 nice shot & nice tone
-- --------------------------- "Gravitation is not responsible for people falling in love "  re-shoot that.
get a '  od, set up a really really long exposure at 100ISO or lower.try it at like 30 seconds f/whatever, then like 15 seconds, 10 seconds, 5 seconds, etc. test around and you'll get the best brightness/darkness contrast.oh and change to B&W (gets rid of orange) -- When deciding whether to buy a Nikon or a Canon there really is only one difference: a clockwise or counter-clockwise zoom. Choose wisely. *The-Yard-Collective tomwalshphoto.wordpress.com  I rather like the warm tones.
Going against my usual paradigm, I advise against going b&w. It would change the whole feel of the photograph (but of course, by all means experiment with levels & curves in b&w) When you are shooting at night, try experimenting with f-stops and low shutter speed combinations in order to get rid of the noise (graininess).  -- Man, you ain't lived / till you've had your tires rotated / by a redheaded woman. -Bruce Springsteen  wow. really awesome! the colors are really vivid! the only problem is, it's a little grainy.
what shutter speed were you set at? -- For my part I know nothing with any certainty, but the sight of the stars makes me dream. -Vincent van Gogh It was a pretty low one. I used a tripod, bracketed and then HDR edited. Not sure of the exact number, though.
-- "Some say that the age of chivalry is past, that the spirit of romance is dead. The age of chivalry is never past, so long as there is a wrong left unredressed on earth" The noise is something I could have tried to reduce a bit, but you're right, the red provided a color tone that really changed the tone of the picture, so I'm happy with that. But yes, I'll try experimenting more next time I have the chance.
-- "Some say that the age of chivalry is past, that the spirit of romance is dead. The age of chivalry is never past, so long as there is a wrong left unredressed on earth" I can't quite reshoot since the leaves aren't on the ground any more, but I can retry the location if I find the chance.
However, the orange is what makes the picture stand out in my opinion, and basically emphasizes the fall atmosphere. But I'll do my best to try some different setting when recreating it. Since I'm reshooting in winter though, B&W would probably be the better choice. -- "Some say that the age of chivalry is past, that the spirit of romance is dead. The age of chivalry is never past, so long as there is a wrong left unredressed on earth"  Yeah Tommy's full of it, color is the way to go. The best "fix" would have been to do a depth-of-field to block out the trees in the background, one of which looks like it's on fire. But otherwise I really like the high-contrast orange-and-black.
-- The only Emperor is the Emperor of Ice-Cream.  I really like this one, the color looks fantastic. I like the low viewpoint, very nice.

 reports, 1d 22h agoDaily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you  the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community. |
