p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Djúpalónssandur


Black sand beach, Snaefellsnes, Iceland.

Not entirely happy with these and I appreciate your thoughts on comps/crops as well as processing. Your picks?

Tough shooting for me, with overcast, drizzly, foggy conditions coming and going.

Thx
Scott

Interesting how rapidly the color falls off. Almost looks like a selective color rendering.

Have you tried a composition midway between number two and number three?

I like the third compo best (with a sliver more on the right) probably because of the human presence giving a better sense of the rocks proportions.

I also like the sense of depth that the atmospheric perspective is creating in all of these.

Yeah. I'd love to see it in different conditions, but I suspect the mood is often like this.

#3 would be my favorite if the person was not in the image and if the horizon was level. As presented, I would pick #2.

#1 for me - the composition and the mood. I would be happy with this image :-). You could recover some colour in the front-facing rock wit, say, the Clearview slider (available in Nik/DxO plugins) and a mask. It works not unlike the Dehaze slider but has better colour control.

Here is my version of #3. I removed the rock walker, added a bit of contrast/dehaze especially in the foreground, added a bit of color.

Having been there, I know how hit or miss the conditions can be. Unfortunately Iceland can sometimes teach (or re-teach) the lesson that beautiful places don’t always give beautiful photos. Some scenes are best enjoyed with the human camera (eyeball).

Beautiful places need beautiful light. Light is fickle. Way, way too grudgingly fickle.
