I love winter, it’s cold and when the sky is clear it’s very crisp on the horizon line. So with that in mind I headed to Box Head yesterday afternoon, a little bush bashing to get to this lookout and then wait. It didn’t look much to look at so I turned the D3 to Vivid colour, thought I might get something out of it. I don’t normally use this colour balance as I find the vivid saturation a little to plastic, but on this occasion I think I was justified. I used a natural density gradual 0.9 filter for both shot’s, processing was done in Capture NX2 again no photoshop work whatsoever. I often read of photographers using 2-3 images spliced together to get one properly exposed image, when with a little experience and understanding of light and how it works can save you a lot of time and, in the end deliver a far superior final result.
