Landscape - 8

Posted by drphoto (Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom) on 8 April 2008 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

This is what the scene looked like without the sunset filter on. It was magical. I went to Holy Island specifically for the sunset but never expected to be so richly rewarded.

All of these colours were actually present; I did boost contrast and saturation to make them more apparrent; and I have also combined two RAW shots because I could not have captured these colours and the sun at the same time, but the dynamic range of the Fuji SR sensor was a real bonus in helping to get what I wanted from the scene.

I've spent most of last month working on images to put on my (currently under construction) website. Most of them I won't be posting here but landscape photography is the area I'm most interested in getting into so I figured, why not put them out there (or on here)!

I am 80-90% satisfied with these images; I like to photograph wild places and dramtic landscapes but I'm not sure if my processing seems a little... amature. So please be as harsh as you can regarding post processing as well as composition, lighting, subject matter etc: I'm looking to improve!

I welcome all constructive comments, compliments and criticisms.
I am here to learn. the fastest way for me to learn is for you to be really unforgiving and articulate in your criticism =D)

If you don't have time to comment don't forget to give a star rating as you pass through!
