Small Water Falls and Leaves

Eia

The laptop dumped the color calibration and I didn't pack my calibrator - so - I'm sort of trying the colors. I hope they are not too far off????

Local falls:

I think they look fine! Especially with fall colors and warm sunlight, my eyes expect the scene to be on the warm side. But if you're in doubt I suppose you could always place your white point on the highlights of the waterfall.

Great catches!

I like both. It´s a very nice place amazingly captured. Only a question:how did you get the "dreamy" look on the second?

Thanks much for the comment! I know some people do not like that affect. Generally I think autumn landscapes; trees, leaves, etc. make for great dreamscapes. I usually sharpen it quite a bit then give it a gaussian blur. Sometimes I skip the sharpen and just use the gaussian blur (I think it is dubbed the Norton affect) but sharpening the picture first is what gives the leaves that neat affect.
