Title: after sunset colour
Post by: Wim van Velzen on January 01, 2013, 11:12:53 am

Last July we camped at Fidden Farm, Isle of Mull (Scotland). The campsite has very nice views over the Sound of Iona, with all kinds or rocky islets and a sandy beach.
Must of the time there was a fair amount of rain and dull, grey clouds.

One evening it cleared a bit after sunset. I noticed the light while sitting in the tent and came up with this:

I left the colour temperature at 5500K in PP.

I really like this kind of image... However, I stole the small image you provided and found that there was quite a lot of blue in the sky. So I  thought that this was an improvement (http://tonysx.zenfolio.com/img/s8/v74/p1359726726-5.jpg)
Please forgive me if I'm wrong....
Way, way back I took a similar shot of a Scottish loch - which is still  one of my fafourites (http://tonysx.zenfolio.com/img/s10/v2/p95272937-4.jpg)
Maybe you can reduce the blue in that?

hi Tony

Thanks for your suggestion. It is a nice alternative, a bit more contrasty and less monochrome. I think I will return to the original file and see what I like best!

Your image has the same black-out rocks against strong light. Maybe we have got a theme  :)
