Moonlight on the water. Which one

2 years 2 months ago #732002 by r1ch
These were taken at Sloan Lake in Denver. Which one do you like better or neither/both. If you don't like the yellow moon think of it as de-saturated

I am comfortable with neither, r1ch.

First because the horizon is not levelled.
Second has to do with the haloing of the city.
Third I don't fancy the selective colour option in this case.

Light is free… capturing it is not!

I tried to level across the top of the main building, along the shore line. I could not get it right obviously. So yep, not good, but not sure what looks best..
Halos? I see halos in your bird images. Graceful Takeoff, Ruddy Shelduck and Eye level. I don't say anything because it doesn't bother me, but if that bothers your then your bird images are disgraceful for you... you being a professional and an Adobe teacher if I read previous posts right. Almost all my images use HDR and have halos so you will not like any of my images. And I am totally ok with that.

If you see halos in these, please, please, please, Rich, be so kind to
show me where you do.

No, on the contrary, I distanced myself from that software producer
many years ago and sold everything I had from them!

Your Egret on the Lake, for one, is a critically difficult DR challenge
you succeeded very well indeed and I perceive no halo.

I am not a critic. I see sharpening halos. There is a black halo under the birds upper wing in Graceful take off.

I thought you were a professional or professional teacher and you taught.. maybe not Adobe then, another photo editing software. As I said, if I read it right. I may not have read the post correctly.

I did not use HDR on the Egret that I remember. I don't use HDR on every single image. But most, and most have halos. In the moon images, that picture is at the edge of the city of Denver. Denver is behind this buildings and if you see the cloud below the moon, I believe light pollution from the city is lighting the clouds which is causing the back lit halo. I do not  remember if I used HDR or not, but again, it doesn't bother me. I can get halos from using circular polarizing filter, it doesn't bother me.
