G'day,
Couldn't resist going for a nice cruise through the country-side on such a beatiful day... Took the trusty D70 (and Tripod in the boot), ended up at Marysville and wandered up to Stevenson Falls... Beautiful spot, could park the bum there and just take it all in... Took a couple of shots, but gotta get an ND to slow the shutter, tried using the polariser but not the same... Blew out a tiny spot in the water too! Damn!!!



Cheers,
Mudder

great shot andrew... is it just my eyes or is there a blue tinge to the shot?

cheers

I think you might be right... I was stuffing around with the WB and maybe I've stuffed it up... Doh!

The colour balance is off a bit on my monitor. Try this, open the image in Photoshop and click on auto colour. It seems to correct that prticular image very well.

Thanks for the tips guys... Went back to the NEF and found that unless I used a color temp of at least 7250 or higher (in Nikon Capture) to even out the blue tint??? Tried using "set gray point" and similar result...

When I use "calculate automagically" in NC it arrives at a color temp of 8k...

Hmmm??? Was early morning and shady, no direct light... Hmmm... Haven't struck that before...

Great pic I'm heading up to Warburton in couple of weeks time, so you've given me an extra incentive to take a detour through Marysville....even tho it's a long detour

Mudder, Buxton isn't a bad spot either if you're up that way

In some cases, long exposures can cause a colour shift, although from what you were saying about ND filters, your exposure couldn't have been too long.

G'day,
I think the exposure was only about 1.6 - 2 seconds on most shots... This one was only 1.6 seconds... When I change the WB in Nikon Capture to "shade" it comes up OK, so I assume it was due to being early in the day (about 09:00) and no sun was getting through the canopy to this spot???
