Got to this location half an hour too late! Grr..

w33 brl · Nov 21, 2013

That's unlucky I bet that would look stunning with sunset or rise

Šįk · Nov 21, 2013

I was certainly frustrated. I still quite like it though, but definatley has potential. I'm gona head there again tomorrow (weather permiting) and try again.

Nothing special, but was called upon at 9pm for a emergency shoot for the local rag...

Failed to mention my name though!

One from Swallow falls the other day.

Really like that, plenty of water going down there as well!

Ay Ay Ron · Nov 23, 2013

Cheers Ben!
Yeah there was a lot of water! Plenty of rainfall this last week. Hopefully next week I'll get to one that I tried earlier in the year but was blocked by a flooded road!

Ventured into the lakes again today.

Cheers mate.
One of the (only) perks if my job I think!

It's also made explore today too

How much PP do the majority of you do? I do none at all - I think I need to start as some of these shots are outrageously good!

I do none, i'm generally useless with a camera lol. And that shot above was taken on a phone.

Very little tweaking in Aperture. Not a lot really..

I have no idea what I'm doing with PS or Lightroom so get it near enough right on cam

Ay Ay Ron · Nov 29, 2013

I mainly crop images and sometimes pull some more colour out.
Not a massive amount though.

Niall · Nov 29, 2013

I do adjustments in Lightroom, and if something needs cloning out I use Photoshop. In Lightroom I adjust exposure, contrast, clarity, colour such as temp/saturation, sharpness and a crop. So all pretty light adjustments to boost the original photo, rather than completely alter it

Scrooge · Nov 29, 2013

I'm new to PP so only do little things, white balance (I have a 400d so it always seems to get it wrong), clarity and a bit of vignetting.

Brazo · Nov 29, 2013

I do what's needed!

i think we can all tell a digital mess from a shot that's been enhanced by pp but I'm not bothered if I have to spend hours in Photoshop as long as it emerges looking like a photo and not digital 'art' (cringes

)

You hit the nail on the head here. Far too much of the automotive stuff on 500px looks like a graphic from a game rather than a photo :S

Ay Ay Ron · Nov 29, 2013

Went out yesterday round snowdonia. Some good skies and then it pissed down.
Taken on my phone, still to look at what I've got on my camera.

Sure is. Will be going back next week.
Want to go to Llanberis too as we missed out due to the weather. Plenty of things around there to shoot.

planetx · Nov 29, 2013

I do lots of PP, it's no different to what I did in a darkroom.

Yeah I’ve wanted to return to Cym Idwal for a while, I went on a school geography trip and thought it’d be a great place for landscape photos.

Yeah if there's not wind the reflections can be incredible. There was some snow on the tops last week but it's gone now. Hopefully it will be back soon and/or a frozen lake.
So much around that area though.
