Re: A roll in the hay then the graveyard shift!

The firt two look too distorted for me, I realise it's a wideangle but I don't think it has overly helped the shots. The mono version of 'Peace' works better, great conversion and I also like last hay bail shot, the cross processing look works well I think.

It is a mental lens, especially when you get stuff at the edges

Re: A roll in the hay then the graveyard shift!

I like the hay ones - a classic shot. I agree about the distortion, it's a little too much. As is the processing on the others IMHO.

Re: A roll in the hay then the graveyard shift!

Great thread. I see the Nd110 is earning it's keep

"First of the season" is my favourite, I do like the light shining through the cloudd always nice when they do that. Can't decide whether I'd like to lasoo the hay bale a bit and just bring the levels or brightness up a touch just to make it a little bit more of a focal point.

Thanks, I tried that but with all the other PP I did it was too noisey, maybe I don't use masks enough? seems I get a lot of banding aswell on a few I do and have to step back

One more

Bale break

I know it seems ripe for conversion, but I actually preper the colour shot. Since it's peace, not death, B&W looks a little too sad for me.

I'd like the hay bale brighter too. If there's too much other processing, start again and leave out some of the other processing.
