Comments on: Sunset + Coast != Magic http://www.thewestring.co.uk/2008/03/17/sunset-coast-magic-87.html Lurchers, photography, and a bit more besides Mon, 24 Aug 2009 19:04:45 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Iain http://www.thewestring.co.uk/2008/03/17/sunset-coast-magic-87.html/comment-page-1#comment-53 Iain Wed, 19 Mar 2008 22:22:08 +0000 http://www.thewestring.co.uk/2008/03/17/sunset-coast-magic-87.html#comment-53 Thanks, Anthea, much appreciated :-D They have received a positive reaction from <i>most</i> people... <blockquote cite="Scott">Well the only one I personally thought was OK was the 3rd one.

I did ask for a critical opinion, which you certainly gave! :-P and I think you possibly have a point. Could they be brighter perhaps? Anthea, you are spot on with the point about AEB - I thought of that whilst writing the post. I had read about , but not tried it, before going on holiday. I think what it is is that "what I can remember" != "techinques that would help"! But with practice... I wouldn't be so grand as to call my request a "mini post-processing project" - I don't have enough readers for such a grandiose term. (Yet! Positive thinking!) But I'm certainly pleased you've volunteered :cool: I will stick the original RAW files up somewhere and drop you an email with the details. And if there is anyone else wants them :shock: you know what to do! Thanks, Anthea, much appreciated :-D They have received a positive reaction from most people…

The first one is well-composed with those rocks in the foreground and I particularly like the sun setting over the water in the second image. I'm still using my little digital point-and-shoot while saving up for a monster DSLR of my own. I've been reading fascinating things about auto bracketing exposure ... although it sounds like you did this manually. As you know, I've been experimenting with GIMP and am happy to participate in your mini post-processing project - on the understanding that I am still a learner myself! Iain,
