Great shot, What camera and settings did you use?

dublinguy05 · 03-11-2005 10:05am

rabbitinlights this was taken with a canon a60, 2mega pixel camera, it was a simple point and shoot shot, but I done some post processing work in photoshop, I changed the sky, increased the contrast using levels, a little dodge and burn, I then converted it too bw and finally sharpened the image in lab 16 mode. I just got this printed at 10 x 8 and its looks great, used the steeping process in photoshop to enlarge. I will post the original later when i get home from work there is a dramatic difference,

I was just going to comment on how striking the sky is against the ship ..

Was that the real sky enhansed with Photoshop or was that copied in as a background layer?

The sky used was taken in my back garden, I copied in as a layer.

The sky isn't quite right. Right of the ship where the sky touches the horizon. It too detailed for something thats 14 miles away. Otherwise great pic.

Personally I wouldn't do an alteration like that, and knowing it is altered takes alot away from the picture in my view ... but to each their own

The sky is "wrong" though, the way the clouds that are still relatively close disappear behind the horizon is a tell tale sign that the sky is not the original sky.

Could you post the original picture just to compare?

This is the original picture, it was only a 10 minute job in photoshop, I could have played around a little more with the sky, but its the boat that attrast peoples attention.

If anything i think the sky adds to the shot. The original is really rather bland, your ps skills to my taste have really enhanced the picture, wish i could get to grips with PS to enhance mine.Great effort.

Very nice shot. The contrast and tones reminds me of Ansel Adams, especially the clouds.
