Re: First experiment with Canon G 10.

From the title, I suspect some "processing" has been applied.

The image has a "Toned" look, which I like as it adds to the atmosphere of the image.

Is this straight out of the camera, if so what settings were used to produce the effect

I have removed blu and cyan color,darkning the image,enhanced red and yellow colers using dodge tool and charpening the picture.In pictures like this i almost always remove blu and cyan colors and most times magenta too.I almost newer toned a colorpicture.

It's beautiful, I love it! It's 'moody' and I love the abstract-type shapes made by the wood and reflections.

Peder,

That's an interesting way of doing it. I'll have to try that.

Thanks

Peder - as usual - you are producing excellent and thoughtful results (the camera doesn't seem to matter!)

Re: First experiment with Canon G 10.

My own opinion about the first image is that there are too many conflicting lines within the picture, it gives me a rather uneasy feeling and my eye finds difficulty in being led anywhere within the shot. For me the picture is too dark, though I understand what you have been trying to do. the processing is interesting and certainly has done a good job.

With the last shot, I think you have 'broken' the G10 file and such extreme magnification in getting such a crop, not to mention the processing has added noise and artefacts to what would have been a much better scene had it been cropped in camera when you were there. The idea was good and for me the composition better than the first shot, but the file can't handle such extreme cropping and processing in my opinion
