Solution in Sepia

Posted by visualcounterpoint on November 12, 2009 at 9:02 AM

I took my camera on the walk I give to my dogs for the first time in many weeks.

I was trying to follow the instructions of Greg A. Kiser in the use of a polariser filter and hoped to be able to capture the photographs for the latest assignment he has given on Tips and Tricks.

I was unsuccessful in my attempts to use this filter correctly. It was very early and the sun was low.

The amount of light available made it difficult to obtain a photograph with the filter attached.

I could not possibly carry a tripod that far in order to provide the stable platform required.


I was frustrated and shot directly into the rising sun.


When I got home and looked at all the photographs I had taken . This one was the only one I felt any mutual emotion for.




This is how the photograph originally appeared and has not been altered in photoshop to sepia.

This one is not so much suited to a polarizing filter. It is rare to see much effect when shooting into the sun. That being said, I think that this is a very nice piece. I like the contrast between light and dark, with the last bit of darkness (limbs) trying to block the brightest part of the scene. The sepia coloring that you are seeing is a product of the exposure, not of the filter. To compensate for the bright sun, the meter recommeded a slightly underexposed setting for exposure. This supersaturated the colors in the sky. This is an effective technique for capturing sunrises/sunsets. Keep it up, and never be afraid to ask questions of other photographers. I think you will find that most are very willing to help others out.

I have had to delete comments here from one deranged person that is simply a complete faecal mass.
I have had to restrict comments to members only since I have better things to do than keep a constant eye open for oral diarrhoea and clean up the mess.
