Newbie's trip to Labrador Park

radioactive28 · 17th March 2005

Posted first in Gallery, but seems like it isn't the best place to get advice, no reply...

I took these last December, but didn't have time to develop until recently.
The shots are uncropped, and went through the standard PS processing.

It was raining as I walked in from HarbourFront. The road leading in looked gloomy.

Fishing men always seemed quite interesting...

The mood felt like this as the sun set...

A last shot before I left:

All comments welcome

(I need a crash course in learning, not much time to shoot while I'm in NS

)

TIA

i like ur 3rd pic with e fishing ah pek, the mood is quite nice. =)
but ur overall colours seem a bit dull, i guess prob due to the low light condition..

hmm... nice to see that film scans.

which film were you using? they remind me of velvia

last 2nd shot is nice ...

radioactive28 · 17th March 2005

Thanks all

Arcanic: I know about the dull colours and contrast, but I couldn't see a way to improve on it without changing the mood. I love shots of fishing people

fuzzy: I was using Superia X-TRA 400, but the scanned product had a greenish tinge. I Level-ed to make it warmer.

Any pointers as to how the first pic can be improved? It felt quite messy all along.

I like the last one.

Maybe your pics need a little sharpening.

i am in NS also , yr unit stay in or stay out ? pic no.6 is nice i think

Thanks for the comments.

afbug: I think it's my lens, not the sharpest around, and even USM can't salvage the picture enough without showing signs of artifacts.

S11loop: Just got my posting, going to find out about what freedom I might have.

If you're in a stay-out unit, make the best of the nights to practice night shots . :P
