My thoughts on the images as shown on t.v. we're that they appeared grossly over-manipulated. The colours looked over saturated to the extent of all nature / reality had gone. Some of the figures, human & sheep , looked as though they had been cut & pasted. But not photographically, I mean CUT & PASTED!!!!

I've just glanced at the book site, &other colours look to be no different to those I saw on t.v. Last evening.


My opinion only of course.
Others are, obviously, available.

Well, they were being held-up as being of good quality.

I didn't agree & wondered if anyone here had an opinion.

Roger.

Anyone been watching c/f on BBC 1 ?

See the images of Lakeland sheep & scenery....................?


Any thoughts?

Roger.

The colour images are terrific, as others have noted!



The first three monochromes are well on the way.....

You could try having the lens axis level with the water, then all the interest is focussed on the drop itself, where the action is, rather the the surface.
It will give a more dramatic, graphic result...

Also try having a b/g of different high contrast tones, also to achieve more drama in the refracted, of shading in the splash, the water column &, if it appears, the water droplet itself.

Keep on shooting!

All the best & thanks for letting us see.

Roger.
