I like the 3rd version of the seascape with the church spires.
And I love the 4th photo (with the blue/yellow sky).
Awesome for a day just puttering around. I'd have to hide under a rock if you got serious.... :thumbup:

I use DPP, (Digital Photo Pro or something like that) and I mess around with the curves RVB, R&B mostly , saturation, nuance (don't know the word in english), lighting and can blow the colour spectrum to pieces LOL

I like your pictures--as well as the special effects. I do have a question though; the lake looks tilted down to the right. Also it appears to rise up in the background. Are my eyes playing tricks on me or?

Roadrunner,
I just gotta tell you that every time there is a new post and this topic hits my email, I have to chuckle. In my "real" job, I deal with addicts and their effects on a daily basis.
"Tweaking" refers to crystal methamphetamine users when they have been using non-stop and havent slept for several days to a week or more. The paranoia and impulsive behavior and "jittery" volatile behavior is called "tweaking".
Totally unrelated to photography but it shows that one field's jargon can overlap into another in wierd ways.
Rocco

Hey Rocco... :lol: My daily language is French, never speak English, but use it on the net and I actually thought that ''tweaking'' was sort of a fine tuning...as for drugs, sorry, I'm 73 LOL.

In Post Processing, the term "tweaking" is the accepted vernacular for adjusting only exposure, contrast, saturation, sharpness, and cropping. These functions can usually be accomplished with the simplest of PP programs. Anything more (HDR, cloning, etc.) is usually considered PP manipulation, and require more sophisticated programs. That descriptive term is usually "PhotoShopped".

llindstrand,
This effect is due to the layout of the lake which is about nine miles long, but the head of the lake that you see is maybe two miles away and on the sides of the lake there are points, small ones which encroach a bit giving the roundish sort of view.

10-15 pound walleyes are caught there. I hooked a 31 incher.

You leave the paved roads and drive for nearly a hundred miles on dirt roads and at the end where the camp is, cars cannot make it any further than a quarter a mile away.

Thanks for the explanation. It just really looked odd to me. Your pictures on the last pictures are very good also. I enjoy your work!
