Description It's finally getting colder here in South Africa, the trees are shedding their leaves and the first proper clouds have started rolling in....

Onrus, South Africa

Cokin Z121S
Cokin Z121M

I used a gradient mask to get rid of the magenta cast of using 2 cokin GND's. Other than that, Some levels and saturation.

Saw my husband faved this. And I was immediately drawn by just the thumbnail.

Love it. Love how it feels like... the sky is made just for the viewer. Or the photographer.

Makes me feel so small.

The opposite is starting to happen here, except the weather in Oregon is rainy as hell. I'm excited for the summer time.

So, this is what South Africa looks like right now. I wanna go there, too!

Anyways, I can already tell ya that I'm going to this. The way that you prepared this picture just simply brings out everything that is needed for the intensity of the setting. The grass is so green, the shadows are just right, and I can't even describe just how much I love the sky and the sea here. Wonderful work!

Your processing technique is great, man.

I just wish I could get my hands on some Cokins.

Have you noticed any difference in image quality/attributes at all from the 40D vs. the 400D you had before? (I use an XTi/400D)

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

hougaard In reply to hexagon-sun [2008-04-29 07:45:23 +0000 UTC]

OH YES. The difference in noise and tonal gradiation is amazing

hexagon-sun In reply to hougaard [2008-04-29 16:17:11 +0000 UTC]

:'(

I want $1000 so I can convert my XTi to handheld IR and get a 40D.

Question - so do you just hunt out places where you can get your prints displayed and sold?

hougaard In reply to hexagon-sun [2008-05-01 09:02:49 +0000 UTC]

well this is gonna sound vain, but due to the progress of landscape photography in S.A my work is much better than anything currently out there.
