A shot from my recent return trip to Gunkanjima. I've started using Raw + Jpeg recently to squeeze the most out of my E-P1 files. Loved processing this one
Very cool - the abundance of sky detail makes it less important that the island is featureless. Thought I saw a ghost for a minute.. but I guess that's a water tower! :smile:
Thanks Jim. That was the look I was going for. There was some detail in the raw data that came out, but I decided to set the black point higher to get rid of it and focus on the silhouette . The water tower you are referring to is actually a Japanese shrine. It's quite distinctive on this island, standing tall.
Well done for that as well, then! Dare I suspect the waves were also 'treated' somewhat? They look a bit more contrast-y than I might expect in nature.
Yep, I really went all-out on this image, trying a number of new techniques. A lot of selective contrast and brightness adjustment to bring out the rays of light. Maybe I could post the original tonight, but it might let the post-processing secret of photography out the bag ;p. Laputa! Now that would have been stunning in this light!
That's right - the Steps to Hell. I had to dash up these to grab a quick shot on my last trip. It was harder work than I thought!
