Too cold?

[hoodmeister]

Looking for help on this one, specifically if people feel it's too cold. Other C&C appreciated, but i'm specifically looking for opinions on the blue-ness-ness

 

[hoodmeister]

I like it! But then, I get slated for my processing so

For what it's worth, I really like what you do with your shots

 

[hoodmeister]

ahhh align it align it it's all squank!!! lol my neck hurts now

I like the effect tho.

The whole building is wonky - it looks very dodgy in a different way if I level it (the window goes all gay) and decided that, in the end, I preffered it at a tilt.

 

[hoodmeister]

Quickly processed another one I took with a level horizon, to show people what I mean about the wonky building.

The dark patch in the top left is vignetting. Had spotted it, but forgot to fix it - easy enough to sort out. Ta
Hadn't spotted the damn grass. The stuff always seems to sneak into my IR shots :| Thanks for pointing out.
Yeah, the blue title // sig was intended to be blue, I just used the colour picker from a patch of the shot. I found a hard white to be too distracting - but then i'm not very hot on borders. May try something like a cream or slight gray.

Cheers, your thoughts are appreciated!

It works on a wonk! This isnt Maths where you get lunch time detention for not using a ruler!

wonk 1 or wonk 2?

I spent flippin' ages considering the composition on this one. Nearly froze my 'nads off - and it was raining :<

 

[hoodmeister]

loving the tripod eh hood!

whats the exif data? how long was the exposure?

Ooooohhh yes. I flippin' love this tripod. Cheers to everyone who steered me in the right direction - I really don't think I could have made a better decision

Both these shots were 30 second exposures, shooting fully manual (inc. focusing) EXIF data should be intact...

It's a testament to this tripod that I can easily shoot bulb exposures of 60 seconds + and get good sharp results. I really should get a remote release though :s

 

[hoodmeister]

Something like this, sir?

edit : Yeah, 190 Pro & 460MG head.

055 is nice looking, but a bit heavy for me (I like to go walking etc..)

edit : how about a composition of "hot" and "cold" - that may work.

I'll give it a crack, although I'll fix the image first (vignetting, grass)

 

[hoodmeister]

What is so special about those bags? They just look ungainly to me, I use a generic bag on my 190 Pro

Do they lighten the tripod?

edit : I was considering getting one when I got my tripod, till I saw the price tag...

 

[hoodmeister]

Right, sorry for questioning you on that

No matter, I don't need one, because my 190 Pro isn't too heavy ¬_¬
I wouldn't want it lighter - won't get to be big n' strong then!

Right, fixed the vignetting and rude grass, and have bodged this togethor. Opinions?

 

[hoodmeister]

Righty, Made a few further adjustments, adjusted and toned down the colours a touch.
I think I'm happy with this now

 

[hoodmeister]

God damn it, there are so many different things you can do with this image.
divine_madness just sent me this - I really like it, what do others think?

 

[hoodmeister]

How did you do that could effect?

"long exposure"

 

[hoodmeister]

Can people elaborate further on what they mean by align?
Do you mean remove the black bar, or rotate the images so that the window verticals are perfectly vertical, or something else?

Cheers

 

[hoodmeister]

aha, I see sir!

Will have a crack at that and post back my results ¬_¬

 

[hoodmeister]

Howzat? I added the black line down the middle because, to me at least, the two distinct tones looked really odd next to one another.

 

[hoodmeister]

hur hur

This whole thread is like the progression of an image ¬_¬

Might see what it looks like with a 1px wide white // light border then a black border - the corrugated iron sort of bleeds into the frame, at the moment.

Cheers for all your input & help here guys

 

[hoodmeister]

You're faster than me :O

Not sure... Think I'll look at it again tommorow and see what I think
