Re: PESO - South Park

2009-04-16 Thread Rick Womer

Actually, what I wish I'd had was a polarizer.  A lot of the light is glare off 
the grass, and I think a polarizer would have tamed the highlights and darkened 
the sky nicely.

Alas, the moment was passing, and there was no time to install the step-up ring 
and filter...

Cheers,

Rick

Pretty shot. I like it as presented. The polarizer might have made it  
a bit heavy and oversaturated. Of course you can always tame that in  
post. It would have been interesting to see it both ways.

Nice work.

Rick,
Fine scene even without a polarizer.
I like the distant towers, the flowering trees, and the pair on the
big green lawn.

Beautifully framed, and that gorgeous light brings up about the
greenest lawn I've ever seen.

One of those shots I could look at and immediately identify as being
English without any prompting.

Lovely!
