Trip up North

All fixed now...

Today, I managed to get away to take some photos. I was very lucky with the weather. I have loads to sort out but I thought I would post one of the snaps just now

Loch Chon

Shot with a polariser, found that having the polariser on with the uv filter gave a very slight vignette on the top (all fixed now

)

Loch Chon just outside Aberfoyle.

Loch Arklet and the Arrochar Alps

Brilliant weather today, tbh. Helensburgh would have been nice today as well, passed by not far from there this morning on way to Balloch.

I was in Balmaha for the sunset photos. Unfortunately didn't get anything of note.

Just seen second pic, I like it a lot better except I think you should clone out the distraction at the bottom right.

I have a different version of the second photo which I might be saving for the competition

Loch Arklet and the Arrochar Alps (again)

Strax · 18 Feb 2006 at 22:43

maybe not but I'll put it in the comp entry thread and see what you think

Thats the first time I have been along the road to the Inversnaid hotel, photo oportunities about every 100 yards

Strax · 18 Feb 2006 at 23:15

Bigger pics!

I did but they were just too big, so I had to reduce them all.

can i ask what camera / lens you used for these?

All of the above were taken with a D50 and the kit lens except for the second arrochar alps one which was a Nikkor 55-200 zoom

My only suggestion would be some levels adjustments. Some look perhaps a tad washed out, IMO.

I have really only started with CS2 so still trying to find my feet. I agree that most of the shots posted could probably do with a little boost. Thanks again
