We changed position for Bridge last night , so used tripod , manual mode , mf ,self timer.seem bit better than last attempt ,however have really noticed different colours from pentax raw browser to adobe photoshop lately .We have cameras ,printer, monitors set to adobe RGB 1998 colour .Look forward to all comments .

Looking pretty good, Sue - nicely exposed and love those light trails.

You should convert Adobe RGB 1998 to sRGB prior to uploading to the web - which may explain why this is a little lacking in contrast. I also performed a small rotate to correct the tilt:


Altered levels, rotate, clone out lamp

The thinking is to use Adobe for everything (as it has a larger colour palette) and just sRGB for web display (otherwise you can suffer from muted colours)

A good composition as well as the above points mentioned Chickadee. I like the way the eye is led along and around the bridge and on through the picture, gives a sense of depth and interaction with the shot. Definitely needed that tilt sorting, it was a long way off so you just succeeded in flooding everyone who lived downstream along the river <g>

On the point about changing to sRGB rather than Adobe 1998, remember to do this before saving for the web so you can see the way the colours look. What I mean is, don't simply convert to sRGB just before you upload it. Make your adjustments with sRGB in mind so that there is no shift when you put them online. The usual problem is pictures look darker when they are Adobe 1998 shown online.

Good job with the focusing this time round

Cheers,
Rob

I liked how you changed the tilt. But, can you tell me, is it wrong to like the soft deep look of the first picture? I know how the first picture is a little blurry, but I kinda like it that way, it kinda makes the pic glow. Is my way of thinking wrong? I have noticed that many of you guys like for the foregroud to be in complete focus. I must just be naive.

beautiful image especially once tweaked!

slightly off topicish..... but how do you find out what things are set at and how do u change things for the web........ i dont change any colour settings nor do i have a clue what its all set at!

one of the neat things abt photo stuff is very often there is no right or wrong,. a good or bad image comes down in large part to subjective opinion,. I personally like the feel of the first image but others may disagree

As Sil says, no right and wrong tho' you do tend to find 'togs leaning towards the more technical detail. So, it's very much up to you, tho' worth pointing out that it's deliberate!

Worth mentioning that I had no probs with the soft look but there seemed to be a slight colour cast, so lessened the orange (by adjusting levels)

thanks ..this is such a learning curb ,as often you can look at a photo and unless things are pointed out ie tilt in bridge ,its easy not to see them

thanks for comments , i agree there is no right or wrong to a degree .I believe its how you visually see a subject then how you wish to portray it.To me its a individual choice ,style ,likes and dislikes and how you interperate it.Having comments from others helps you look at photos in different ways and how with a tweak in photo shop you can achieve many different effects.There is just so many aspect to consider before we press THE button.
