Hi
I didnt know where to put this if theres a better section, its really about PPing
The pier at St Annes with Matt and Darrell, a closer view of the pier, 15 mins before sunset, I did quite a lot of PP, to recover it, shot in raw.
Ive never done this before, Im posting both my finished image and the original shot, :uglystupid2:
Scared now for the feed back, did I go overboard :lol: be honest I can take it, I wont :knuppel2:
Finished shot with lots of PP ;)

I suppose it depends if you were going for naturalistic or stylised ;) It's certainly made something very striking - can't offer a crit because I would'nt have any idea how to do it differently - do like it though! :tup:
PP works well - I like the result. That is, except for the light patch in front which looks very artificial - but not really a dealbreaker! Oh, and a slight halo at the left end of the structure
Without a doubt, you've demonstrated how to turn 'a photo' into an 'image'
I very much like what you've done - doubtless we could all make a few adjustments to suit our personal taste - but i think if you're happy with it, why change anything.
Thanks for posting, as it shows how beneficial PP can be to a picture for new members and new togs...
Could someone help a poor colonial out? What does PP stand for. I have a guess but..... :-[

Post Process....(at a guess.). :)
Anyway, the pic. Yes, I quite like the effect and if it were mine I'd no doubt print it and put it on a wall.
But I suspect it would'nt stay there for too long. If I'd taken it I would have seen it as a nice high contrast B/W with about a 1/4 of the sand cropped out
to elongate the pic a bit.

And there was I thinking that PP stood for 'post production'. Anyway it doesn't really matter, it's just stuff you do after you've squeezed the shutter release, thrown the band out of the recording studio or handed your movie to the CGI boys . .
Thanks very much everyone :tup: pleased you like it :tup:
