Magazine quality photos, Alan.

Super  "TALENT"

Awesome pictures! Thanks for sharing!!! Amazing layout 

Beautiful Alan! But, as you know I always have to add a little even if I never did it myself  ,I just can't help but feel a little more shift to the red would be more natural and soft.

Other then that you have the seal of approval from the chief engineer in charge of the half done crappy layout association.

Not that you quailify for membership in anyway.

Thanks Alex!

Brian...it is the camera...but thank you!

Thank you BReece...

Dorcie...thank you so much!

Thanks again Killian...

Mario...thank you and I agree...I may try an orange or red filter next time...

Alan

Alan, I was going to chime in earlier.  The effect of the low side lighting with corresponding shadows is great.  But, the but is the color temperature as already pointed out.  Morning and Evening color temperature is around 3000-degrees K(Sun light cuts through more atmosphere).  Now our digital cameras try to balance to a mid-day temperatures between 5500 to 6000 degrees K.

Adding a color filter would/should have minimal affect.  The camera's white balance will try its darnest to balance at 5500/6000.  Depending on the camera there should be controls to override white balance and/or to actually add color.

Thanks Ron...I really appreciate the positive help.  I am beginning to understand some of these points.  I have a great photo shop program and wonder if that is where I need to make my adjustments and just let the camera do its thing....so....after taking the picture, then "play" with the photo in photoshop...??

Alan

Greart effect.

Also, if you are modelling the SP or Amtrak, there is the SUNSET LTD.....

If you are shotting B&W FILM, what settings would you use?

I would try the program, but I think the stuff looks more "real" if ballanced when shot.

Alan yes you can make changes via Photo Shop, but.  The easiest way will be a "global" change also changing color in shadows (gray/black) to the color you use.  You can define the area by outlining it and change what is within the outlined area but that is time consuming.

Check you camera instruction manual for color control. Also anything in manual about white balance.

Ron

Thanks Ron!!  I have two camera's.  The shots above are taken with a Kodak point and shoot but I have my Nikon that I am going to start using more and more....it has quite a few settings so I will take a look and see what is available.

Thanks again guys for the pointers...
