Well, it is monsoon, go try. The second pic is just a Manipal road.

I still like the PP'ed effort by Rippergeo which is the 2nd image in the listed PPed series

Tried a few potraits recently (not much time in hand to shoot other subjects). Very minimal processing. Any comments to better them?

here's one from my 1st camera. A kodak point and shoot (DX6490)

taken somewhere near Giant's causeway- Northern Ireland. the coastal road in that area, I forget the name, was amazing.

was kinda experimenting with saturation..actually the colors were pretty dull in tha actual pic..

Ripper?? how do you expect the color balance to be??

@jomz
the warm tones are too prominent in the pic.
reds and yellows predominate.
the trees and the leaves look ok, but the ground and the sky look unnatural.
what software did you use?

Jomz · 27th June 2008, 19:09

Picasa's pretty good. I've been using it ever since it was released by google.
just started using photoshop a week ago. its a steep learning curve.

Photoshop lets you select the areas you want enhanced. which is what I love about it.

attached below is a photo i had great hopes about when I clicked it, because the scene was so beautiful. when i got back home and saw it on the monitor,

was going through my old pics and decided to work on this for fun.
I shot the pic originally in jpeg, thinking I'll never be able to PP RAW files. now I regret it big time, thinking of all the wasted opportunities.
this pic could have been so much better if I had more data to work with.

A couple of snaps which i liked..Many of you must have seen the first one.

Gautam, do some auto-leveling, it will improve multi-fold.

27th June 2008, 20:48

@corsalove- just tried my hand at the 1st pic you posted.
hope you dont mind.
its not very good, but I'm still an "L" boarder at Photoshop

EDIT- its a very nice pic. wish it was mine.
