I recently decided to take a walk in one of the parks in Sheffield as the day began and these were the results. Would be interested in your opinions. [IMG][/IMG]
interesting that you choose to use manual WB in the way you did, and how do you feel the colours reflect the actual scene? I know the snow will reflect any light in the sky but to my eye there seems to be a little to much, and with a lot of variation.
the 4th image gives the suggestion of a little breeze, which with the 2 sec exposures probably accounts for the softness in the first 3
overall I like the last one the best; the tree has great presence and you have framed it well in it's surroundings. you have also retained a lot of detail in the snow, although it doesn't show well 'in colour'.
if I'm really honest, after the superb images you posted of the train station I expected more - they were simply stunning. You set yourself a high target.

43 m43 and legacy glass
loads of flashes and accessories from all the systems

To be honest I was trying to get the variation that the wb could offer, and at the moment I am unsure exactly what effect altering the wb will have until I see it on the computer.
I agree that there is a lot of variation in the colours the most realistic would be numbers 2,3,4. I am unsure about image number 1 but wanted some feedback from people with more knowledge on the subject, non photographers are split equally between like and dis-like. As for the "breeze" it was blowing fairly hard but again i wanted to see what a slightly extended time would do to the image.
I have PMd YOU
Many thanks

breeze, foliage and long exposure tends to provide 'blurred foliage', as with water this can be worked to provide a dreamy look - but it's hard!
you asked me to post what I had done with No 5, and here it is. it's quick and dirty but my intial objective was to see what the image looked like with the snow 'white' (one click white balance adjustment) then a spread of the blacks and whites that were there (blacker blacks and whiter whites) and a fast sharpen - oh I I liked it so much I added back a touch of blue to the sky that I lost with the exposure increase.
if I had been standing there with my camera there is little I would have done differently from you in terms of basic camera settings.
as I say, this isn't aimed to be an illustration of 'better', it's about the impact of WB and contrast/tone curves.

I have had a go at altering this again thinking about what you had said i converted it to grey scale then added just a hint of blue to the sky, sharpened it and reduced the noise.
it now looks 'realistic' to my eye, and representative of a very low light scene.
I agree and now think that it's the pick of the bunch, a very nice image indeed!
