Here's the original sky:

I ran it through one of my B&W Filters for lightroom. Then I cooled the colors a bit with split toning. In the B&W color mix The greens and aquas are set pretty high. Reds and oranges not so much around +20 or so. Blue's are set to -100. What really got the sky like that was pulling the blue out of the color mix and re-doing the blue with the split toning to get it to a cooler tint. I have two presets that got it done. One for the B&W color mix and another for cooling of the tint. I can send you over the preset files for lightroom if you want them...

Thanks, but I don't use Lightroom (I use RawTherapee for most of my post-processing). I'll play around with it.

The Flickr HDR group is awesome.

Nice, moma. The first two are a little overcooked for my taste (HDR?) but the third is tremendous. The fourth is really cool; a sort of diorama effect (was that by design?).

Thanks ... The first three are HDR. The fourth just turned out that way. I think it's may favorite of the bunch. I think the first is my least. Jut couldn't get the color right. It's too saturated. I haven't done much HDR lately but I figured this last trip would have some worthwhile shots.

Really pissed that smashed my most versatile lens on the rocks at Nubble light house.

Oh noes! That sucks man! What lens was it? Can it be repaired?

by **scottdg** » Mon Aug 23, 2010 21:57:41

thanks. It was the kit lens, an 18-135mm. It isn't a great lens but I had expensive filters for it that are now useless if it can't be fixed. Rather inexpensive lens and I have been wanting to upgrade. Closing on a house this week though so I was hoping all my gear would last a while. As soon as I have my computer set up I will post some pics from Acadia.

A couple of Nubble lighthouse in Maine.

Now that I look at the first one again it looks like it has a bit of a blue color cast to it that I need to fix.

I like the third the best.

As you say the first seems to have a bluish cast, and I find the blues in the second to be a bit oversaturated.

Yea, I think you are right about #2. I will have to lok at it again. I think I like the wide angle of that one the best.

Sunrise from the top of Cadillac Mountain.

I like #1 best mainly because it has no people in it. But I guess thats a personal thing...

Nice capture scottdg
