Sussex Sunset (2)
Posted by Vinman (Essex, United Kingdom) on 28 September 2008 in Landscape & Rural.
It's been a week since my last post as I've been away from home. The last post of a sunset was made from the place I was staying but the internet connectivity there was so poor that I gave up trying to upload any more.
Plus I wasn't able to check how the picture would look as it was pretty much straight from the camera. I usually shoot in RAW and, on a Canon, these look pretty lacklustre without some tweaks in Lightroom. I checked it after uploading but the colours didn't match how I remembered the scene.
This one has been tweaked slightly - changed the calibration setting to match the profile set on the camera (Faithful) and boosted the contrast and saturation. The calibration setting had the biggest effect, bringing back the fiery colours I remembered.
If anyone's interested, the camera calibration profiles are a free download from Adobe Labs for Lightroom 2 and Camera Raw 4.
