About On the cliffs in Palos Verdes we found this view this morning. A photographer's delight in the dramatic, overcast skies. One minute NO visibility . . . the next sunshine. Here is a view from the summit of the sky . . . with a glimpse of the Pacific Ocean . . . Fish-eye, distortion corrected . . . GORGEOUS color desaturated . . . converted from 16 bit depth, sepia tinted.

I have others and will correct a color shot in time . . . but what an afternoon!

maybe the sun faded colour print look would have also worked here and also been in keeping with the dating of the houses?
Such a wonderful glob of raincloud Doyle!

Thanks Dave, my brother . . . Hard for a photog not to spot this sky . . . but your sharp eye picked up on the Teeeeeasing leeeeetle hint of blue, huh? I wanted it to go almost subconsciously but should have known your eagle eye would scope it out!! Any more obvious would have been (IMO) way too distracting . . . any less, why bother? You know . . . the balancing act! LoL!

Thanks for the comment!

Excellent landscape, bro. Such a dramatic sky, I can see why you focused in on this scene. I do like the sepia, makes it look all the more dramatic.

Even though you desaturated, it sure looks like a little bit of faded blue is still present on the water, which adds a lot of depth to the photo!

Best wishes,
Dave

Now you see Tim? Comments like that make me think you are pretty cool no matter WHAT everyone else says!! LoL!

The fisheye makes for great cityscapes and landscapes since it is SO wide angle. Distortion correction usually follows and is necesary . . . but sometimes I prefer the distortion.

Doyle I <~~~~~

Your stuff is well worth the time to me. although i am mainly interested in landscapes for the most part. I like the use of the Fish-eye. I had never really considered using one much in Landscape until seeing what yours were like. Very inspiring

Thanks Paul . . . very much! You're right . . . there was no posted color version. I intentionally shot this for tones and always intended it to be B&W. Appreciate the comment very much!

A quick flick through your thumbnails and I do not see the colour version. However this does not bother me. This has more than enough mood and atmosphere in the mono. Excellent work.

Wesley:

Thanks for the comment and critique. Hilltop perspective (in correcting the hilltop) was, indeed, very difficult. Side effect from the fisheye. I completely agree . . . but haven't the skill yet to do more. Still . . . I could NOT resist the sky.

The beveled frame was just something different. Not sure I care for it either. Thanks for the feedback!

Wow. There's not much more I can say. This is a great shot. It looks like you reach in there and swirled the clouds around. Very well done!

Wesley Vingerhoets Wesley Vingerhoets   {K:198} 2/20/2007
Marvelous shot, I like the soft tones and great contrast between static subject and dynamic sky. Imo the perspective on the hilltop needs some more work, and the frame doesn't really fit this piece of art.

Stunning awesome incredible- this is just so beautiful and so much like an old horrormovie from the 50“ies- I can“t take my eyes off that sky loaded with intensity.

Brilliant Doyle... The sky has... exploded, literally...:)

A gentle softness through the fine grasses in the foreground... a breeze... and absolutely the sepia... :)

Excellent Doyle... Sir...:)

I'm jealous! I was going to take a drive along the coast myself, but figured the weather wasn't that great for picture taking. Was I wrong!

Love the sky and the sephia tones is perfect.

We're so fortunate to live along one of the most beautiful coastlines.
