    Watching The Sun Come Up

    Okay, I finally processed the image in colour and am quite happy with it.

    This is myself watching the sun come up this morning from a place called Mumbles, Swansea.

    A good one Matt, very effective. In a different class to the other 'selfies' we see so many of these days

    Great composition and mood!

    When post-processing a scene such as this with such strong, bold lines and contrast, you really need absolutely no sharpening. So I urge you to eliminate the sharpening, which will also eliminate the halos. Doing so might eliminate the strong chromatic aberration but I doubt it, so use your post-processing software to do that.

    Thanks Mike, I didn't noticed the CA if I'm honest. But I've taken your advice

    Congratulations Matt on a great image which; had you not included yourself would for me, not tell a story. Your inclusion makes me think, that person is enjoying watching the sun come up. But... they can't be a photographer otherwise they would have their camera and tripod set up to capture the view Watching The Sun Come Up

    Re: Watching The Sun Come Up

    I saw the B&W of this and liked it, the colour version is good too, but whoa, you gotta deal with that CA.

    LR/ACR has a very good CA removal tool, just find it and switch it on (and make that as default so it isn't overlooked in future)

    Cheers, Dave

    Very nice Matt, classy selfie - the only type worth a look well thought out and executed.

    The way you are standing there i couldnt tell that u ran to take the pic ... It seems like u were deeply drowning in your imagination when some smart photographer hunted the moment....
