RE: My photo of the week 30 (in reply to Escribano)
Cool photo! You have wonderful colors within the landscape in the UK.
My only criticism is the brightness of the area directly behind the swan in the middle of the picture. It somehow irritates my eyes. I prefer warmer light i guess.
I'm disapointed that Giambattista did not came in and said that this is an evocation of J. Monnet impressionism touch
you are absolutely right! and even if I made my previous mail without reading your mail ( true! I swear ! ) as punishment to myself I'll play classical tonight instead of flamenco! :-)

Seems that is what the situation provided ( with the reflected sky at that area being relatively bright ). If it disturbed you, you could edit on it. ( Who would had thought of the fantastic shaping options computing allows for visual and sonical realm. - Though somewhat aware of the potential; enough to wanting to ask my mother to buy some MS share for me in the late 70ies / damn that I didn´t dare to; I didn´t foresee the actual dimension bits and bytes would provide.) The only thing that delights me of these days is the technological progress. It goes even beyound of what sci-fi authors ever dreamed up. -
Just yesterday I sarted reading up a bit on what actually happens in digital photography. What the sensor captures is actually only shades of dark and bright. 0=black, 255 = white. And it is up to the manufacturer´s engineers to determine how the shades will be read / translated into colour. ( Which is why the different brands usually have their own colour signature.)
And it appears remarkable to me how well these engineers fulfill this task.
Naturally, you can take your raw file - .NEF (Nikon), .CRW resp. .CR2 (Canon), .MRW (Minolta) or .ORF (Olympus). and decide yourself on how to yield in colours, but to my ( not too developed eye, as I had to realise during dental years, when distinguishing teeth coulours wasn´t my greatest strength ) it appears that you might only need to when not having optimally captured the motive from start.
Again, to my personal taste, especially Canon and Panasonic seem to have figured out colouring literally brilliantly. With an appreciating eye like Escribano´s you achieve colour dynamics that one would had dreamed of with the analog options of 20 years ago. ( And anything other than kodak celluloid. My Agfa stuff certainly used to come out pale.) -
Monnet was in central America too.
