  1. Gorgeous purple on the right, the magick of HDR.

  2. Nice colors and hdr, but it’s not quite level and its got quite much vignetting in the corners.

  3. Great subject and detail on the land, the sky is a little too processed looking for my liking as the brightness detracts from the actual content a little. Really nice HDR all the same though!

    @ Amundn – thanks for introducing me to the word ‘vignetting’ 🙂

  4. I totally agree… the sky color bugs me. It reminds me of 1950s post cards. Does anyone have tips on how to avoid that blue tint?

    The flower colors are true to the original (the insanely bright purple is what caught my eye). I did not have my tripod, so it was a hand-held shot into the sun. I learned that when I am shooting 28mm wide angle with this lens, I need to remove the lens hood.

  5. reMOVE the lens hood? If it vignette’s then its designed wrong, otherwise a lens hood is always a good idea. Ansel adams used to use a bellows lens hood, extended to the right distance from the lens for each shot (view camera of course).

    Actually I kind of like vignetting. It moves the attention toward the center of the picture (as long as its mild and gradual).

    what’s wrong with 50’s color? Its cool. I’m waiting for plug-ins that convert color to typical color films of each decade and manufacturer, like the 70’s colors of Kodacolor II. Amateur films today are like culture today: oversaturated, overdramatic, too much contrast and unrealistic.

  6. oh, i like greeny blue skies (when I make them -photoedited- I see that I obtain them desaturating the red channel at the middle tones… less red makes that sky). It´s vintage, yes, it´s very ‘lomo’… it has its taste.

    See, my alien cam was very fond of taking that sort of pictures:

    Beacon of Hope - Saint Terrace´s lighthouse

    when I saw your photo I recalled this one of mine. (btw, here in this building we can´t use the terrace, so I had this summer no place to get a proper tan.) =(

  7. steve… u probably had the lens hood 45 degrees off the mark…
    …i ran into accidental vignetting when my hood was "on wrong".
    …it’ll makes sense when you look at it’s orientation when mounted on the lens….
    🙂

  8. I find a cupped hand makes for an excellent lens hood. And if it accidentally shows up in the photo…call it a personal touch.

  9. How fun… I see it keeps track of the fastest solver… currently 5 minutes.

  10. Wow! how nice!!!!

    Hey, go check now who did the best time… but most of all, go check what was the best time?! 2:32

    |-)

    (if I´d planned to do it, it couldn´t have been possible…)

  11. you should have knocked, i was home tending the light.
