Are people allowed to swim in that pool? Or is it only for show?
the moment? which moment?
pretty pics.
That's really cool looking!Ahh, cool. I was having trouble with imgur, too, nothing was working!
For the record - the [img] tag takes a width=<# of pixels> parameter.
iago, maybe because it's been scaled down in size from such a high resolution... but the photo's colors and just overall look almost looks like it's fake, like it's a computer generated/ animated scene from a video game... probably has to do with the way the lighting from the weather. I concur, it's a really cool, surreal looking photo.That's intentional - it's high saturation and high contrast. I like the fake video game look. :)
Awesome! Thanks for sharing.That's a Canon 7d with a 15-85 lens. I get the colours by shooting in Raw format then turning up the saturation. The bird and the bridge have minimal post-processing (just saturation + contrast + cropping), but the incinerator has more (the sky is separate, I shifted the colours towards red, and I forget what else).
What camera are you using for these? Are the lovely colors a setting on the camera, or is it a post-processing step that makes them look like that?
No offense to your post processing but I like the originals a lot more. I've never been a fan of oversaturated colors.I had a feeling somebody would say that. :)
I like the modified pictures quite a bit more than the originals.Thanks!
hah! I forgot iago has file uploading enabled.They'd look better with higher saturation, especially the last one (http://i.imgur.com/MzNCs.jpg). ;)
All these were taken on Little Corn Island in Nicaragua. While there, I stayed at the Little Corn Beach & Bungalow. The parrot (pic 1) lives there. They let it out when it's daylight, otherwise he's caged.
Pic 2: The houses are elevated (it's an island, this makes sense) and surrounded by plants.
Pic 3: Walked down the beach a ways and took that picture overlooking the entire shoreline.
the pics were taken on what is now probably a 10 year old P&S so they're pretty crummy, but eh.
hey'd look better with higher saturation, especially the last one (http://i.imgur.com/MzNCs.jpg). ;)
"Fake" is, at least for me, not a very good reason to dislike a photo. :)It's the juxtaposition of a realistic canvas with a high contrast color palette. To take it to the extreme to illustrate my point, if iago had also manipulated it so that G--->Pink and B--->Red, would you still find it a good photo? I think there's a level of post processing that's "just right" and if you are friends with me on FB, my profile pic was enhanced just a little, but it would be very hard to tell.
What does the original version of that photo look like
