    Beautiful pictures. Of course, I'd rather be where I'm at in sunny and warm Florida.

    Hi Jewel!! thanks and welcome (did I say that already? so many new people). I keep going out and looking for SOMETHING that is not frozen to shoot! I'm desperate. Where in Florida are you? I'm visiting friends next week for a few days of snorkling and sun... and photographs (hopefully).
    :D

    Amazing shots, Lynnma. To improve beyond those is going to be a tall order.

    I love the shots from Saturday. Could be postcards or National Geographic or somthing. As Baldy says, not much room for improvement.

    The pond shot from today has a cyan cast in the high midtones. You can see that the sky isn't true blue, but you know it must really have been less green because of the reflection in the pond. That means that there is too much yellow in the very light parts of the photo:

    I corrected this:

    3154636-L.jpg

    I lost some detail in the clouds when I did this. Part of the problem is tha tthe ski is overexposed. I don't think you could really help this. The subject of the photo is the pond and you do want that to be properly exposed.
    Anyway, to make a long story short, you can probably make the sky blue and retain the cloud detail with a little plate blending if it matters. It wasn't worth doing on the low res image.
    If not now, when?

    Thanks Rutt, I can see the improvement in the cyan cast. Maybe I'll try the shot again and do a Waxy on it. Two exposures, one for the pond, one for the sky.

    Great shots Lyn. I think you are a touch over exposed on some of them. It sure would be cool if you could give some details of the shots. Shutter speed, ISO, aperture, lens focal length. I bumped the exposure down a bit on the second pic. This is closer to what I would be looking for.

    Really nice shots, Lynn! That's two days in a row, girl!

    Hey, I was reading about polarizing filters just now, and wondering if they would help with your dilemma - bright sky and dark subject? Anyone here have enough experience with polarizing filters to say if one would solve Lynn's challenge?
