Continuing on from yesterday's Sunrise By The Hay Sheds I decided to go back there again, but this time at sunset to try and make use of the extra cloud cover.

I gave the sheds a little more room to 'breath' in this first one as Matt suggested. I think it's worked pretty well...

Hi Adam - the first bigstopper for me, the second seems a little too cramped or something at the bottom.

Lose the vignette in #1 (Lens correction in LR) and I think you are golden.

Thanks mate. I tried that, didn't work so well. The other one had it also but it's been cropped out after I used the adaptive wide angle tool in CS6 (what an awesome tool that is). I think it's from the edges of the big stopper filter showing at the corners.

Does anyone have any tips for correcting the colour cast from the big stopper? I managed it here, but thought someone might have a better way that doesn't involve pot luck. Lol!

I usually add green to counteract the magenta. I am not entirely convinced that it can be fully corrected but I am happy to be corrected on that.

i think they're both pretty cool!

Sometimes when I want to remove colour cast from a shot i will use Photoshop->adjustments->Hue and Saturation-> and then I will select the colour I want to try and reduce from the drop down menu and just reduce saturation on that colour, if I don't want to lose that colour in say the grass, I then make a quick selection, feather the edge and then inverse my selection so I isolate that area saving it from desaturation. Sometimes I have no idea of what colour will do the trick, so I may have to try them all to find what works.

My tip is hit cmd J and make a copy first, as you may want to blend them together to get the perfect look after you're done. I always remove too much for some reason!

I love the skies in these, classic bigstopper action, the shed also provides a nice anchor point.

The vignetting is from the bigstopper? I find you typically get some and using some form of reverse vignetting is needed.

The colour cast from teh B+W is typically a warm or brown cast, some programs allow cast correction and you can select the appropriate colour and dial in the strength.

There is a pretty method of colour cast removal that can be done in CNX2....I will have to try next time with the BigStopper cast
