Hi all, is there where we put images for critiques :D Please hammer away! Image rotated due to the fact the tree was on a hill, would of liked to have the fog white like i seen it but metered the scene medium instead. Umm, thats about it :)

Thanks everyone,

One word comes to mind...moody...I like it!
Shoot in RAW because memory is cheap, but memories are priceless.

I don't understand your mentioning that you would have liked the fog to be white. Did you shoot this as a raw file? If so, your image processing software should let you increace the exposure another stop.

The shot is ok. I don't have much to say about it. Personally, I'd like to see more detail in the leaves but that may be a limitation of a jpeg on the web.

Robert, I like the mood, and how some of the leaves are sharp and others show some motion blur. It seems a bit static though with the tree in the center, but don't know if you had other options.

This is a nice peaceful image. White fog can be very bright in a photo, so I'm not sure I agree with wanting it that way.

Thanks guys,

Dan, ive been told fog is hard to get right. What i did was just metered the whole scene and underexposed 1/3rd. In reality i should have metered the fog and opened up one stop correct? Or would that have given me the same results? The scene in person and fog itself was very white, this is a touch on the grey side. Im also pretty new to the metering scene also, so i am still figuring out some of the more tricky stuff. Also, this was shot in high j-peg and adjusted in ps6. The trees leaves were being blown around just a touch also.

Thanks again,
robert..........

Nice shot Robert.

My best fog results were from spot metering the fog and opening up a stop like you said.

Looks a bit dark to me, but I know my monitor is off (still waiting for the spyder). Reminds me of Dan Creighton's trees in fog... I don't quite understand your exposure worries. With the 10D and a stationary object like this, just take your time and experiment with different exposures guided ny the histogram feature in the camera...

Tree man is back - it may be a hair dark but I do like it as is.

The 10d doesn't have spot metering. A real omission in an otherwise great camera.

Robert,

I would also like to see a little more saturation in the greens. You could easily do that in PS.

This is true, but it does have 'partial metering', which certainly for this subject would be more than enough to get exactly the same effect.
