lovely shot Mr. Rumland. The colors here are beautiful, and the subject matter could not be more perfect for me. I am both an amatuer astronomer (very amateur) and an amatuer photographer. well done!

I enjoyed this immensely just as it was, and for my money, the most interesting of the three. I copied it and played with the brightness and contrast, and my feeling is that increasing the exposure any would have had a negative effect on the mood of the piece - the phrase "expectant darkness" just leaped into my head, but I can't think of how to use it in a sentence. If this were one of mine I would be planning to mat and hang it, so there you go. My first "7" in the new rating system.

hugo, you got me ;^) i had just returned from the bar downstairs when i posted this and i think that i had some alcohol-induced dyslexia ;^) you are absolutely correct, i meant +0.5EV. another, much simpler solution would've been to wait a minute or two and the ground lighten a bit as this was shot just before sunrise.
thanks for your comment and reminder of our shared affliction regarding +/- EVs ;^)
take care,
tom

Simple, but superb. I somehow recognise that question of a -0,5EV.
Going back to that discussion, I would say the secondary subject (the landscape and the sky as the main light source) is the bright part in this photo. If you'd wanted to revive the details and contasts in the dark tripod and bring some light into the primary subject I think I would've chosen a PLUS 0,5EV. It would also brighten up the photo....
(Dark subject against a bright subject, a +xx EV setting..., or to quote you: "i would only have underexposed (- EV) if the wall was my subject and the man simply an incidental object. this
would've darkened his skin even further and possibly made his expression lose detail."
Hence, a + 0,5, or even a +1 EV setting (If the D100 is as sensitive as the F100) would've been in order here...
As to the composition and the atmosphere of the photo, I think it is outstanding. Great shot. I'd really love to see that place throug my own camera....;o)
Cheers,
Hugo

Good Morning Tom
First off...This is a way cool picture.
Very soft blend of colors from base to top.
Good Job !
I want to thank you for all your help, I'm going shooting this morning and I'm going to try some things that you have suggested.
I do shoot with a tripod and I use Nikon Capture - Corel 12 and PS 8. Today I'm going to try the normal setting for the sharpness and see what happens.
Tom you made me laugh pretty hard...Quoteing you -( big glass makes you want to shoot as tight as possible ;^) I can't help it either. )
Attached is why :)
Have a great day !
If you don't mind, please email me.
