Lucky I had saved this in RAW file. The actualy shot was slightly over exposed and the colour temperature wasn't as what it was suppose to look. Here, we are at Dragon lake if not mistake, it was an excellent view, but my legs are tired by that time. Didn't had much of an intrest shooting more.

This looks very beautiful...!

However, as always, when doing nature photography, the thing is always there, so very often ppl find other ppl copying them, or they copy from each other.

...and yes, there are always some ppl who are more talented than others!

It's like what you said, with the same scene out there, PS skill or retouching skills really makes a difference!

Thanks to PS, it saved most of my works. Its like a miracle, the way you want it to be.

Hmm...ya, PS can make our photographs much better, but still, I'm not sure how to achieve the similar effect without PS.

Maybe relying on PS too much henders our learning progress on true photographic or 'darkroom' manipulation skills?

I do agree what you are saying. So next time, try to adjust the white balance using a white paper in all occasions. Then get the correct exposure everytime, get a tripod too.

lxrichbirdsf In reply to couleur [2006-12-19 12:14:38 +0000 UTC]

Yes...but consider the advantage of digital...it really saves a lot of cost on traditional equipment that is needed to achieve certain effects without PS...

For example...some color filters like the color GND filers, some are very expensive, and the effect can be easily achieved in PS...

A little bit of the wind off site, makes the water complicated.

How you incorperate text into a composition; you're really good with it.

couleur In reply to Genesis-Orbit [2006-12-14 10:20:13 +0000 UTC]

pretty simple ... make type it out first, make 3 spacing for every word, and 4 for bracketing. Then make sure its position is in the middle and the desired place.

nope, no one has the right to abuse others. imagine your photos are treated as copying others whom taken the angle first, do you think it's fair while you just want to enjoy your own photos?
