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.

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.

Are we tired of my attempts at triptych's yet?

whilst this one does have similar images, i did (which is not immediately obvious) achieve one thing, i got the compositions and frame correct straight out of the camera - no croppage required.

thoughts?

never :)

OK - so my lame comments as it were...

- to me the image almost has a pano feel (like you're chopping a single image into thirds - rather than three separate images) - with that in mind...
- the left and middle parts match up quite well except the rock jutting in on the left of the middle image has a different tone/feel to the bit it matches to it's left - but could be made to blend better (lightening perhaps?)
- the horizon on the right image doesn't match the other two and could come down a fraction
- the blue of the sky in the middle image (and the right side of the left) could be lightened a fraction to better match

... what does it look like with left and right images swapped?

I reckon this is the best effort you have shown us so far and I like it. As Rodney has already stated the horizon in the RH image needs to be a fraction lower. I reckon you need to remove the watermark from all of images and have it on just one or on the border.

These are a great sequence. They fit together very well.

the lightening of teh rock would be a good idea.

I swapped the left and right images and flipped them, adjusted the now RHS to remove the outcrop rock and got all the horizons aligned.

It looks good, i am indifferent on whether it is better than the original, i will have to mull it for a while.

horizon corrected and watermarked removed - alrighty LR experts how do you put a single watermark on a triptych sequence?

... actually I was thinking swapped but not flipped (so the edges went outwards and not inwards - so a large X and not an o). I wasn't really suggesting it would definitely be better just wondering what it might look like and if it was

You've got two options - either in the print module (where you setup the triptych?) you can add a single watermark (using the Identity plate function in the right column & make yourself a suitable identity plate to use) - often onto the border area rather than the image. Or "print" the image to a file without any watermarks as a jpeg highest res and then import back into lightroom and add watermark on export. NB: I reckon the first gives you more control over placement, etc.

can you position the identity plate? i found you could only rotate it when on teh RHS of teh image.

Yes - when I've used it I can move, resize, whatever - just click on it wherever it appears on the layout and drag/rezise/stretch/ it wherever.
