Hi all, well following on from my last batch of long exposures, which, frankly, were rubbish, i've got my Olympus dslr on a tripod this time, and this is what I got.....

Hopefully, these are significantly better. They're straight out the camera, so I may see if a bit of PP may improve them a bit too.
 
looks good but you need to get to an unlit stretch of road for the best effect , the colour balance on yours needs adjusting due to the effect of ( i suspect sodium ) the overhead lights :smashin:
 
Yeah, unfortunately i'm not sure where there's a good bit of unlit road with a bridge near me, so i'm stuffed on that front until I find one. However, i'm pleased with the results, especially compared to my last batch.
 
I like em the way they are, except i would have levelled the tripod or levelled them in PP and took a white card to adjust the WB manually.

Mark.
 
I'm just about to have a stab at a bit of PP....bear with me....
 
bloody cheek!!! ha ha....
 
Ha ha, ok......sorry boss!!! :devil:
 
I've tried a bit of PP, but I can't seem to do a lot with it?....any suggestions guys??

Quick tweak of WB and Contrast - little exposure drop and colour saturation tweaked on Red... LR3

That's better mate. Not only do I need to get to grips with my camera, i need to get to grips with the PP'ing!!

Try the demo version - 30 days - Lightroom 3 - you'll like it :thumbsup:

Yeah, i think i will mate. Are there any vaguely decent free ones? Is Picasa worth a look do you think?

Picassa is definitely worth a look - gets some good recommendations but I've never been very comfortable with it :blush:

LR3 is actually pretty cheap (especially for what it does) if bought through the Adobe Educational Discount scheme if you have a family member at school/college etc...

Also check out "The Gimp" and "Paint.Net" both free

Very nice mate...i reckon this is the best version so far!!
