Southdowns View From above Treyford with mist clearing in the distance . Comments welcomed.

The land area is ok but the sky is distracting for me, burnt out in parts but the colours are just a bit strange. Given the brithness of the sky and the resulting noise, I am assuming this was originally quite dark and has been lifted. Nothing wrong with that of course but maybe a selective lift leaving the sky along and just lightening the land. I could be entirely wrong, maybe you exposed for the land which has led to the sky being blown, hard to tell. Given that it was 1/500th second at f10, I think it is almost certainly the former though.

What adjustments brought out the colour like this Foxes? Would be interesting to know what post-pro work has been done so far. It could be just a tad heavy on saturation, I am intrigued to know. I am not critical of using post-pro in any way as you know. I just want to know what has been done.

Cheers,
Rob

This is one i played about with some time ago.using Picasa.It was an attempt to convey the strange light conditions at the time ,using my limited ability and simple post pro facilities.I have seen conditions like this on occasions Usualy there is rain to follow .I was trying to show the larger than life colouring i have noted sometimes.And the clarity

Interesting processing. What is Picasa David? I haven't seen that but I have heard a couple of people mention it.

Cheers,

Picasa is a bit of free software from google Rob.

We have three layers here, and I share Rob's thoughts on the sky. The middle is hazy (the mist rising, no doubt) and the bottom is such a contrast that it is almost alien to the rest of the shot.

I think there is the potential to get more out of the image, perhaps with a replacement sky, and some further work on the rest of the image. Maybe a crop of most of the sky.

Maybe you could post the original so we can see what journey you have made to get here?
