22 Oct 09: The magic hour in Blackpool

I had to have another try at some magic hour photos.  I like these taken in Blackpool just as the sun was setting.  The light was changing really fast so I had to work quickly and there were so many potentially great shots that I was like a kid in a sweetie shop.  Here's a sample of what I took...

f/5.6 1/30sec some tone curve adjustment in Lightroom 2

f/8 1/30 sec some tone curve adjustment

f/8 1/30 no adjustment

f/16 1/15 some tone curve adjustment

f/5.6 1/60 sec some tome curve adjustment

f/5.6 1/60 some tone curve adjustment

f/16 1/4 sec some tone curve adjustment

f/8 1 sec no adjustment

All taken with Canon EOS 50D and EF-S 18-200 IS lens.

One issue I am finding when I come to review photos is that the colour tone looks different depending upon which screen I view them on (obviously due to different screen resolutions) and different again when I print, them. So I don't know how they are going to look when other people view them.  Must ask John about this.

    You might need to look into calibrating your monitor, still, you should ask John since its quite a confusing thing to do!

    Sarah's right - it's to do with colour calibration, there's a device you can get called a 'spyder' but speak to John / Kevin first :)

    I have spoken to Kevin and he told me how to adjust my monitor so things are looking better now.
