small adjustments in Photoshop levels/curves and masking to bring out what little foreground detail there is.

 

Exposure was 16 seconds at f/22.2 with a linear polarizing filter.

 

I was on my way home from shooting an unimpressive sunset due to the overcast evening. As I passed this site, the eerie light caught my eye. I had to scramble to set up quickly before the light was gone. The polarizer was still on the lens from the earlier shoot and probably made no difference except for the 2-stop time correction. Didn't have time to pull it off the lens anyway. I wanted the long exposure to capture the feel of the wind on the grasses. Working so fast, I didn't even notice the how the clouds were rolling by until I tripped the shutter to open and had 16 seconds to look up before tripping the release again. Regrettably, I had to make a tradeoff between holding detail in the sky and losing the foreground grass.

Much better than the previous. Superb mood. Probably the best image in this folder so far.

i prefer this saturated version compared to the other. in my opinion, loosing the foreground was an asset and pulls the viewers eye more readily up the waterway. with the horizon line in perfect position, the leading line of water into the moving clouds is a strong composition.

Bill, I still like the photo, this version more than the other...with one note, I like the sky

in the first version, it is not so blue and as

a result kicks the less saturated greens into the

ballpark anyway...given color management etc is under control, what if you kept this bottom with

the first version sky ? If I was painting this

that's what I would do. My minds eye sees what you are after with this image...good luck and keep us all updated...gbs
