The sky was over exposed and with a CP, this is what it turned out. I tried to fit a ND2 filter effect (121L) in photoshop so it would look as if I had used one of those, so here is what it turns out like

I hope you like it, critics are welcome.

"The sky was over exposed and with a CP" CP = Circular Polarizer or what?
Nice shot.

the sky was over exposed, and the CP that I had used, was used on the wrong spot.

after you told of the sky manipulation i also see that there is something 'not that natural' but its ok.

Yeah, I know it looks unnatural, should had taken off the CP.

I don't really mind the slightly overexposed clouds. They add some sort of surreal look to the sky, which kinda fits the scene. Nice view!

this is really cool. the only thing i dont like about it, is the sky.. it doesn't look natural.. the clouds look kind of painted on or something.. its weird.. but asidef rom that, it kicks butt

Okay, you can check this again. I went through my files and found a different composition taken at the same spot but different exposure. So I did a little clone and paste.

You should look into getting a seperate nd filter, they helped my landscape photos out a ton.

You can recheck it again. I just updated it, with a little face lift.

please post the original version, or at least an edition without these overexposed clouds, because the scenery is sooooo beautiful..

couleur In reply to woodenforest [2006-12-31 06:25:26 +0000 UTC]

The original is like what you had seen, with the sky overexposed and half white. I had just updated it, you can recheck this version

better now.. still looks a bit artificial, but it's ok I think

couleur In reply to FelixTo [2006-12-31 12:43:40 +0000 UTC]

Yes I know, and im still figuring out how to get rid of the surreal feeling.

FelixTo In reply to couleur [2007-01-01 10:57:52 +0000 UTC]

hm maybe by putting the saturation out a bit there and let a bit of sensor grain through.. that would be my way to do it
