Hey all, just got back from two weeks in Indonesia.

Thought I'd post a few of the pictures.



The next two are my 'real' first attempts at sunset shots.





I reckon they were more luck than anything else.

Cheers,

Not sure why these pics haven't received any feedback on them as they're great.

The first two would benefit from some PP just to up the saturation. Have you tried to convert the 3rd one to b&w with a bit of noise added to it? I like the effect the silhouettes have on the ancient architecture.

Thanks Wayne, I think I need to get my monitor calibrated.

The pics look different when posted to when I work on them in Photoshop. Don't know what's going on. Any ideas?



Cheers,

Either monitor calibration or colour profiles me thinks. I've noticed a fair bit of difference if you use aRGB in camera and view it in sRGB in p/shop the colours are different.

From what i've read, i managed to summarise it to the following:
for printing and web display purposes - use sRGB
when photographing and wanting to use the image for PP - use aRGB

if you want to keep it plain and simple, set your colour profile in camera to sRGB.

I like the first one. A bit more sharpening and colour would make it sing. It's a very interesting subject and you've shown it well.

The second pic, the sunset through the temples is really nice. But once again, a bit more colour will make it much better. Sunsets need a dash more colour. It is a good pic though and you've picked your spot well.

Hi Ray
I like the last image.....great shapes/negative shapes. Excellent composition.

Hi Ray,

Great photos. No.2 is my favourite. Well done. Hope you had a good time there.
