I like this one but think maybe I should have used ND 8 to reduce brightness of horizon...or crop it?

? that’s smashing, you should be able to sort the sky out in post.if you don’t mine I’ll have a little play??

Porky · May 4, 2019

Have a look at both skylines. I had a very quick play so you should definitely be able to do something more with it, with more time.?

What might of helped, the use of a grad Nd filter to balance the sky out with the foreground, especially taking photos at dusk/dawn?

Weather here today, totally crap.. windy, cold with isolated showers all day. Don’t think it was any better your end dad.

All batteries charging, controller, charging, CS battery, charging, drone batts, charging. All ready for my next walking trip tomorrow. Weathers meant to improve so fingers crossed I’ll get more nice photos or just spend the whole day in the pub, meal followed by plenty of drinky poos??

Regardless of what happens I’ll have a great day with Mrs P??

same here son as you said sunny cold and very windy i hope tomorrow is better no rain though

Porky · May 4, 2019

? a good example of what the ND grads do on a very sunny day, see how both the background/foreground are both balanced out. Both are exposed how you would expect them to be.

You’ll get the sky overexposed, the foreground would be perfect or the other way round not using grad filters.

Cor when it rained, it bloody rained here but only for about 10 mins at a time??

You shouldn’t of said that[emoji23][emoji23] I need as much help as you can give..

I’ve been looking at the NAS drives for additional storage, see my link in post #2198, don’t know if they are any good but it’s a start.

This is what I’m doing at the mo, just to put you in the picture.

I have Lr cc on my iPad Pro for editing my photos, I don’t have Lr on my Mac. So the pad is only used for editing. I’m now running out of storage on the pad, even with the iCloud storage, getting very full.

My iMac has only got about a 1.5 tb hd installed so thats not going to last to long the way I’m going[emoji3]

What I would love to do is have the NAS drive on the network so I can download all my photos to it and not have them on the iPad or iMac but still be able to see them when needed. Don’t know if this can be done or not.

I hope that makes some sense, it don’t to me....[emoji6][emoji6] you don’t need to help but any guidance would much appreciated.

What I don’t want to do is buy the wrong thing and regret it later.

Cheers Thomas[emoji106][emoji106]

I have a 128gb hd on my MacBook Pro.....I need more storage lol

Wow, thanks, that is great! Makes the horizon pop! Can you post the whole pic with your changes?

Yes, I see what you mean. I have a decent set of ND 4, 8, 16 and 32 but they are not graded so they are ineffective for balancing brightness between foreground and background horizon in this type of shot. I might need to get something like this:

But, what about these color grads? I had a set for my MP1 but rarely used. Can you achieve all the same effects in Lightroom as you can with the color grads?

Chip · May 5, 2019

Wait a second, I only ordered one new SD card.....OMG its like I won the lotto over here!

?, I’ve dumped the photo now?? but I can redo it again and post.?
Also have a go at taking photos in raw mode, you can do so much more with them in post. You can could set the camera up to take raw/jpg’s so you have the best of both worlds?

Here’s a good example of what I done with one of my photos I took yesterday. Viewing it before edit, the raw file is very grainy but as soon as you put it into Lr it sorts all that out plus it also helps with the curve horizon.

Photo before edit, this is a typical “raw file” and what it looks like, crap...

And this is after edit, looks much better and as you can see you can crop it down so much without losing detail?

Sorry ?, didn’t answer your question about the colour filters, ain’t got a bloody clue? I would say it’ll highlight colours and also make them softer, but what do I know... Slim where are you again?? remember you can also do that in post.?
