  • St Bees big sky in mono

    Here is a shot I took 18 months ago with the E-620 originally only processed in colour but I procesed it in mono for a comp.

        Lovely image Alf Do you ever have problems balancing the horizon when clouds and reflected skies meet?

            A strong image Alf, but it needs to be rotated anti clockwise by 0.5 degrees.

              Thanks but but it probably has more problems than that but I will look at it.

                Great shot Alf, though I do find the blown out area in the middle a little distracting... have you thought of toning it down a touch?

                    Are you using calibrated monitor or have you pick this blown area out with software?
                    Photoshop tells me there are some pure white round the middle but none in the middle.

                      Perhaps "middle" was a bit of a vague description! I was meaning this bit:



                      My monitor is not calibrated, but I am finding that my eye keeps being drawn back to that area...

                        Fabulous image Alf. Wonderful sense of space enhanced by the figures, but with the added menace of that threatening storm cloud.
                        Superb.

                          The area pointed out is bright and I probably shouldnt had burned it in so much but there is only spec burned there.

                              Can't see a problem on my screen, but I am conscious that my monitor does lack detail in the brightest highlights so it might be me with the problem. Terrific shot, Alf.
