playing with underexposures

i know it's a bit dark, but i liked the sky.

hah... just when you think it's too dark I think it's perfect...
Really awesome! I love the moody sky.

looks great, i agree with littleman that it looks fine, the flagpoles just have a dark Silhouette which adds to the mood of the pic!

 

[JonMikal]

thanks guys. glad it worked out.

Like your composition on this one. cool clouds too.

Works for me, sometimes it's the sky that makes the shot. Which I am sure you all ready know, but hey I said it anyway.

nice colours and tones there! it's a little too tightly cropped on the bottom for my liking, but it works well! :thumbup:

I'll probably not be very popular here and I'm a little embarrased to say that I think this is only the secont time I've commentated on one of your posts and both times to say what I don't like about them!:blushing:

Usually I like your shots & there are enough good replies that cover what I think.

I'm not too keen on this one though. I love the bright bit of the sky that looks very dramatic kinda like coming out of a storm but the crop/composition feels like there should be more under the flag poles? The gray, desaturated and darkened clouds seem to lack the excitement of the brighter sky and I don't know if you've added it but the vignetting seems to cramp the shot making it feel squashed in.

There are probably people far more qualified than me who have already replied and I know I mostly base my opinion on what I can see and maybe not on technical merit of which I'm still learning!:blushing: (But I have been wrong before and am still keen to learn new stuff)

thanks guys. glad it worked out.

for some of ya that is :lmao:

 

[PlasticSpanner]

I know you didn't take it for me! Just sorry I didn't like it!


I must remember to write a response to the rest of yours that I do like and impress me rather than just think "Oh yeah! Thats excellent!":thumbup:


(I always seem to pick up on what I don't like & forget to praise what I do like!:blushing: )

I like the mood to this Jon. The clouds really make this shot.
That was kinda the feeling I was trying to capture with the drama in the clouds when I shot my Golden Sky post.
NIce work Jon.

dude, im just diggin at ya. i agree with much of what you say.

i think my problem is working everything on my laptop. i get exposure/tones just where i like them and post. then later when i see it on Linda's desktop or here at work, they appear quite different. sometimes i let it go, others i change. im sure there are programs that help calibrate monitors, but im wondering if it's possible to get the same results between a desktop and laptop. either way, thanks for the critique Chris

thanks much Carl!

Thanks Jon!:thumbup:
