vulkan75 · 20-05-2007, 9:47 AM

As You know Ive been stuck around the house of late so last night was a welcomed 2 hrs away.Conditions were perfect,high tide,strong wind,cloudy sky and fading light/I thought Id give my new tobacco filter a workout..

The camera was left on jpg after a point and shot session

so sorry about the compression.

all clickable as usual

hope yo like em

Wow, an incredible set mate, absolutely fantastic

lightpainter · 20-05-2007, 10:15 AM

Fantastic shots, how much post production processing was involved?

vulkan75 · 20-05-2007, 10:20 AM

Hardly any really,a bit of dodge and burn on some of the rocks and some unsharp mask.

Oh and the backround obviously.

Thanks

Liquid101 · 20-05-2007, 11:07 AM

mmmm rocks and water mmmmm

Really nice stuff, Vulkan. 'Shepherds Delight' is my favourate.

The heavy filtration isn't for me, but it's worked well, and has a very dramatic impact on the images.

Top stuff

Edit: Just looked on your flickr - Moody Blue is also very nice

vulkan75 · 20-05-2007, 11:18 AM

Thanks mate that means alot coming from the rocks & water master

Agree about the filtration.I think I bought the wrong filters I have the dark heavy versions.I think ill have to invest in the lighter ones.

Great set - cracking results.

Minor point is that i'd possibly prefer a narrower border to really make the pics jump out at you but only personal preference

stevegreen · 20-05-2007, 11:27 AM

I think 'Contemplation' is my favorite, don't know why though. All really nice pictures though, really nice.

Tobers · 20-05-2007, 12:36 PM

Nice shots to put up on the wall there! I've got a toboacco filter and a blue one - I'll have to get out and give them a try. Thanks for the inspiration!

**senu** · 20-05-2007, 12:43 PM

So soon after those animated cutlery shots.. you are back in top form

The images are fascinating one and all

While I liked the border for the cutlery set I would have preferred a little more image and a little less border with these ones

Well done

CyBeRkId2002 · 20-05-2007, 1:09 PM

have to mirror what others have said, an absolutely fantastic set of images, every single one of thems a cracker.

bodoman · 20-05-2007, 1:16 PM

Seems like them couple of days in the sanitorium done you a power of good Vulkan.
Excellent photographs all

vulkan75 · 20-05-2007, 1:17 PM

I love your comments Bod

geofftelforduk · 20-05-2007, 3:52 PM

Crackin set of shots! Think "Comtemplation" does it for me!

Well done!!

scoobysti · 20-05-2007, 5:38 PM

beautiful ,works of art, not just piccies

bowenjones · 20-05-2007, 6:33 PM

Great shots Alex, absolutely superb

I love the tones you've created with your filters. They work extremely well in this situation with "The Still" being my pick of a fantastic crop of photos. Well done again mate

jont · 20-05-2007, 6:59 PM

Great set of shots ... all colours were punchy enough to hold their own with the dark grad filters ... if you get the lighter set you may need to think about how the overall exposure will work ...

Gadget Daddy · 20-05-2007, 7:45 PM

a couple of people on this forum set the bar very very high and you are one of them...well done fantastic set of work

SweetGirl · 20-05-2007, 7:51 PM

WOW WOW WOW WOW...These are lovely. Very hard to choose my favorite. They are all very very good.

Really like the choice of boarders u have used.

Nice to see you manage to get away from the 'forks'

vulkan75 · 20-05-2007, 7:57 PM

Thanks Guys...Really Nice compliments

Holowlegs · 20-05-2007, 8:05 PM

Hi ya

Cheers Holo

horribleman · 20-05-2007, 8:14 PM

My favourite is 'Contemplation'

all superb though.

What exactly is a tobacco filter though??

Its a yellow/orange graduated filter that I used to give the sky a bit of colour and punch.

grantsteve · 20-05-2007, 9:20 PM

Fantastic stuff Vulkan. They're all crackers but if I had to pick one it'd be Shepherds Delight - really like the composition as well as the great colours.

Well done

Ultima · 21-05-2007, 6:27 AM

Vulkan, fantastic photos mate. I actually like the filter effects that you have managed to achieve, would you have been able to produce the same effect in post processing??

Great stuff.

Martin

vulkan75 · 21-05-2007, 6:45 AM

Thanks mate.

Yeah probably but theres always the chance of introducing noise to the image.Also The filters stop the exposure down a bit so you can afford longer shutter speeds,which streak the clouds quite nicley.

thanks

Ahh, I see. Need to get myself some ND filters to see if I can get anywhere near the quality of your pics. Love the smooth water. Great stuff.
