So I worked on the waterfall some more. Did I over edit? Reason I ask is for the first time in a while I'm actually gonna print something out . So I want it to look right I accept criticisms , just dont be a jerk about it. Editing isn't my strong suit .
@redenigma what do you mean too hard?
@Timmah1979 like the trees at the top of the falls should have softer edges. it kind of looks like you sharpened the picture just a wee bit too much
@redenigma ahh ok. I'll loosen it up then. Thanks 🙂
@redenigma I'll get editing down at some point lol. I've never had someone to work with me on that aspect. I'm literally self taught . And ofcourse I developed a style of over editing lol. Before I took the easy way out. Just HDR it. Now I'm trying to actually learn. I'm noticing it's easier for me to learn Lightroom rather than Photoshop.
@Timmah1979 what waterfall is it?
@redenigma this is up in chittenango falls. Near Syracuse,NY
@Timmah1979 that's the area i want to move to... :)
@redenigma it's funny. It's literally 40 min drive from where I am and it took me 44 years to visit
@redenigma I took back roads up (I'm notoriously cheap and only take thruway when I have to) and the whole drive was amazing
@redenigma where's that
@Timmah1979 Chimney Bluffs, Lake Ontario. it's in Huron, which is a town no one's ever heard of :)
@redenigma you just gave me a new destination. It's a 90 minute drive for me
@Timmah1979 those photos are 4 years old. haven't been there since 2019. there's people living in my summer camp :p
@Timmah1979 the camp is in South Butler, another town no one's ever heard of.
but i'm looking for 20 plus acres around the Syracuse area to permanently move to
@redenigma you'll definitely find it around chittenango. I'm not gonna lie. It was nice not being in a city for a good half a day yesterday. Only thing that annoyed me was I got lost coming back (that part I'm NOT upset about bc I found a cool wooded area) but I found this beautiful crane feeding . So ofcourse it wasnt planned and being I just got done shooting falls I had the wrong lens on thinking I was done for the day. So I get back to car as quickly as possible and change the lens
@redenigma I get back to the spot and I think it heard me because as soon I got there it was in mid flight with the fish in its mouth. Could have been the perfect photo
@redenigma that's legit how my luck runs EVERY day
@Timmah1979 any livestock restrictions? i find places getting developed get pissy about animals. i have sheep.
@redenigma that I dunno. I seen it and I know if I had the $$ id take it myself lol. The price def seems right. I guess you could call realtor and find out. I wouldn't personally think so with everything I've seen that way ..horses, cows....buffalo (yes really)
@Timmah1979 Oswego & even Wolcott have no livestock limitations in certain areas, even on acreage. what's the point of having & paying taxes on acreage you can't use?
@Timmah1979 The only "over-edited" place noticeable to me is the dividing line between the trees and the sky. But the image overall goes well with the sharpness you added. It almost looks like a scene from a retro video game. Depends on what look you're going for.
@Timmah1979 Actually, now that I think about it, it reminds me of some indie album covers I've seen too.
@chevalier26 I just want a cool print for my wall. I rarely print my work out because I'm constantly tweaking and never happy. But something about the shot is screaming it needs to be printed.
@Timmah1979 A lot of the funkiness that can appear digitally can go away when it's on paper. If you have the resources, I would do a few test runs to see what you'd need to change to get better print results, because it can sometimes be finicky.
@chevalier26 agreed and I'm editing on a tablet right now so I'm sure it's not as sharp looking as if I were doing it on my Mac
@Timmah1979 i think the edges might be a bit too "hard"
