Title: Crystal Creek
Post by: MattNQ on April 26, 2012, 09:17:37 pm

I've been working on a few shots from the other day. The ever magical Crystal Creek , north of Townsville
I'm not 100% convinced that I have steered these in the right direction, so I'm looking for a bit of feedback before I have a second crack at processing these

Thanks for taking the time.

The white balance looks seriously off with these. Way too purple. Also underexposed by at least a half stop.

I agree.

Thank you for the feedback.

I am working off an uncalibrated 13" laptop screen, so the purple cast is often not as obvious on it. I usually have to send it to work to see it on a better monitor

This one any better.....or should I just give up now ;D?

Well, it's not underexposed now, but the color is still way off. You, sir, need a calibrated monitor.
