RE: Some sunrise shots from around and about taken last year

Thanks for your visit and feedback, looking at number 7 I wonder now did I overdo the saturation, often with sunrises I tone it down a bit if its a real colorful one, but perhaps I didnt with that one

Your so right the time just before a sunrise, sometimes 15 Minutes sometimes even longer and after a sunset, can be the most special times with Mother nature putting on the best display then, thats why if headign out for a sunrise I like to get to the spot at least 30 Minutes before sunrise.

and it does amuse me a little seeign people arriving just on sunrise time, or leaving at sunset as soon as the sun drops below the horizon knowing sometimes the best is yet to come

Sort:  

That is so true! Especially I see that in the tropical regions where people pay good money to see sunsets and run before the show even begins. I always tell them to stay 15 minutes more and they will get a real show. Once in a while, not, but, for the most part, yes!

I don't think it is oversaturated, I think it is perfect and the colors really popped for me. I frequently tone the saturation down also, especially on flowers. Remember the tulips? It is hard to use their true colors because the eyes are screaming oversaturated! :))

It's a game we play with them.

The pictures are gorgeous! I feel so far from water today!

I think it comes down to both personal preference and mood at the time when it comes to working out whether to boost or tone down the saturation on images. I generally try to bring it down a little as I know on my monitors it gives a good color match to what I see but have seen on others computers at work and at family and often find what I see on those shows as more saturated than what I see on my computer
