| 1295732 | 2012-08-21 09:48:00 | this one is washed out as it was taken through the window of the plane but just for interest this is the view of the southern alps as we flew over canterbury. pretty stunning | globe (11482) | ||

| 1295734 | 2012-08-21 10:09:00 | If your camera supports it, try zooming into the part of the picture you want rendered correctly ie a building, hold down your exposure button (partially) zoom out and take your picture.An alternative is to pick some other part of the picture to create a compromise ie less detail in the building slightly better sky. The problem is the camera is incapable of capturing the the contrast range so something has to give. Google "high contrast photography" these are usually created using two or more images, of differing exposures, and patched together to get the best contrast for lower and higher ranges. Though there are some ($$$$) cameras out now that can achieve this. Added: your pictures are a little overexposed, and as Trev says it looks a little hazy, a polarising filter would definitely help. |

| 1295735 | 2012-08-21 11:21:00 | IMO these pictures you cannot really do much, hazy is hazy. The same when I go overseas to Japan and cannot see Mt Fuji. Daytime pictures you don't really need to take two diff exposures (shots). You can use what Adobe calls adjusting the curves give it a s shape. You pull down the left side the shadows, and up the right side highlights and for the midtones maybe drop that. The POL filter is the most I would do or come back at another time .. that's what nature photographers do. You cannot control the weather. Figuring where / how to meter might not be that easy for some :D Just check the LCD and darken or brighten it by changing your settings, but if you were to make exposure corrections in software that should suffice too for casual shots. If you point it to white stuff like mountains that may not be that ideal cos v white or v blacks can fool the meter. Google "18% gray camera meter". LOL. I spend a lot of time doing that cos I shoot slide film and hope not to waste it. Edited quickly. Played with the curves and increased the blacks. 41314130 |

| 1295738 | 2012-08-22 00:15:00 | No filter nor photoshop will fix images such as those. | Metla (12) | ||
| 1295739 | 2012-08-22 00:26:00 | No filter nor photoshop will fix images such as those. Photoshop will ~30s, curves and colour correction. More time experimenting/tweaking will produce your desired effect (eg what ever represents the image in the way you wanted it to be seen) 4133 I didnt have much image detail to work with however note that you will loose certain details editing in some cases, in this one the clouds have been lost. This can be corrected but as I said, it's about what you want to preserve and the effect you want for the photos. |
