AMAZING sky. Love the third one with the spiked fence... just beautiful.
I did a bunch of the Hyde Park fountain, mostly whining to myself about how the spray made taking photos of the Fish fountains near impossible. Lesson, as shown here : find the beauty in what you see.

Fantastic stuff Wendell, you did a great job capturing the sky in such a beautiful state! Well done. Love the use of the fence, it works well as a contrast to the sky.

thanx groovers
yes find beauty in the mundane things
look further than what you see
regarding fence shots I included it as foreground interest and to frame the composition i always lien things up in the corner like leading lines
the contrast to the sky also works well as the urban foreground interest is man made and stale contrasted to the freeform beauty of nature as the sky

Hi Kevin
+2 colour balance compensation on the D2x when you press the
'WB' and the main control dial, it's like 5600Kelvin

Do you leave it in auto WB then add the + or - colour balance, just playing around with it now

yo
yes leave it at auto then use the colour balance exposure
or you can set colour balance in kelvins
actually use the forward dial to set + - it goes up to -3 and +3
the main command dial changes the white balance
mode
sorry for the confussion
