Almark Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 Shimna River, Tollymore, Newcastle, Northern Ireland. A walk along the Shimna river is marked by many curiosities, natural and artificial – rocky outcrops, bridges, grottos and caves. Oak wood from Tollymore was the preferred material for the interiors of the White Star liners including the ‘Titanic’ which was built in Belfast. This a short (2 min) AV of photos taken along the river. Not intended for competition, although feedback would be welcome on the saturation, I am having problems with my monitor - I think. It looks too saturated on this monitor, but looked Ok when I did it at first on a laptop.

Almark Posted June 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 Thanks for the feedback.My new Pc is one of those all in one jobs. It is a Sony, but basically the monitor is a 24" laptop screen. (VGC-RT1SU). I have just found screen profiles that make things better. I think I will have to re do all the images again. Not a big prob. But thanks for the feedback.

Almark Posted June 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 size probs, sorted. (I hope!) max height is now set to 1056 pix for viewing on HD, but should work on all.http://www.markallenphotography.co.uk/mark...s/tollymore.exe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almark Posted June 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 canteau, thank you for taking the time to grab my photo and work on it as you have. It was kind and thoughtful and I must say that I find your version is much much better, sharper and with better contrast overall. I have now gone through each image and reduced the global saturation. The green's were too bright - a 'digital green' folk often say. However; it was raining and the trees and leaves were wet, and with a surprisingly bright (albeit grey) sky the back lit leaves can be rather bright.Again, thanks for your feedback and support.

Almark Posted June 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 Ken, I apologise, when I read your comment above I didn't understand what you meant, it was 3am and I was a bit brain dead ;-) Now I see what you mean, but no here wasn't any effect applied. It was raining and the river was also getting large drops from the trees. This accounts for the circles on the water. The Av has been updated to reflect the new slightly desaturated images. Thank you all for your feedback.Download latest version here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almark Posted June 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 Ken, this was actually a camera club day out. This evening at my camera club other members showed their photos - all very similar - in that the greens appeared far too bright. Some members didn't bring any photos to show they had suffered from what you mention above:raindrops keep failing on my lens smile.gifWhile a lens hood offers some protection, if you are using a ND Grad filter then it attracts raindrops like a magnet!

deskjet1uk Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 Hi Mark, I really like the re-work, the photography under the conditions you were in is good, I love the "John Dunbar" theme, beautiful choice.regardsRalph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
