[Jacq]

no lei. why lei?

resizing the pic should be done last. if u PP a smaller JPEG image u will get JPEG artifacts and "graininess".

prolly becos u shot at high iso due to the low light, which results in "noisier" or "grainier" images. u can try a noise reduction software like noise ninja to make it less noisy/grainy during PP.

Sunrise @ Changi Board Walk

You can correct it a bit using curves, but it may take a bit of time to find the right balance. If u're using PS, u can use the shadow/highlight function under image to reduce the hightlight/hotspots/overexposed area in a limited way. But there's a compromise ... ur image will look flatter & grainier, so use it sparingly

Here's my attempt at tweeking ur pic using that function:

Nicely done, bro wiz! (But she doesn't have Photoshop... I'm not sure if GIMP has the Shadow/Highlight function)

Tks, xkingx.

 

[philliptan]

Wow! Great composition. Love it lots.

(Just a tad grainy... will try to reduce noise for you...)

 

[knoxknocks]

think it'll look even better with just the 2 birds. tad noisy though...but great eye!

 

[Kaganesti]

Think it would have been better if the the bird on the left is more define.
As it perhaps , that we can see the tail like the one on the right

Hi guys, just got back from Cherating, Kuantan.

Tks Phillip, agree tat it's grainy. Tat's wat I told you after the shoot lor.

Tks KK, I like the leafy thingy, but the 2 birdies too in love liao, so bo bian........ ;p

Ths Kaganesti, I take note in future when I shoot something similar.

Here's another of the Changi Sunrise. this one, I think, not only grainy but a little blur rite?

 

[philliptan]

Yep, just a touch grainy... but kinda adds to the mood. What ISO were you on?

Would also recommend that you not cut off their butts in the future... :bsmilie:

[philliptan]

Girl, as requested... corrected a bit of the grain and played a bit with curves...

 

[Jacq]

Tks Phillip. Still waiting for lesson on GIMP.

Here's my first pix from Cherating.
