Rainbow and rain

[P Plates]

No impressive sunrises as too much low cloud and fog every morning but still a great view to enjoy.

How nice!
Top shot and a stunning place to sit and soak it in to boot!

I love the closer heavy rain breaking the rainbow in the distance as it makes it real and gives the capture a lot of depth perspective to me.

It makes me want to pour a black coffee and add a dash of bourbon with honey and sit right back.

Absolutely agree with Eden. And you are giving me some good ideas .........

Wot he said - sounds good to me

The coffee and bourbon would encourage me to add even more drama to the sky, (but I may regret it in the morning - heard that before)

[P Plates]

Thanks Eden, Charles and Alan. I do think the sky is a little washed out looking so have added a grad filter in PP which I think looks better

[loose cannon]

Have you got the Nik software Gabby?

I gave the image a hit with the detail extractor filter. Didn't bother with any fine tuning as it's hard to work on a jpeg so it looks slightly overcooked in some areas but it can be an excellent tool if used discretely. .Just a thought.

[loose cannon]

Hmmm...I must say my edit has lost a lot of impact at upload. Side by side view of both images on my monitor gives a different view entirely.

Oh well, still worth looking at the detail extractor for this kind of image Gabby.

Lovely relaxing scene Gabby. I wouldn't do any more than just a wee crop off the bottom.

Beaut shot nice colours But please tell me what is this stuff called RAIN

[P Plates]

Thanks Mick. I do have the Nik software - will give the detail extractor a go. I often find uploading here changes the appearance of my images a little.
Thanks Greg - we stayed at a place overlooking the valley and loved the view.
Thanks Bill - we had lots of cloud but most of the rain stayed down in the valley.

[Eden]

I know it is a bit after the fact, but

I love this shot the more I see it,

I only use the windows software at the moment but would wind the contrast down a lil and the saturation up a tad,

you want the rainbow to be the proverbial dogs-b_lls in this shot

here is my average pp of the jpeg off the screen just to show where I was thinking but only as an example of where I was thinking,

I hope you are Ok with me playing!


tell me off! by MrStinkybait, on Flickr

cheers Eden

[P Plates]

No I never mind people playing with my images - they often think of things I don't. I do like the extra saturation in the sky in your edit but I'm finding the greens in the valley a little too lime for me.

What a beau shot, shows off the Majesty of nature, Well done !

Dear PPlates

Someone has accused of plagiarizing the above edit and using it as my own on flickr,

I posted my edit to flickr then used the BB share option to link it to this thread above,

It has been up for 24 hrs and I usually leave it there for 48hrs before removing it as the image instantly disappears from this thread.

I have used flikr this way for 2 years and always remove others images after 48 hrs if they are not mine!

this is the conversation for your info and I offer it to you so that you see I am genuine.

I would never claim anothers capture as my own and you can see my acknowledgement to Doug for his B+W edit of my capture of the Largs Jetty in my flickr page


I will happily remove the edit from your thread PPlates right now if you wish or after the 48 hrs that I normally do ( phone reminder works every time).

Cheers Eden
