Grizedale Stages - my efforts !

dseered · 9th of December 2007 (Sun)

Well I think my inexperience shone through with regard to settings, coupled with hands that wanted to fall off with cold and a blinding hangover !
We ventured up for the second pass and when we heard there was a long stoppage we made our break for the car and came home, cold wet and disappointed !

By all accounts everyone said how difficult the day's conditions were, most photos can be recovered in photoshop, a few tweaks in photoshop has helped

The photos ^^^^^^ are straight from the camera, I have had a mess about in PS and come up with this....

I think it is alot better, what do you guys think ?

If you were using a 100-400L yesterday you were always going to struggle. but having said that the edited versions have come up quite nicely

Anyone know how long the stoppage actually was in the afternoon, no matter really as we were very wet and cold even though we were dressed for the conditions !

Will have a play about with some more in PS and see what I come up with, all shot in jpeg aswell and the 100-400l did struggle, well it didn't I did with duff settings

No idea about the stoppage, most of us were well on the way home by then

I wouldn't blame yourself too much. Even with an f2.8 lens yesterday wasn't much fun.

Like the edited versions best. I always shoot Raw+Jpeg now, just incase I get it wrong.

Yeah I was there with the Sigma 120-300 and the 70-200 f2.8 IS and they still made the conditions difficult so you done well with the 100-400. The only stage I made was the one with the long stoppage, I waited half hour in the freezing rain before calling it quits and heading the 3 hours back up the road

Not a good day out for me as I only hit the shutter 25 times!
