Morning Breaks
By jordanzander
July 12th, 2010
The road between Queenstown and Glenorchy was shut due to a rock fall, so waiting on the side of the road the clouds started to break as the sun came up. The colors were stunning.
Canon EOS 500D, 18-55IS lens, shot at 18mm. ƒ/8, 1/60s. I added contrast and saturation in Adobe Lightroom 2.

Really gorgeous shot. The reflection of the sky in the water is amazing. A pity about the aberration around the edges.

This is a wonderful wallpaper from New Zealand. This scene works very well for the wallpaper material. I can see some aberration that "Beltane" is talking about and it's not too heavy and should be an easy fix in your image editor. Good job with this image.

I like! ;-)
Water reflections = Awesome!
Clouds hovering above the lake = Fantastic!
Light = Just wow!
IFL Score: 9.9
(-0.1 for the tiny little aberration on the left, but hey, nobody is perfect!)

I got rid of a little bit of that stuff (aberration as Macindows said) with the stamp tool is PE7, I'm a photoshop noob so be nice xD (idc for criticism honestly) but here it is. I only did the part where it was really serious.

Well, in general you can say that a chromatic aberration occurs when a lens (in this case a kit lens which usually doesn't use high quality & expensive glass e.g. nano-coating) is not able to focus all colors to the same convergence point. The result: distortions, like the one you see on the left.
You can however, easily remove distortion in programs like Photoshop. Nevertheless, sometimes even the best photographer overlooks minimal flaws like this, so it's really not a biggie.

Whoa I am blown away with all the positive feedback!! Since finding this website a year ago I have always wanted to put an image up but didn't think I would ever make the grade. But I am real happy this shot (my first shot ever up loaded to IFL) has been enjoyed by so many people.
I am an amateur photographer with just kit gear so I will take on the feedback about the aberration and learn from your comments.
I have a few other shots from my trip to the South Island that I will put up on the Loupe in the coming days. I am also thrilled to be going back down in a couple of weeks time for work so I will try get some more shots I can upload.
Thanks for your feedback, its made my day.
Cheers
Jordan
