Murrumbidgee Take 2

Not happy with this morning's shoot. I had trouble with lighting, composition AND focus.

These are the only ones I thought salvaging and even then, it's a token.

I think I will lose these images to the ether and have another crack another day.

Oooh, am jealous of you guys heading out taking pics, can I tag along??

Your expectations are increasing Baz, those pics are lovely, esp no 3. Colours and composition no 1 are great .... no 2 is also good, tho the Sun is a little offputting ..... yikes, is that a work?
Keep up the great work!!!
My aim for 2010 is to do some HDR stuff

Happy New Year

Thanks Liz. You are more than welcome to tag along mate, but just so you know ( I can hear Humayun cringing) I plan on stomping into some pretty harsh country.......

Baz,

Number 2 came out beautiful. I can see the motif you were going for and you've almost pulled it off. Perhaps next time close the aperture down a bit more so all the reeds are in focus. Take two exposures; one correctly exposed for the reeds/middle foreground, and, then take a short enough exposure so that detail in the sky is present. We will then go about layering them together into a seamless image.

P.S. Liz, keep away from HDR! It destroys your image data and produces fake images.

But, that's just my AUD$0.02

Regards,
Humayun
