Talk about throwing the gauntlet

We had a really nice afternoon/evening with Colin (ColCam) visiting from the Sunshine Coast.

If you have seen Peter's Green Point photos [url]http://www.dslrusers.net/viewtopic.php?p=243421]here[/url], these may look similar. Peter said I would have a landscape version to his portrait version, here it is.

From a different perspective



These were taken with the D70s and 18-70 kit lens, both at f13. First one was with an ND4 filter, 13sec exposure. Second one without the filter and a 5sec exposure.

The colours have certainly come out differently out of the D70s compared to Peter's D2X. I use bibble, he uses DxO (I think). I tried DxO as well, but couldn't get the colours quite as Peter's.

Still very much interested in your C&C.

Cheers,

André
(PS - sorry about quality of smaller version of image, I need to check out my gallery software )

Andre, like the composition of the first, but prefer the water in the second and can really see it as an ad or book cover with text over the water. Both beautiful images.

Both beautiful images Andre and as you say, quite different colours from Peter's. I suspect he may have played in PP for a while to achieve the colours he did.

I think the landscape version here works better than my portrait attempt. In my shots from Green Point I used DxO as you suggest and, as Andrew suggested, did some additional PP after that (about 5 minutes tops though Andrew), but I'm still fascinated by the difference in the appearance of two compositionally very similar images.

Thanks for the comments. It is quite amazing how two images taken only minutes appart by two photographers can look so different.

I've played with the PP on the two images to try to get more colour in the sky. I include just the mini-thumbnail, so to be friendly to our dial-up friends, but they link to the large version.





Thanks for looking.

Cheers,

André

I notice more grain in yours than the other lot - what was your ISO setting?

Both these are great photos.

Justin,

ISO 200. Had a closer look at 100% crop and you are right, my PP had introduced some noise. I fixed it in these last two.

Both these are great photos.

Made bettter now thanks to your comment,

cheers,

André

Very nice stuff Andre. Lovely soft pastel colours (at least on my notebook screen). Love the softness on the water that long exposures create.

Now, where are the wildflower images?

I like the composition and symmetry of the first image, and the nice and soft, subtle, pastely color tones... Hmmm, I keep thinking of a soft vignette...

I'm always amazed at how differently two people can see and frame the same scene when they're side by side...
