Scottish Landscape

Hello all,

I was out a few weeks ago taking some landscape pictures in the middle of scotland and got this one which I quite like.



All comments welcome

thanks

What a wonderfull place to be at Paul..the composition is really nice...u managed to get the right dof and frame, but i honestly feel it misses the WOW feeling..the pop is exactly not there...whats the EXIF data for the above ... this could get much better with some post processing though.

thanks for the comments the exif data is as follows

aperture: F11
shutter speed: 1/50
iso: 100

It's a great image Paul and I love the wee but 'n ben

It looks like a watercolour. What PP did you use?

[wulf]

It has a very painterly feel to it, which I like. While some tweaking could make the colours much more vivid, I don't know if that would make it better.

What I do miss is a bit more space at the left side of the picture. Presumably the river curves round and I think it would be better if the flow of the water was not completely interrupted by the framing. Either that or make it a bit narrower still but at the moment, to me, it feels a bit truncated.

nathan - I can't remember the exact PP I did however it wasn't much, I think it was only toning down the colours a little to give it the painted feel. I was hoping to get a picture for the wall, but didn't want one that jumped out too much.

wulf - I agree that it would be better with more space to the left as the river does curve round and very nicely too. However with the gear I had I couldn't get wide enough to include all that I would have liked.

thanks for the comments

Did you have a tripod or reasonably firm support for your camera? If so, you could take several shots and blend them into a panorama before applying the other post processing work. If you are just trying to simulate a slightly wider lens because the scene you want is a touch too wide and you can't simply stand further back, you probably only need a couple of shots to do the job.

thanks for the info wulf, never thought of doing that at the time. I couldn't get any further back without swimming in the river, but I did have the tripod with me, just never thought of using it.
