Sunrise at Punta Cana, Dominican Republic

kdog

We were here for a week two months ago. I still find myself going back through pictures and wishing I was still there.

Here's a sunrise taken with the Canon 10-22 EF-S at 10mm, with the perspective corrected in PS-2.


With the correction applied, it's probably more like 12 or 14mm I reckon.

He's the same capture, but with no correction.



You get more scenery in the shot, at the expense of the wide-angle perspective distortion.

Some saturation was added, but it's still exactly how it looked at the time (although I was on acid! :wink).

I think I like the distorted one better!

Thanks for looking,

It's a beautiful sky. Have you tried doing some shadow/highlight processing? The silouhette is just a bit too much. Looks like there may be enough exposure to bring out some detail in the palm trees.

Erich,

Thanks. Here's a version of the uncorrected file with some shadow treatment applied.



It's an interesting effect. I'd be interested in knowing if this is more what you had in mind.

Thanks and regards,
