You can sell them as postcards! Great photo's, beautiful light.

A great shot, and well done on getting a photo in the mag! My first thought when seeing it was Constable too :D

for those talking about the photos maybe a bit over sharpened, I have a feeling this maybe just the view on the compressed picture of the forum, as Richard said they haven't been sharpened, you can see the original upload size (and others) on the flickr page here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/rcarcar...n/photostream/ which show off the pic with no jaggy over sharpened look.

Really nice composition and lighting

Re: River Thames at Culham

Great shots, hope you don't mind me asking, but did you use a warming filter of some kind?

No. But it was a difficult one to judge on setting the white balance in LR. So that undoubtedly warmed it. But I wasn't setting out to artificially warm, if that makes sense.

Re: River Thames at Culham

There is something other worldly (that’s an encomium) about these. I assume the native 5D3 has a decent dynamic range (compared with its antecedent and say the 7D?) and this gives these pictures a very transcendental look. Nice I like 'em.

Selective PP’ing (be it sharpening or some other effect) is a useful technique, but as someone once said (or did they) ‘Not a lot of people know that’. Thanks as ever to ColinC for reminding us all.

Re: River Thames at Culham

Just make a selection of the area you want sharpened, make it into a new layer and apply your sharpening to that.

Re: River Thames at Culham

Hi Colin, I never knew you could sharpen selective elements in an image is such a facility available in PS elements or just the full fat version. where do I look
sorry about cutting into the thread.

Re: River Thames at Culham

Agree with what has already been said but i cant help feeling they are just a little too sharp, in particular the trees where they meet the sky - no big distration though

I had another look in Lightroom at what I had done on the sharpening front, and discovered that I had done nothing on that front!!! That was straight out of my 5Diii, and 24-105mm lens... Quality kit! I will obviously have to go for some "unsharpening"!
