Finished the PP on my shots from yesterday's Newcastle photo outing. Here are a few more for your comments. In response to Wendell's comment in the other thread of pics from this group the first of these has had the "traditional" CP blue sky effect added in PP using the Nik Color Efex polarization filter. The other two have CP out of the camera (although all three were taken with the CP filter on the camera). The last pic is an alternate take to one in the first batch. I prefer this one since it doesn't have the cathedral obsured by the giant penis in the foreground (which is actually a lookout)

12-24 DX +CP at 14mm 1/400 sec f8


70-200 VR + CP at 190mm 1/1250 sec F8


70-200 VR + CP at 102mm 1/200 sec F10

Peter - the cloud in the third one is awesome!
Just wondering what PP (if any) was done to the second image. The water looks kind of weird to me.

Thanks - the water looks kinda weird to me too - I may have been overzealous with the sharpening - I'll revisit this tonight.

Replaced the second image with one with no sharpening. In the first version the sharpening, coupled with jpeg resampling, made the waves look very odd - probably because the harbour was very choppy when I took the shot.

This new version is a decided improvement.

Edit: Plus one final image:

Very nice Peter - blue tones as good as ever (and thats a good thing)

Meerkat - thank you also for pointing out my shoddy PP work. The newer version is MUCH better.
