My first sky/backgroung collage.

[mr noble]

Kings College, Cambridge. On a dull day.



Made up of these 2 shots.






Comments please. Didn't spend too much time as the Mrs is on her way over. Took about 15 mins with a bit of help from Scott Kelby.

[mr noble]

Fixed.

[Altrezia]

That looks good

[pikey]

I don't like it. Sorry. I'm a dreadful critic and have no right as I'm not skillful in this area, but I don't like the sky - it looks cartoonish / not right / artificial.

BUT... I hope you have a great 2007

[mr noble]

I agree, was just a quick play to see how its done.

Its actually the same shot, just bacth converted twice in RSE.

I did go a little overboard on the sky saturation.

Sky over-saturated for me as you say. I'm not sure but it also looks like the sky still has some blown highlights in the cloud. It looks like this scene really would need bracketed exposures from a tripod or use of a grad filter.

Its perhaps worth saying that the spiky roofline makes using a filter less easy as it will be possible to see the grad against the spires.

Can anyone direct me to the thread that gived the instructions on how to merge the bracketed images please, I cant seem to find it now.
