Staring at the sun

[krigl]

Hi, I was looking at the clouds in the sky and how dark they were with the sun behind them, and thought I'd try to recreate that look. Please let me know how I did...

I think the bottom one is the best of the two edits, gives me the impression of being really high up - and maybe of an impending storm?

Nice Krigl! That original shot is a beauty and good to work with. I think you wnet a bit overboard with the blue sky indeed... Try desaturating the sky a bit (maye a bit more than a bit ) and then putting a blue filter (maybe a cool photofilter?) over the whole image. Just thought-experiments here...

Beautiful shots each with it's own special look.  If you use PS m8 look for a freeware plugin called Luce.  Will do just what you're after!

Thanks for the tips on making sunrays guys... great pic todayshorse, most amazing sunrays I've seen  :o

A tute on doing sunrays would be awesome Sytse! And if you know how to do contrails.... :-?

Mustang, thanks for the pointer to Luce, just what I was looking for!

I've made a new thread so I can post some new images I made with Luce....

You giv'em a finger, they take the hand...  ;D

I'l do what I can mate, but I'm really busy lately and I have some other screenshot projects in the works and some I have yet to start working on. Sunray tute coming up in a few weeks (best I can do right now). Never made contrails, but could give that a try too. Will take me a bit longer though...

Don't put yourself out on my account Sytse!!  :D

Just if/when you have time. And if you don't know about contrails, no probs....

Did you see my other thread? I'd appreciate it if you could let me know how I did with Luce and sunrays if you get a mo.....
