As usual Amazing shots, Really love number 4, do you sell big prints lol?
Cheers. If your genuine about buying prints, then please feel free to contact me on the email in my trust. Prices start at £25 for a window mounted A4 print.
Lovely shots. 5 is the big of the bunch for me, as I just like the reflection. I'm wondering if it's shopped though, as I'm just curious as to why there isn't a reflection of the equally high land to the right of the castle?
Just serves to remind me that I've never actually been to Scotland. In fact, I've rarely been long outside of Yorkshire (excluding uni)
Nope, not been shopped (Other than the obvious B&W conversion and toning, and a bit of dust removal etc). The reason you can't see the land to the right of the castle in the reflection is because its set quite a bit further back in the scene and is infact across some water.
How have you manged to hardly venture out of Yorkshire? Fair enough Yorkshire is a lovely part of the world (Im a Yorkshire lad myself), but theres plenty more out there to see. Book yourself a holiday to see the world.
What sort of processing method do you do on these images, especially 7,9 and 10 if you dont mind me asking? You seem to have a really nice processing method on the majority of your shots, just cant put my finger on it though...
The processing varies a lot on these images. 8 and 9 have had very little done to them other than dust removal, slight level tweaks, contrast boosts etc. 7 however has had loads done. I painstakingly cloned out loads of bits of stones, and dirt from the sand. Ive used a lot of dodging and cloning. Ive also run a noise removal filter on a copy of the image, which over softened the whole image. I then used a layer mask to reveal detail where I wanted it, while retaining the softness and ethereal nature of the filtered areas.
very nice work
Kind of stuff I intend to be taking when I get off my arse and go out to take them! What lens out of interest? Looks like a nice super wide?
Tom.
As alexisonfire has said, its the Sigma 10-20mm, although 2 and 5 were shot with the 30mm f1.4
Sigma 10-20
Excellent stuff as always Mr.Khan! Same goes for your other holiday threads. The last stag one, thats a keeper! That 300mm f/2.8 doesn't look to shabby either, best impulse buy ever?
Cheers. Aye, its a bit of a beast the 300mm f2.8 Im going to have to do some proper tests on it though as there are far too many shots coming out with mis focus. I think it might be back focusing slightly. The other problem is the the cameras focus retecule often covers the more than the target focus area so doesnt quite know where to focus. Do any of the higher end cameras (D200, D2Xs) have smaller focusing reticules?
1 and 2 don't do much for me; perhaps I don't see much in the foreground, but after that it's wow! 7 is my favourite.
Cheers
Blimey! These are excellent!
Not so keen on 10, the subject is a bit boring IMO, and the jet stream detracts from the image also in this instance.
Number 6 is a little bit dark, but the others are generally stunning! Keep it up
Thank you. I actually thing the jetstream help to balance and give a focus point to the image.
Fantastic selection
Cheers.
No. 4 and No. 8 for me. I also quite like the bleakness of No. 6.
Thank you
