Lighthouse Park


I went to Lighthouse park to try to get a picture when the sun was setting dawn but I came there just a little bit to late. I was able to get few nice sunset photos from the other side of the lighthouse but when I came to this side the sun was already dawn. This photo is my PS version but I added my original photo to show how dull that photo really was.

Ég hef lent í þessu svo oft að koma nokkrum mínutum of seint og það er svekkjandi eftir að hafa keyrt langar leiðir. Myndin er eigi að síður þrælgóð og myndbyggingin flott!

Takk Birkir :) Í þessu tilfelli keyrði ég framhjá afleggjaranum sem lá niður að þessum vita. Ég á eftir að fara þarna oft því það tekur mig ekki nema 15 -20 mínútur að komast þangað.

This spot looks just fantastic! Whenever I am out trying to get photos of sunrise/sunset, and it's not working out, i'll always pop off 3 shots using AEB to see if a HDR can get me some nice detail...

You've worked some magic with PS :) I don't have much talent in that area, so i've gotta try and do it all in-camera :P

Thanks for you nice comment :) The most talented photographers do it all in the camera :) what I do in Photoshop is just a little bit of this and a little bit of that without knowing much what I am doing :)

It's hard to be in two places at once, especially when the light is changing fast. Looks like you picked up some nice color with photoshop though.

Thanks John :) The sun does not wait for anyone so next time I have to know what I want, and to be prepared when the time comes :) The reason why I was so late is because I missed the intersection to the lighthouse so I ended up in White Cliff Park, which is a nice park also.

That's a great view and you did a wondeful color work on it. This one is definitively better than the original one, in my humble opinion ;o)

Uploading the two different versions is an interesting idea.

Thank you very much Christophe for your nice comment :) I always feel that I am cheating if I change my photos as much as I did here so I just wanted people to know what I did :)

Flott mynd og ótrúlega mikill munur fyrir og eftir. Samt hefði ég ekki tekið eftir því að myndin væri eitthvað breytt ef þú hefðir ekki haft hina til viðmiðunar :o)

Gunnsteinn Jonsson pro replies:
Takk Oddur :) Ég reyndi að hafa þetta ekki of ýkt. Þetta var eina af myndunum sem ég ætlaði að henda en svo prufaði ég að gera eitthvað fyrir hana og þá varð hún bara nokkuð góð. Ég lýsti klettana eitthvað meira á einni myndinni og mér fannst það nokkuð flott en það virkaði ekki mjög eðlilegt og því breytti ég því aftur.

Flott mynd hjá þér... og mér finnst það alls ekki svindl að laga myndirnar, myndavélin grípur hlutina mjög oft ekki eins og við sjáum þá og ég reyni yfirleitt að gera myndina sem næst þeirri upplifun sem ég varð fyrir :o)

Gunnsteinn Jonsson pro replies:
Takk Begga :) Ég er sammála því að við náum yfirleitt ekki að fanga alla liti sem við sjáum þegar við erum að taka myndir og þá er um að gera að reyna að gera myndina eins og hún var þegar við tókum hana. Skuggar verða of dökkir og sumir litir brenna alveg yfir. Þessi mynd er ekki langt frá því sem ég sá, en sterkustu litirnir eru samt aðeins sterkari en þeir voru. Ég tók fallega sólarlagsmynd hinumegin við vitann einhverjum mínútum áður en þar átti ég ekkert við litina. Ég pósta þeirri mynd hérna á eftir.

Ég renni flestöllum myndunum mínum í gegnum Photoshop áður en ég set þær hérna inn. Ég skerpi allar myndir eitthvað og svo fikta í stundum í shadows og highlites. Undanfarið hef ég bætt svolitlu við litina með því að bæta aðeins við saturation.

Simply excellent... It's a beautiful scenery, the angle is perfect and there is some detail in the foreground still.
