Autumn in southern New Zealand
I feel like I've learnt something from looking at Chuck Curtos
photographs and reading the comments people made about them. Thought I'd ask if someone would do the same for me... http://www.pbase.com/mapleglen/autumn If you have time I'd appreciate any comments very much. Thanks, Rob. -- |

You have some nice images, many in my opinion just need a little processing. Small ones need some sharpening. White skys make an image look washed out; same for all white (overexposed) clouds. For example: JeanAtMilford.jpg The clouds are mostly white and overexposed. If in your original they are not overexposed, select the sky (this can be a loose selection), feather maximum (250 in photoshop) then change the contrast with the curves tool to show detail in the clouds. Invert the selection and change contrast for the rest of the scene. Images can be made to have more impact with the curves tool: make the line going up at 45 degrees to be below the original 45 degree trend at the low end, and, if needed to lighten, above the original 45 degree trend at the high end (make the transfer function more s-shaped). This increases contrast and and apparent saturation. I never use the contrast tools in photoshop as they are additive and can blow out the highlights too easily. I only use levels and curves. Roger |
