Shot these three this evening. Not normally my type of thing, but the link is to the RAW files. Untouched by me. Are you sure about that? Those look like LR adjusted DNGs to me not unmolested NEF's. That said it was simple enough to reset and start again. ;-) If you want to play around with them, and do drastic things to the sky, go for it. Maybe not drastic, but a different interpretation. The scene is Lake Monroe in Sanford FL and the pilings are where the docks used to be when people came down the St John's River from Jacksonville to Sanford by boat. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/kamujyxh0...8TH1VseMa?dl=0 ....and here is what I did with the first one. https://db.tt/FEJxOX2i -- Regards, Savageduck |

It's like that even after a reset. It confuses me. |

It's like that even after a reset. It confuses me. The water is reflecting more than the open sky, there are cloud. Also, the water is not a perfect mirror due to any waves, ripples, etc. and the position of the Sun is also playing a part. -- Regards, Savageduck |

Untouched by me. Are you sure about that? Those look like LR adjusted DNGs to me not unmolested NEF's. That said it was simple enough to reset and start again. ;-) Nope. I uploaded them to LR with no presets and didn't do anything in Develop except set the lens profile to the lens I used. All images are automatically converted from NEF to DNG in the import dialog, but if that adjusts, then I'm not aware that it does. All three DNG's have Basic Panel, and sharpening settings made as if they were applied at import. The lens profile has not been applied. You might want to check your import settings. Here is what was delivered: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1295663/FileChute/screenshot_151.jpg If you want to play around with them, and do drastic things to the sky, go for it.

This is a case where the sky could be made a bit more threatening with good effect. In looking at it, I wish I would have shot from an angle so the three pilings do not touch the far line of trees. I'd consider chopping off the top of those pilings to get separation. (This isn't photojournalism.) -- Regards, Savageduck |

I stopped and fired off these shots rather quickly. In looking at them as processed photos, I see the need to take more photos of a scene like this from different angles. Shooting the same scene again, I'd move to an angle where the piling with the plant on top is not blocking the more distant piling group. Just a few feet to the left or right might separate them. Also, I'd try a shot from a lower position to get that piling group so it doesn't touch the far shore that way. I keep telling myself, when I'm out with my camera, to shoot wider than I think I need to, and shoot more frames from different angles than I think I need to. But, I don't always remember to do so. Memory is cheap, shoot more. That looks like a good location to make some interesting vista shots. Anyway, thanks for letting us play, and trying to keep this floundering photography group on an even keel. -- Regards, Savageduck |

Here is what was delivered: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1295663/FileChute/screenshot_151.jpg One mystery solved, another created. Looking at the import dialog, I had a "Sports" setting in "Apply during import" that I haven't used since baseball season. I forgot to remove that. Good thing you caught it because it's bringing in other photographs with that preset. However, I do show the images are corrected to the lens profile for the Tamron 18/270 that was using. All images in that batch (there were more than these three) are corrected as I thought. Just do a batch reset. -- Regards, Savageduck |

I prefer the warmer colors. And the warmer color of the clouds makes them stand out more from the sky, giving some depth. There are four items out in the water near the center. IMHO, three of them need to be gone. I think the green topped buoy can stay. -- Ken Hart |
