A Window To My Soul

[CapturingTheNight]

Hi all,

Another image from the night spent up at Mt Buffalo hanging out with Colin Legg.

Lookout at "The Horn"

Interior of the hut was gently light painted with a headlamp during the single exposure.

Another nice image Greg. I like it.

With your backgrounds I notice they are often magenta/bluish which is a nice look. Do you select a cool white balance to achieve that effect as it probably does not come out of the camera like that right? Its a bit of a Canon signature look as well. Nikons tend to be more green/yellow and need white balance cooled off a fair bit to tame it plus a correction to yellow/green in the white balance colour graph.

Greg.

Spectacular photo, Greg-love the composition

Very nice, Greg, even if the title is a little cheesy ;)

Thank you very much everyone :D



It's basically just my 'signature' WB setting Greg. It's what I personally find most pleasing. Might not be to everyones taste. I dial it in for all my images in camera when the sky is truly dark. If the moon is up I have another Kelvin temp that I use. This saves me worrying about colour balance in post processing. If I know my WB is the same for every shot, then any difference in colour is basically all down to what is happening up in the sky at the time.



:lol: Yeah I might have pushed the cheese factor on this one, but I like to be creative with my image titles as well as the image itself. I post on a number of different photo sharing sites and social media and some of them need a title. I don't think I could ever just upload shots with titles like.... "moon" "moon2" "moon again" "stars through window" "milky way" "milky way and a tree" "milky way and another tree".........

Thank you very much Ross :D "Stargate"- I love it! Might just have to use that as a name for a future image.
