beamer3.6m Posted May 8, 2008 Author Share Posted May 8, 2008 I have played around a little and I think this looks a little more natural, although the sky could be darker.(click to enlarge) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anthony Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Marked improvement for a "little play" - well done. That vignetting can be tempered a bit with some flat frames. You'll get a mroe even background then.Anthony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
