Description A Western Sky Fire

Captured a couple nights ago in Rocky Mountain National Park, as the sun was setting over Longs Peak....I was awe struck and just flat out inspired! Amazing scene and one which I will always remember! Processed in HDR, let me know what ya think!

alexandriatiffany [2009-05-17 02:42:32 +0000 UTC]

Oh, wow. It's so pretty!
I would turn down the saturation on the clouds one or two percent, though. It kind of made my eyes literally ache a bit.

kkart In reply to alexandriatiffany [2009-05-17 03:36:32 +0000 UTC]

Thanks!
But no on the saturation, it is color profiled I am not sure what browser you are using? And this image did very well on Naturephotographers.net Are you using IE or FF with color profiling turned on? IE doesn't have the ability to display that

alexandriatiffany In reply to kkart [2009-05-17 03:43:49 +0000 UTC]

It's IE. I actually have no idea what color profiling is...

kkart In reply to alexandriatiffany [2009-05-17 13:09:50 +0000 UTC]

That is the problem more than likely. Here, I wrote this time back, a journal about it, check it out! "Are You Being Color Blind To Art?"

alexandriatiffany In reply to kkart [2009-05-17 16:49:07 +0000 UTC]

Just read it. Truthfully, it only left me wondering what version of IE was messed up so bad.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

kkart In reply to alexandriatiffany [2009-05-17 17:02:21 +0000 UTC]

All version of IR are messed up and don't display color the way they are intended to be. You should download Safari and see what you have been missing, the art will come alive! It is a BIG difference!

alexandriatiffany In reply to kkart [2009-05-17 17:24:28 +0000 UTC]

Not today. I'm so broke I can seriously hardly afford food, much less a new program. Why did the journal say that the colors were dulled in IE?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

kkart In reply to alexandriatiffany [2009-06-02 17:45:34 +0000 UTC]

You sound like me!

Dulled in IE because IE can't read color profiles
