It was amazing how the clouds parted and regrouped so quickly during our visit to New Zealand. This dramatic cloud pattern shot was taken right before I took this shot. For this particular picture, I tilted the camera more skywards to emphasize the pattern of the parting clouds.
A companion to my first “lamb post”… 😛 I was lucky to catch yet another baby lamb looking for a drink of milk, this time at a closer distance, and with another baby lamb looking on too!
If you’ve followed my earlier rant about Adobe Lightroom’s handling of colours (take a look at Lightroom’s version of the above picture), here’s what I found on Adobe’s forums. Seems like the decision to switch back to Canon’s Digital Photo Professional (DPP) is the right one to take for now. Actually, DPP has improved with newer versions, kudos to Canon. The newest one I’m using (version 3.2) even include lens aberration correction for at least 2 out of the 3 most common lenses I use). Liking the results I got (having gotten used to and overcoming DPP’s poorer interface), I have replaced some of my recent NZ posts with DPP-rendered versions instead. So do take a look at these posts again if you found their colours lackluster recently. Hopefully, you might end up as pleasantly surprised as I am 🙂
Coming up with names for all of my New Zealand pictures are not easy, not when there were so many different pictures (with similar subject but yet different refreshing angles) to take at each spot we arrived at! The above is another shot I caught at Lake Tekapo. This was taken some time after dad took “Russell Lupins Bloom At Lake Tekapo”. Note the change in lighting… For my shot, I’ve decided to use a wider angle to catch the side-lighting over the blooming Russell Lupins.
