Description The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep...

Lovely shot. What if anything did you do to this to get the color that you did?

Oh wow, thanks!
I used a preset in Adobe Lightroom to edit this. The colour caught my eye so I kept it as is.

Looks like IR with the whiteness of the trees, and blueness of the sky.

You're right. It does. Never saw it that way before.

But it wasn't IR.
Thanks for your comment. I have a strange urge to take IR photos right now. Hah.

I assume you've got an IR filter? Aren't they great?

scorcher002 In reply to MasterFruityLoops [2008-11-02 03:55:08 +0000 UTC]

I've used my boyfriend's filter before, but I don't own one myself.
And yes, they are very very fun. I need more practice with them though!

Just don't use a kit lens! You'll get awkward circles in the middle of the pic.

Kit lens? Never heard of that before, but I'll keep it in mind. Thanks for the advice!

Oh, shoot! That's not what I meant about the kit lens. My bad... [link]

That's why I suggested away from the kit lens. (18-55). I dunno, try it with yours. It might not get that circle.

MasterFruityLoops In reply to scorcher002 [2008-11-08 16:22:33 +0000 UTC]

Well, I say kit lens as in like... the 18-55mm I mean, that's what came with the camera, right? I'm just sayin', a wider angle might've made it a bit better.

scorcher002 In reply to MasterFruityLoops [2008-11-08 23:20:50 +0000 UTC]

My lens is 18-135mm, and yeah, it came with the camera. It's a good lens though.
Actually I wish I had taken more shots like this while I was there. I haven't found any more tree shots like this yet.

Thanks again.

It was quite random... I had no idea it would turn out well.

I really appreciate your input. I love to hear what people think about my work. It's very encouraging.

Thank you.

I've heard that before... but I haven't quite accepted the compliment yet. Haha.
I guess I'm just critical about my work.

I love that you're looking up. Few people do. And you had time to stop, unlike R.F.

The lighting is wonderful. I like how each tree is lit differently: Some are fully in light, some are fully in shadow, and others are degrees in between.

Ruk89 In reply to Karstaag [2008-03-12 13:05:44 +0000 UTC]

I second that!
But how about a little bigger fullview size? I'd love to see it in more details. I assume thats possible as it has 9,7 mb

scorcher002 In reply to Ruk89 [2008-03-12 19:43:03 +0000 UTC]

Haha, thanks guys.

Okay, it's now bigger!
I think it kind of looks different since it's bigger. Not in a bad or good way, but just different.

Haha, Felix, yes this picture could get a lot bigger.

Ruk89 In reply to scorcher002 [2008-03-12 20:24:56 +0000 UTC]

Ah, in my opinion it looks better now! You can see the little clouds now^^
By the way, on what did you focus? On the tree in the right edge?

scorcher002 In reply to Ruk89 [2008-03-12 21:24:35 +0000 UTC]

Umm, I didn't really focus on anything... I just turned the ring until it looked in focus in my viewfinder!

I'm glad you think it looks better bigger. I'm beginning to think so too.
