Title: Sunset by the lake
Post by: MattBurt on November 14, 2024, 12:39:27 am
I made some effort to escape the office tonight to catch sunset. It did not disappoint.

It kept going into darkness

Gorgeous scene, Matt. I particularly like the third. My only criticism would be that the snow in the third - and even more so in the first - looks awfully blue.

In my experience, the light is much bluer at those altitudes.

Thanks! Yeah I often tone down the blues if I use the Adobe Landscape profile but I don't think I did that this time around.
I'd take a little more time on the edit if I was going to print.

In my experience, the light is much bluer at those altitudes.

It probably is since the sky is bluer up high but I agree that first shot in particular is a bit too much now that I look at it again.

Edit to add: I reduced blue saturation to -40 on that first shot and re-uploaded it. Looks better to me and still kind of blue but it was kind of blue. Now that makes me want to listen to some Miles Davis...

A fantastic set, glad you left your office early. It was well worth it.

I can't compare, as you've taken down the old image, but it looks quite realistic now.

Thanks, me too!

Thanks, I just replaced the original one to keep clutter under control.
