Dusk at Half Dome

Comments and ratings welcome.

Jerry,Where on earth is this GOLD Mountain.And how do you create the multi color water.

Welcome back. That's half dome on the background and I was taking it from Yosemite village, Yosemite National Park. Those colors on the water is the effect of the color burst filter (not PS effect). 3 filters were stacked up (PL + FLD + Color Burst) to get a shot like this.

Jerry,Thank you for sharing.;~))

Pleasing composition Jerry, nice light, 6/6

Un bello paisaje,, con unos reflejos perfectos,,, un cordial saludo,,,6/6

Jerry,

 

To each his/her own, so I am not adding a rating, but these colors look garrish to me and detract from the image. I think I'd also like to see the grad higher up so that there's some detail in the trees.

Can you please explain what are a color burst filter and a FLD filter ? As you see, landscape is not my topic. Thanks.

Christian, thanks for the comments. This photo is kind of an experimentation for me. Not quite of my style but I think it's fun to try it. Attached is another shot without the color burst filter.

Manel, FLD is a multi-coated glass filter for correcting flourescent light but some people also use it for sunset/sunrise scenic shots to enhance the warm colors. I could not find an appropriate definition for the color burst filter but basically this filter let colors burst from the landscape by filtering the light reaching your camera. A color-compensating filter doesn't tint the photograph, but rather, amplifies the colors already present.

Thanks, I never heard of it. This summer I'll try to a bit deeper (I'm at level 0 now ;) into landscape photography but my idea is to do it taking different digital pictures and blending them.
