Course Final

For this post I used a Kodak C180 and a Nikon D70, assume the pictures without indication were shot with the Kodak.


Sunset/Dead Trees Yellowstone National Park

ISO: 80                 I boosted the color saturation, had lightroom use "Auto" settings to adjust

5.7 mm                 things first. Luminance smoothed things out. There's some discoloration/

f / 4/6                     speckling in the clouds on the left, not sure how to fix that. Perhaps a

1/125 sec               longer exposure, tripod and proportionally adjusted aperture would help if

                                                                 I take this photo again.



Firehole Falls in Yellowstone National Park (black and white)

ISO: 80 I cropped this from the original picture to get rid of distracting branches

13.7 mm that were cluttering the edges. Brightened the water a bit. I kind of wish I had

f/ 4.6 had a better camera that I could have taken a better shot with, perhaps a tripod,

1/125 sec longer exposure to experiment with the 'silky smooth' water effect.

Cropped this from he original to narrow the focus. Played with different flter effects to clarify and 'blue' up the sky. I saturated the purples and blues in the flowers to bring them out and saturated the greens and golds/oranges in the grass a bit.

Sheepeater Cliffs Yellowstone National Park



ISO 99 Used Lightroom to boost clarity, contrast, brought out the hightlights and

17.1 mm shadows of the rocks. I also saturated the greens, aquas, yellows and oranges

Saturated the reds and purples, used the brush feature to bring the flowers' color out more. Experimented with luminance and color noise reduction.

Not the best photo ever taken, but I really like it. I converted it to black and white to reduce the noise/grainy appearance. Cropped out some power lines. I was in a moving vehicle when I took this, so the trees were a bit blurry - using luminance on them really helped.

ISO: 500 An HDR camera would have been useful here.
