Great Falls Virginia Side

JonMikal · Apr 15, 2005

these falls are genuinely calm, but a few weeks ago we had so much rain they got a bit fussy. i have been playing with custom curves on the d70 and i'm sure i've overdone it here but wanted to show you what i got from the camera. i shoot manual which allows for lots of in-camera adjustments i.e., sharpness, contrast, sat, etc. i kinda like what i got but will bring it down a bit for the next batch. just sharing my experiments:

Awesome!

Is the water really muddy or PS work?

Maybe just a tad too much, but great shots.

I dont think anybody here minds at all if you share your experiments.

Love the new avatar. Is there a story behind it? Just curious.

Great sky in the first one Jon. I love it. The rocks in number two are also great. Keep experimenting.

Great fun experimenting, somehow the overadjustments seem to work in these pictures.

thanks guys. i'm glad you're not put off too much by them. i really like the latitude the d70 provides as i'm sure you're finding with the 20d.
