Penmon lighthouse with a 10stop ND filter
Isn't the sea calm? It certainly was, a near perfect day as winter goes in North Wales - this was taken on the same day I shot the Caernarfon Castle reflections, how things change in a week !! Simon

Penmon lighthouse with a 10stop ND filter
I like it :D I'm beginning to get the feeling that there is the possibility that you really know what your doing :mrgreen: Unlike me :?

First time in RAW
The sky is blue, so the white snow is reflecting blue. This happens with water as well. If you have a version of Photoshop with "Photo Filter" as an option, use the 81 filter to "correct" the image, adjusting its strength to suit. Alternatively, reset the white point in Levels. Click on the ri...

First time in RAW
When taking pictures with snow and sun, it's best to use a strong UV filter. It saves a lot of work in post processing.

First time in RAW
Thanks guys :) Some ideas there - Yves Now I should have thought of that - me bad and I have a UV filter for all my lenses :( I didn't think it was that strong at 8.15 am - but obviously was. The Master of that version is quite dark . Even my glasses are photochromatic - so would hav...

First time in RAW
The UV filter would work with film better than digital. In any event, modern lenses filter out UV very effectively anyway. Certainly AWB would not be a good idea as it will try to "correct" any shift in colour. I would use daylight setting. A CPL will rarkem the blue sky potentially but not sure ...

Frosty morning...
Lovely set with the colour dog walkers the stand-out image to me. Perhaps crop the top a little to get rid of some of the blown highlights and perhaps a slight ND graduated filter to bring out the details in the clouds a little more. If you shot RAW you could even try two conversions and blend the...

A Walk from Rhyd Ddu, Snowdonia
Unfortunately the weather turned a bit wet for most of the walk, with the camera constantly in/out of the bag (what for WR I hear you shout :lol:). Some shots were ruined with rain drops on the filter appearing in the shots. The light wasn't great, but did improve slightly towards the end. ...

Field view, winter
These are intriguing lines in under the crop! I've cropped away some sky, had a play with contrast and brightness, and dropped an ND filter down from the top. It probably hasn't made that much of a difference, and I'm happy to remove it should you wish Roger.

Field view, winter
Thanks, i-Berg. The lines in the sky, along with the texture of the field & the balance of the trees in the image, were what I was trying to capture! Although I said "disappointing" in the title, the way the sky had a "layered" look was quite intriguing but how I could have brought that out in t...

Field view, winter
The ND filter did improve the sky somewhat, it was because I chose to change the proportion of sky to ground that informed the crop. The intention was to focus the eye more on the intriguing lines in the field. :)

Creative Contrast
If the manipulation is restricted to using just the sliders, that might be right. However, when they're used in combination with the other tools available in LR3 (the ND filter & brush specifically), a lot more can be achieved.

Lapwings
Well done on capturing these images. From personal experience I know how hard it is and my results have never been much good. The NR filter seems to work very well, so well I've just downloaded it myself.:D Nice tip Stuey. :wink:

Mist Trees
I'd consider split-toning no.1 - keep the touch of colour in the sky, but lose the green in the grass. What thoughton said about the last shot (3). In fact, if I import it into Lightroom, its got massive amounts of colour information. If you'll excuse my poor effort... this is with a very quick B...

High Force, ideas welcome
Hope you don't mind, I had a go at it, not sure if it is any improvement. I tried mono first, but it didn't seem to work, so I applied a graduated filter to the top left, burned the midtones on the mountain in the top left a bit, cropped it, then used Topaz Adjust to bring out some more colour. Last...

New year 2010/11
These came from fireworks (yes, I know that one is OOf, it appears i have a very large backfocus problem at infinity, though it may be my camera...) Mostly 3s or so, 3 stop ND filter in use. Bret

Sharpen experiment
Thanks, Gareth & Gwyn. In PSE9: Duplicate layer. Convert layer to mono. Unsharp. Blend "Overlay" Filter/Other/High Pass. (Recommended settings) Merge layers. Adjust light/Contrast. (Also refer to Axel's post in Cameraboy's "Singapore botanical gardens" post of 29.12.10) It's great here...

Now I seem them - the classic string of pearls. I take it you are arranging to exchange it? Back on topic did you use a filter for your photos?

Solar eclipse this morning
Yes, I was waiting until after Christmas so will probably (re)contact SRS this week. I didn't use a filter, only because I forgot to :)

Keep it or lose it
Stay ... it was there, you should tone the sky down a little though. Yes, Stay. It's an archive street shot. And yup the sky needs a grad filter dragged trom top left to centre to tone down that overlighy light area
