It was nice to meet everyone in this outing, really had a good time. Must say that the weather really held out, despite the weather man's earlier predictions of rain.

#1 Along the way there (not sure why the blue's so pastel)


#2 Looking back (45min after start...hee hee!) - Be It Ever So Humble, There's No Place Like Home


#3 Left or Right?


#4 A Passing Shadow

5 Raise Your Palms...Oops, I Mean Hands


#6 Wood and Steel - Francis, did we shoot the same bridge? Ha Ha!


#7 The Crouching Cat


#8 A Long, Long Road


#9 The Winding Bridge

[deadpixel]

#10 The Great Divide


Shot this a couple of minutes before my wife called to pick me up.


Cheers,
Matt

So its related to the CWB settings you commented yesterday to achieve this?

Really nice series and the mood for #7 is really good.

I like best #3 & #7, also love the blue sky. Been in many IR outing and taken many shots but never able to PP for blue skies with my mod D70...always greyish.

[mousedeers]

I like #7 and #8. May I know photo #8 what lens do you use?

Hi Matt,

Glad that you can join us for this outing.
My favourite is #7 too.
Same question as Leon, how come we didn't get the same effect like yours for our mod-cam.

Thanks guys

The colors are a result of the CWB that is set in the camera. I tend to favour the late afternoon sun. The other thing is to shoot it a tiny bit under.

Cheers,
Matt

HC, it's with the help of a little flash

Thank you for the compliments.

#8 was done with a fisheye lens. Got on the ground and really "in-your-face" with the flower.

Cheers,
Matt

Dennis, Wendy, thanks

I was staring at the "art piece" from a few angles until I vaguely saw the shape of the crouching cat. The harsh sunlight was washing out the stones and the grass until I remebered that the Orton Imagery treatment, done after an a/b channel inversion (not red/blue channel swap) would allow me to bring different "colors" to the grass and stones.

Cheers,
Matt

Thanks

#3 was done with the help of a flash to get the letters properly lighted up ... hee, cheating

The blue skies depend on a number of factors:

1. You really do need clear skies
2. The filter musn't completely block out visible light
3. The CWB would be better when done with an evening sun
4. Your photos should be a little under

Try these out to see if it improves the blue

Cheers,
Matt
