OSRep Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 Hey guys, went to the Scottish Highlands with a few friends over the weekend (im sure alot of you missed me........ ). Anyway it gave me the chance to play with my D90 a bit. I think most of the photos came out overexposed (I used Manual mode the whole time which im happy I did). One thing I do notice however is the way the D90 picks up on colour - its fantastic! I mean most of the time it was really dull and grey but the D90 makes it look like spring/summer. Anyway heres a small glimpse of Scotland (there are about 200 pics, but im only putting up a few) The photos are taken around Glencoe / Oban.....comments, crticism welcome.

scotty Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 Being a Scot myself it's great to see pics of the homeland. I think you had a good time - hope you enjoyed our wee country... The black and whites with touch of colour are superb. How do you do that???? Ahh - I can smell the heather and whisky.....did you try haggis?

Yeah had a brilliant time Scotland is very beautiful (definitely a difference to London which is where i live). I have been to Glasgow and Edinburgh a few times but this was the first time to the highlands. A weekend isnt long enough though. There was plenty of Heather and seafood though. Unfortunately didnt get the chance to try haggis either I did have Lorne beef (flat) sausages for brekkie though..... Thanks buddy, I shot the photos in RAW then messed around with the light settings / levels and colour settings (hue's). Pretty simple....

OSRep Posted July 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 Looking really good OS! Did you shoot in RAW? Cheers Red. Well I think I started off in "normal" then switched to RAW when I realised...... Although its a pain to download them onto the computer in RAW etc etc (files are huge)......

Guest ThePhilosopher Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 Nice shots - some would be stronger with some straightening and others with some compositional changes, but overall not bad at'll. I'm not a huge fan of the selective coloring though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks man. Yes Scotland is beautiful.......a vast contrast to the busy fast paced life in London. People are so much more friendlier up there too I would love to visit Scotland one day to visit a good friend who lives, and I kid you not, 'On the bonnie bonnie banks of Loch Lomond' Ken We drove by Loch Lomond, didnt have time to stop though which was a shame. Where do you live? You should def visit Great photos! Thanks mate! Nice shots - some would be stronger with some straightening and others with some compositional changes, but overall not bad at'll.

Guest ThePhilosopher Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 (edited) Straightening the horizon in some of your images (they're on a tilt) and others would benefit from the subject not being centered in the frame. Also watch your saturation some of the greens are pushing out of gamut (at least on my monitors).

Also watch your saturation some of the greens are pushing out of gamut (at least on my monitors). Im assuming straightening can only be done when taking the photo right? Yeah I noticed the yellows and greens are quite vivid (but only realised I had left the camera in "vivid" mode with a stepped up saturation). Thanks for all the hints and tips.......

Guest ThePhilosopher Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 No, it can be done in photoshop after the fact-the lens correction tool is quite powerful (I don't know what you use for post-processing). You can crop and rotate your image so that the horizon is horizontal as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KB Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 Where do you live? You should def visit Australia....so it's not likely to be anytime soon. Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can crop and rotate your image so that the horizon is horizontal as well. I see. I only have a simple copy of Photoshop Elements which came preloaded on my laptop......... Its extremely basic. I did rotate and crop a few of the images using that method though...... Australia....so it's not likely to be anytime soon. Oh That would be a trek! But Ausralias gorgeous. Wish I had my camera when I was over...... Wow great pics! Have they been PSD HDR'd? Thanks mate! They were my first attempt at using my DSLR so im glad they came out the way they did No, no photoshopping, files from camera were RAW, I had to tone down some of the colours, brightness, cropping etc.....Dont know how to HDR either (I dont have the software to HDR properly anyway) But hey, its great you think they look HDR'd All credit to the D90!
