Beauport - Yellow Tint
They're sort of a pair and so I may as well publish them at the same time. I processed the other shot in colour to get the tonal ranges that I wanted in the shot and then moved over to Silver Efex Pro. I applied some colour filter to soften the horizon and then used a U-point just to take a last bit of structure away from the water. I have also adjusted the crop using a combination of both the golden spiral and the golden ratio. Finally I played around with the tint, thinking I'd go blue to start off with, but then settling on a yellow which I tweaked a little.
It's shots like this that I feel would be better suited by a super sharp lens. I open these up and they are soft a 1:1 which bugs me slightly. All through processing I am fighting not to let the softness creep in an dominate, whilst also trying to ensure that I don't over sharpen to compensate. I think I may have pushed this one a little too far. What I'm getting to is: am I doing something wrong or is the softness (slight fuzziness in fact) coming from the lens? Tips from the technical masters would be much appreciated.....
