Advertisement Posted February 8, 2007 Posted February 8, 2007 Hi John E Robertson, Take a look here Protesting Gull. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
John E Robertson Posted February 8, 2007 Author Share #2 Posted February 8, 2007 Meanwhile behind me the parents were watching. both from the same spot in St Andrews Scotland., yesterday when it was Freeeeezing!!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
imported_peter_m Posted February 8, 2007 Share #3 Posted February 8, 2007 John, I like the first shot, very nicely caught with nice tones and contrast. Don't care so much for he second one with the toning and lower contrast, You probably could fix that. Peter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuny Posted February 8, 2007 Share #5 Posted February 8, 2007 John - I like them both (but only the first version of #2). #1 is full of action, strong light, cold tone and high contrast vs. the almost painted scene, warm toned#2 -- rather static, and stronger for it, giving it a surreal look. Both excellent. I wouldn't change a thing about #2, but #1 MIGHT be a touch over sharpened, unless this is purely the effect of the harsh light and strong contrast.

John E Robertson Posted February 8, 2007 Author Share #6 Posted February 8, 2007 Stuart thanks for the worthwhile coments. Very little USM was used on #1, the light was very harsh and I had forgotten that I still had the orange filter on the lens, which didn't help.

imported_peter_m Posted February 9, 2007 Share #7 Posted February 9, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) John, Well I think your original of the two is by far better then the adjusted one. The second one lost more then it gained. Peter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
John E Robertson Posted February 9, 2007 Author Share #8 Posted February 9, 2007 peter, I think that I should have removed the orange filter, the light was already contrasty, late afternoon, and the orange filter just overdid things. Ah well c'est la vie!! One thing though, we are constantly told the CL's r/f isn't up to focussing lanses like the Nokton, I have close up shots with this combination taken at wideish apertures which show that with care , it is!!
