Maine Photo Ops #4 - PhotoCamel

New England Moments · 07-24-2007

Larry, I like this post card look here... so much that I took it into Adobe to work on, ( which you can't on the road lol ) buttt It got even better for me .. I then noticed the cabin on the left ( my monitor dark ) anyway this shot has some real potential when you can get home and work on it.. like the piece of brush in lower right corner,, but just cropping that out , really seemed to pull this shot tight and together for me.. Think you got a good one here to play with!!!

Jackel · 07-25-2007

This is another example of beautiful colours from your recent series of posts. I really like the layers in the background,,,,and you've got the water looking real nice again.

Do you want to share your settings? No probs if not. It's just you've got the water looking not too sharp and not too soft....just right to suit the pic.

Bit of movement on the branches in the foreground, (maybe wind?) makes it a bit blurred, but mabe a tiny crop and then Mr Clone to sort that out.

Nicely done, thanks again.

Another very nice image LJH! I'm trying to catch up here... are you currently out on vacation shooting and submitting images? If so, that's awesome!

I do agree with Tom about cropping out that bottom right foliage. Otherwise it's very picturesque and tranquil feeling! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the comments - been on the road and just got home late Monday. Jackel - will try and find the exif data and post it . The little blur might be due to hand holding rather than a tripod

ljh34465 · 08-03-2007

Nikon D70
18-70mm at 56mm
f 4.5
Shutter Priority - 1/500
Pattern metering
Auto White Balance (I think)

Really pretty.. The mountains in the background add the perfect little touch.

ljh34465 · 08-03-2007

Thanks, Jenn - appreciate the comment

Jackel · 08-03-2007

Thanks for posting exif data, this helps. If this was handheld you did good!! Well done and thanks for sharing.

Goofup · 08-03-2007

Yep, this one would be great to play with. Crop it a bit like Tom said. 1/500 with that lens should be plenty sharp enough, you shouldn't need a tripod to reduce any camera shake.

ljh34465 · 08-03-2007

Hey, Goofup, glad to see you comment - feel free to play with this one (or any one) would be glad to see what you do with it.

Goofup · 08-04-2007

Just messed with it some. Tried to lighten the shadows, took a bit of green out of the sky, straightened, and sharpened. Darn small pic to work with but hopefully will give you some ideas.

ljh34465 · 08-04-2007

thanks, Goofup. Looks much better - can I send all my images to you before posting -lol

Goofup · 08-04-2007

Thanks a lot, but that wouldn't be fair would it? We all gotta learn sometime...

Lionello · 08-04-2007

I like this very much, Goofup's PP works great for me too.

ljh34465 · 08-04-2007

Thanks, Lionello - glad you like

ljh34465 · 08-05-2007

Goofup - how can I save your edited version?? Thanks

Goofup · 08-05-2007

Just right click on it and "Save Picture As..."

JuDiThA · 08-05-2007

Ljh, very nicely done! The cropped out twig does it just right. Very peaceful scene.

ljh34465 · 08-05-2007

Thanks, Judy but I have to give Goofup some of the credit since he improved it - I am always amazed at what a little "tweaking" can do. I just hope I can learn how to do it right myself - lol!!
