frostypaw Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 Cheers frostypaw. Haven't done much B&W - just the rare photo when I couldn't get the white balance anywhere near. Appreciate the criticism - I do tend to over-sharpen, but put that down to my old eyes and an average monitor. I don't often use dodge or burn techniques as such, but do tweak the exposure if I think it's necessary. Again, probably a combination of my eyes & monitor if I've overdone it. edit: typoI reckon you'd love B&W work, just from the style you shoot. I'd swear blind you used to be a B&W slide film only person from how you process them! That's why I didn't really want it to seem like a criticism, nowt wrong in loving texture.If you do love your photos it's well worth going through the rigmarole of all the the colour/monitor set up options you can find on your computer - but if you're using Photoshop ensure you've selected "Monitor RGB" rather than all the normal profiles as they're only intended for print and look drastically different to normal computer viewing. It kinda alarms me how oddly most people set up their monitors. I spent some time doing hardcore image processing as part of my work and the difference between reallife-accurate to comfortable-computer-use to how-most-people-play-games is HUGEI find most folk adjust their photos to how-people-play-games, and it all comes out flat and without texture. Lacking in depth! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lacking in depth! Cheers. I have my monitor calibrated using a Spyder 3. But as it's an old and average monitor its brightness is variable. So colours should be about right, but exposure can be tricky. Time for a replacement when I save up. I don't use photoshop, just Nikon's Capture NX2. More of a photo development toolkit than post-processing. I always convert RGB colour space before sticking on the web. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr gumby Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 I think this is my favourite from this year. Very personal, just our little boy enjoying the Peace Garden. I admit I was concerned he might be overwhelmed by all that was going on, but he spent almost every waking moment with a big smile on his face, just like this! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keef Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 (edited) I have, at last, sorted out my photos from this year's festival, full gallery can be found here: Clicky!

It takes very little rain for some bits of the site to get muddy. This airways seems to escape city folk - conditions vary across site which is why folk keep recommending good walking boots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who doesn't take some kind of waterproof footwear is asking for trouble frankly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
