Satyre's photos thread

[Blunkka]

I really like the thunderstorm. I guess having a bit more sky included could enhance it further but overall, the strongly contrasting colors work really nicely.

[Satyre]

Thanks

I was really lucky to have a such exposure on the vertorama one. The sky was very dark in the background while the hill was lit by a short rift in clouds.

The two black stripes aren't really fine, I know...

I like both shots a lot, although the composition of the lower one is a bit weird, you have trees with vertical lines and then you have felled trees with diagonal lines leading you out of the picture.

The top and bottom borders on the first one aren't that bad tbh, they accentuate the horizontal flow of the composition.

Keep up the good work

[Satyre]

Thank you.

That's what I like on this

Finally, I got my Photomatix licence a few days ago : )

nice shots Satyre. I can't wait till spring hits here. I want to get out to and take pictures with color, heh

[JeanPaul]

Yo man I think its time for something other than sunsets (dont hate me)

[Satyre]

Niark niark niark Ok, let's go for sunrises...

What do you have against my sunsets/sunrises? ^^ I really love doing photos at dusk or at dawn, colors are the most interesting.

As a matter of fact, my country is a little bit boring now... only uninteresting fields as far as the eye can see... I'm looking forward to the summertime, when fields are colored by bloomy grasses and when trees get their leaves. There, I could do something new

Thank you Dark for nice words

Well, for you JP:

Don't tell me to stop HDR-forest shots

[Sector-Effector]

Please continue to make HDR forest shots

I totally dig the setup in this picture. Those two dead trees in the foreground really give the picture a direction.

Oh and: Sunsets ftw \o/

[Satyre]

Hehe, thank you

A new one I've just taken and propably the best I've ever done.

hey JP, how do you feel about HDR now? Still hating it?

[JeanPaul]

Yes, its horrendous. Your images would be so much better without it.

Give me the normal exposure original raw file for that image and you will see exactly what I am talking about.

[Satyre]

I don't think so... but I'm very curious, the raw file has been sent to you. It's not exactly the same shot, but a pretty similar one of the same place from where the image was taken from.

In that way, there's zero assemblage to do.

Here's my version:

I'm looking forward to your version JP

[mjens]

My version. Removed bunch of unnatural colors from trees that HDR did to them (replace color > desaturate weird colors from edges), pumped up some contrast to get unnatural creepy shadows that makes the scene more "movie-like". That's all

[JeanPaul]

Hey, you sent me the overexposed one. Of course I cant make it look as good as yours if the entire image is blown out

Send me the properly exposed one and I will show you want I am talking about!
