Fall colours in Poland :) 7 pics

mentos_007 · Oct 24, 2005

I haven't posted pics for so long here, so it's high time to do it. 3 weeks ago I took my bike and rode on the photo shoot to the woods. I took my very first RAW pictures. After talks to a few RAW masters I came up with those pics. Crituiques and comments appreciated as always. OTE:

this one below is actually my wallpaper now

I took this one also in jpg, but the whole sky was blown out while the dark areas in the bushes were underexposed... this is why I began to love RAW files

Holy crap mentos these are amazing! Usually people only photograph the "happy side" of nature. Here you have some awesome shots of decomposing and dying plants.

#1 and #3 are definately my favorites, although #4 is up there as well. I would, however, like to see a little more detail in the shadows. But even without that, they are still great!

thanks Jadin! Actually I'm not very happy with 4th one because the focal point is not there where I wanted it to be. But this is a disadvantage of my MF and maybe my eye. I can play with the shadows though, it was taken in RAW so I'll see how many info was recorded there.
