Title: Starting a short series from the Olympic Peninsula
Post by: David Eckels on May 25, 2013, 04:59:53 pm: I have been looking for that Zen moment...the sound of one hand clapping. I liked this because it reminded me of some Asian works of art: One Tree Leaning ;) Enjoy. Comments welcome as always.

Post by: David Eckels on May 27, 2013, 11:19:42 pm: A few more. For the first, I have trouble with the intensity of the green, but that's what I remember; not the strongest compositionally, I think, but it reflects the day.
EDIT: I just looked at these and the color is way off; too much wine?

Not sure how you managed to get those weird colors in the last three photos. Are you sure that it was red wine and not antifreeze? :D

Post by: SunnyUK on May 28, 2013, 10:26:35 am: I see it as well. The weird, green colours, that is. And I'm using Firefox on a colour managed monitor on a PC running Windows 7.

Post by: David Eckels on May 28, 2013, 10:37:38 am: I am wondering if there are different color renderings at different websites or perhaps it is entirely me. In LR/PS, that green is not so very saturated, but it is also tinted wrong. Maybe WB is off somehow.

Post by: David Eckels on May 29, 2013, 07:05:51 pm: I hope somebody is enjoying my buffoonery :'( I had some weird WB that was giving me fits and the goofy tints. Fooled my eyes completely and wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes :o Anyway, reposting, redone properly for your edification and amazement ;) Sometimes I's slow.

Head out from Port Townsend towards Port Angeles. You can stay on SR104 to US101, but I got off on SR20 and just kept wandering west. If I found an interesting side road, I took it to get off the main highway. Shot along the way.

Post by: Chris Calohan on June 02, 2013, 10:18:38 am: I'm going up the western side of the peninsula,then along the top. I'm hoping I'll be able to hire a boat to take me places no roads go and get some different perspectives.
