Patagonian lakes and volcanoes
« on: February 20, 2014, 08:44:55 am »

1. Villarrica volcano, Chile, at sunset, with the estuary of the Trancura river in the foreground. The volcano is not actually erupting in this shot - the glow at the summit is merely dust and ash from the volcano illuminated by the glow from the crater and the orange light of the sunset.

2. Volcan Osorno, Chile, at sunset, with Salto Petrohue in the foreground.

Beautiful - both of them; though I'd prefer to see the shadows opened up a half stop in the first. It feels heavy and two-dimensional as it is, despite the lovely foreground curve.

I like the composition of both, but they appear overly processed.

The first one's coming out much darker and much more saturated here than it appears in Photoshop - I've entered all the correct settings for Firefox to be fully colour-aware, as well as every other setting possible, but I just can't get photos to look right online. Which was never the case on my previous laptop, without a wide-gamut monitor.

It prints just fine, though.

#1 for me, lots of drama.

Yeah - to me also they look over the edge of the saturation pit.
Maybe some error in the conversion process.
I myself use a wide gamut monitor too, but don't have that problem.
I convert from ProPhoto to sRGB using perceptual intent and blackpoint compensation.

Fixed the shadows in the first one - they were getting lost in conversion.

The second image is my favorite. Lots to take in.
