Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master.

Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Postby [kane] on Tue Dec 23, 2008 11:32 am

Hi,

Matt, Josh, Lance and I made a quick trip to Currumbin (QLD on the Gold Coast) last weekend. We arrived right on high tide ;)

Taking the perfect shot (subject is Brad).

The rock pool.

All three shots are HDR images processed usinig Photomatrix, Photoshop 6.0 and Lightroom 2.0

This is a fantastic place and I can't believe we haven't been here before, a re-visit is planned for early Jan 09.
Have a wonderful Christmas everyone.

Enjoy.

Whilst I realise that these are very early morning they appear overly dark on my monitor.

Thanks all.

Almost all shots are 3 exposures, usually 2 down, correct and 2 up.

Blended in PhotoMatrix.

I also use Photoshop 6.0 and LR2

In some cases a small amount of PP is done on each RAW file before the HDR workflow.

Usually convert each image to 'auto' WB, depending on the shot, a use the PS soft light layer tool a bit.

Coolour and saturation correcting also.

Talk soon.
