Mount Rainier Collection

[Jon]

Visited the in-laws yesterday and shot a few more pictures of Mount Rainier.

Mount Rainier - as seen from across the street from my in-law's house:

I love how the moutain is floating there...way to PS that! :D I've been there...in the REAL world, behind those trees is a burned down brothel, and Oil refinery, and 4 Starbucks' Shops.

:D


Nice work, J!

I live here too - and there's NO WAY the skies are THAT blue around here..

PS all the way.. :)

No shoots tho... but would like to see the untouched ones...

I was joking, dude. The sky IS that blue when one filters-out all the haze. No Photoshop needed :)

My guess is a blue filter. The road looks a little blue and the further away from the lense the more objects pick up the tint, therefore the effect of making the mountain without snow blue as well.

I'm just saying..... that it seems a lot of pictures I see greatly exaggerate the colors....

Why can't there be a camera which captures the true color's we'd see if we were there with our own human eye... ? :)

Circular Polarizer. :)

You must wear polarized glasses all the time. Oh? You don't? :poke:

I will say that these aren't straight from the camera, but there was nothing done to change the color. ;)

Which person's eye? As viewed under what light source? As printed using what process? As viewed over what monitor?

First, everything takes on a blue tint at a distance: http://www.wonderquest.com/baby-teeth-blue-mountains-flea.htm#blue-mountains

Second, if I'd used a blue filter, the snow wouldn't be white. If you're seeing blue in the snow covered areas, your monitor is out of adjustment.

What an imagination! :laugh2:

(The mountan does look disconnected from earth. Very cool).

Circular Polarizer. :) Now "your" just being difficult. :laugh2:

With some polarizers, I have seen the sky in Colorado at Rocky Mountain National Park seem almost black. At 12,000 feet, the sky is already a pretty deep blue but when you dial in that polarizer.....wow. It is easy to over do it though. It is remarkable to get the deep blues in contrast to the golden Aspen trees up there.

A polarizer is essential for anything outdoors, I really love how it takes the reflections off of water and out of the windows of cars and buildings.

You can shoot in "raw" and get just what light is hitting the sensor. But, if you have a polarizer on the lens and it's cranked to the right setting, you'll still get a bluer sky....especially if you are shooting away from the sun.

Jon is right though about everything being a factor in how color will be seen. I shot a photo in Clorado of a wheat field that had just been hit by a huge storm that was now in the distance......it was also very late in the day with the setting sun behind my back. What I saw was gold wheat and a green tinted sky. When I had the film developed, the machine printed the small prints perfectly, just as I remembered it. When I brought the neg to a lab to get a 16x20 done, the technician made the sky blue and flattened the color of the wheat. I had given him the machine print to go by but he assumed it was incorrect. Monitors are never right unless you get them calibrated and then there is the viewer's vision.

That's what I miss on the camera I have now, is the ability to use filters.

One more reason to upgrade.

Didn't you pick up an S3?

You can use filters with the S3 with the appropriate adapter. It just twists onto the front mount after you remove a ring. It's threaded for 58mm filters.

Use duct tape.
