It is HOT!

Eia

It's officially hot...so we went fishing.

The Lake and the Desert:

Going up toward the river we see a few birds:

We got into some bees, I get stung and we get out of there; back on the lake. I'm in pain so I lay down in the boat. Interesting perspective from here:

Finally, he gets to fish:

I like em especially, 2,5-6. is that a filter your using for the lavendar/violet or PP.

Nice shots. The last one is really cool!

I'm curious about the purple color casts as well.

Cheers,

Thank you. No filter on the camera.

I didn't think I was seeing much of a purple color cast. So, I took off the calibrated color and brought the the sunset picture up without calibrated color. It was significantly bluer. I then noticed the purple cast but it is slight on this monitor. In camera; Vivid, +2 saturation, no filter used on the lens. PP I did a black control point to bring out his silhouette a little more.

Is it too purple?

Thanks much!

very nice series.....thumbthumbbowbow...especially the last one, I really like the shooting star.......but I also see what looks like a somewhat dirty sensor.....around the fishermans head is a group of several blak dots that may be dirt on the sensor.....or could be UFO's with all lights turned off.............

Thank you for the comments. I did see the dirt spots right after I uploaded the photo and have cleaned them up. It does not take long for me to get dirt in the camera in the deserts being so arid here! I wish they were UFO's; it would be less hassle!

I'd say #2 is where saturated meets parched, Good job. Nice Muench star!

Hi Eia......Nice set of pictures....I really like the last one...

I have had some color cast problems like you have, mostly in the shadows.. It seems you are having the same problem.... Go to this site, it may explain the cause... http://www.kenrockwell.com/tech/fixing-dynamic-range.htm

According to the article RGB channels are independent and when one is clipping the others are still recording just fine, causing the problem...

I am going to return my camera to default settings and use my computer to get the saturation I want.... azzaro

Great set Eia. I'm jealous of your water, but not the bees. You are lucky you got away from them. They can be relentless. Where did you go?

Water is a precious thing for us isn't it? We went to Bartlett Lake. The water is still cold but the air is HOT! Summer is here! It still amazes me too see cactus on the water's edge.

But...but where's all the fish???

Looks a beautiful location, I loved fishing when we were kids.
Hmmmm the last time I went out in a boat was with my younger brother,
I got seasick and the fish got to eat my lunch, but not before I ate it first, they got to eat it the second time around :puke
.... waste of a good sandwhich I tell you

Sorry to hear you got stung, picked a really nice place to go fishing.
Thanks for sharing... ..... Skippy

I enjoyed this series and the storytelling. That last shot is superb!!!

Glad you have some water to get away from the heat. We're having summer temps this week also, but all our rivers are nearly dried up and the lakes are way down.

Eia

Thanks Skippy & RL. I have fed the fish a time or two. This lake was totally full; pretty rare. I hope you guys get water in the lakes and rivers soon!

Thanks for the comments. The last one summed up the day nicely.

I'm not following you here. Are you saying that you don't see a purple cast to these images? Or have you processed them to bring out the purple cast?

I saw a very slight purple cast. So, I took off the profile for the calibration. The picture then had a blue cast. I put the profile back on and it was then that I saw the difference; a slight purple cast. I did not pp the purple cast on to the picture. Since I am not seeing very much of a purple cast I am wondering if it looks too purple on other monitors. On mine, it does not look overly purple. Whew...confusing... I did at a touch of warmth and I am wondering if that did it.

1,2,4 and 5 clearly have a purple/violet cast on my calibrated monitor. I still like the images, but they do have a cast.:D

Yeah, I like the images, too. That's why the purple/violet casts concerns me. It's very noticeable on my calibrated monitor. Very.

Hmmm...I got a Vista machine about two months ago. I had to download the Spyder2 driver for the 64 bit Vista. After that I noticed that the pictures were looking different, mostly with a bluish cast but they looked ok when I pulled it up thru NX. I have re calibrated several times. Well, something else I gotta check.... thanks much!!!!!!
