Rainy Red

neila · 01/22/07, 12:28 PM

Just playing with the M8 yesterday, trying for some interesting angles.

I was struggling to get this shot look right, the lighting wasn't good (it was raining) so I lifted it a bit in Photoshop - but the white stripe on the roof now looks too intense. I guess there's the old yin and yang, meaning there's not much one can do?

Hi Neil,
I tried to adjust the color a little bit, it's not perfect, but it looks more natural on my screen. Let me know what you think.

Or perhaps this one....

Your first is closer to an accurate colour reproduction - but I was more interested in the white stripe which is over exposed..... I'm not sure I can do much as the original was too dark I think.....

Wrong colours- it's an M8 thing.

No, it's me playing with Photoshop and not having the skills required! The M8 is doing very nicely....
