Sam Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 I like the first one, Haydn, good job. I think the second one looks unexposed - when doing panoramas, take more pictures - it just looks like a single shot at the moment. Panorama's are to showcase what you can't in one shot. For a stitching program, I'd suggest Microsoft ICE or Autopano Pro. 3rd shot seems to be out of focus - nice colors, just need to use a tripod for night shots ;) 2257AD.TUMBLR.COM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 It's hard to know when the focus is correct when it's dark, because you can't se anything - I had that problem doing the long exposure water photography. 2257AD.TUMBLR.COM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I was hoping it was just focus to infinity... Also, both the first and third look like they have been raped by .JPEG? I am using Lightroom and save it as 100% JPEG. Why is the quality so shocking? My relaxation method involves a bottle of lotion, beautiful women, and partial nudity. Yes I get massages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 .JPG will degrade in your hard drive over time. Every time you load and save the image it degrades from the quality (if you've had them in your HDD a while - the longer they've been around the worse the quality gets). Not to mention they're only 8-bit images too, so full color can't be represented. 2257AD.TUMBLR.COM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention they're only 8-bit images too, so full color can't be represented. That doesn['t explain the rapid loss of quality, over a time of 2 days. I've had .jpegs on my HDD for 2 years, and they still seem okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 They might seem ok - no artifacts, visible loss of quality, the first thing that starts to degrade is the color. 2257AD.TUMBLR.COM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ouchy Posted July 12, 2010 Author Share Posted July 12, 2010 I took this on the same night as I edited and uploaded them. Hmm I'll try again....

Ouchy Posted July 12, 2010 Author Share Posted July 12, 2010 What filetype are you shooting in? .ARW (My camera's RAW) I think in Lightroom I was choosing the wrong Colorspace. Anyway, I'm exporting them to photoshop now instead and saving them that way... EDIT: Does the first look like it has been less raped by .JPEG now?

Sam Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 It does seem to have more clarity, yes. 2257AD.TUMBLR.COM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsavi Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 I tried to do a little bit of manipulation on one of them, just gamma correction, an unsharp mask, hue/saturation, and curves. I decided I liked the orange and purple. The gamma is wrong here (It's darker than it should be) but I can't be bothered to correct it again.
