very nice,
foreground a tad dull on the lake pics maybe?
Is this on your tamron?

 

[Tigger]

Nope, Sigma 17-70mm & UV filter mate

Nice, although most seem to be bordering on the underexposed side to me.

As Im bored, here's a quick edit of one of the pics (hope you dont mind!)

Just increased exposure a tad, and I applied a grad ND filter to bring out the clouds a little.

ANd if anything, that could probably have another slight exposure increase too!

once i pay for my flickr pro or wait until the 1st January i think this could be a good thread, im sure a lot of people have been snapping over the festive period!

Great pics by the way!

 

[Tigger]

Thanks for the comments folks
And Dan the edited one looks great - can't thank you enough for the tips :cheers:

Woza - there already is a few threads with Snow/Festive pics in here & in Clio Media mate - get yours up!

Some very nice pics, but as said some were almost boardering on "dull", that edit is cracking!

 

[Tigger]

A learning curve - as said all comments are welcome when it comes to photo's

I'll get there some day, me hopes!

Nice wintry scenes.

Expanding on the comments above, I would suggest looking at the histogram for the photos you've taken every now and again...although I try not to 'chimp' too much, the histogram display when reviewing photos on the camera can give you a good idea how well exposed the photo is. The aim is to have a reasonably balanced...check out this link for a much fuller explanation - http://www.luminous-landscape.com/tutorials/understanding-series/understanding-histograms.shtml.

Also another thing to bear in mind, in the scene is generally quite bright i.e. like snow, this can tend to full the camera light meter into underexposing the shot. Typically, as a rule of thumb you may need to increase the exposure (versus the camera light meter) by about 1 stop..... i.e. instead of f4.5 1/100, you may need f.45 1/50, to get a good exposure.

Cheers

Lovely... I went out with mine, could get anything to the scale of these. Mind you, in only on a bridge.

 

[Tigger]

Thanks for that Paul

I have enough trouble debating with myself over what aperture/shutter speed to use for each scene lol
