That's a stunning looking problem! Has it got a grade? Looks tricky. Has it been done or is it still a project?

I'm keen for a trip to Queens some time. Looks awesome.

CWIF photo galleries are now starting to be put up - work in progress but the first batch has some nice shots (all indoors, but all bouldering!)
My favourites include number 29 and 35 in the qualifiers gallery (and Magpie should check out number 19 for a back shot) but there are loads more.

They look fine on my MAC. The climbers are bright but the rest of cave in shadow

Do they look really dark to everyone?

SA Chris · March 16, 2009, 09:23:24 pm

possibly a natch underexposed, but not far enough to be an issue. IMO, although it's all personal preference innit.

dave · March 16, 2009, 09:25:35 pm

there's no difference between dylans hair and the near total blackness surrounding him. on ru all you can really see if skin a yellow shirt, everything else look close to black. my monitor is a CRT and is fairly well calibrated. if you're on a laptop or a TFT screen then you could be seeing anything depending on what angle you're looking at.

Maybe my 24 inch imac screen could do with some calibrating! I have to say though, its a very fine line between the arty moody shot i was going for, and getting it wrong, and instead having an underexposed shot. All easily fixed in Lightroom, but still the fine line is there.

dave · March 16, 2009, 09:32:11 pm

its always worth doing at least a basic calibration so you know what you're looking at is ballpark. i don't know if lighroom comes with adobe gamma, but photoshop does, you can do a quick and easy calibration with that, does the job.

Nice one Dave, i have photoshop as well, so will give it a go.

dave · March 16, 2009, 09:49:05 pm

make sure you're sat viewing exactly central to the screen too and have the gamma window open in the centre of the screen. my old laptop used to look crazily different if you viewed off-angle, or at the edge of the screen, i dare say the imac screen is much better than that but no TFT i've ever seen is perfect in that respect.

Jim · March 16, 2009, 10:30:47 pm

The colours on ruperts shot are all wrong, the chalk on teds shot is silver, dylogs hair doesn't seem to exist and the photo's just seem heavily doctored.
I can see your going for the dark moody type effect but it seems more like I'm getting tunnel vision with colour blindness

account_inactive · March 17, 2009, 09:52:14 am

My hair is mostly grey so Adam has done a good job

Fatboy · March 17, 2009, 11:16:05 am

Not too sure about the 'quality' tag but here are some pics from the weekend and the Irish bouldering meet;

Like those shots of the climbers amongst the rocks - reminds me what it was like walking in last year to be confronted by what appeared at first glance to be a pile of rubble and scree. Took a while before I could actually see anything that looked climbable but once I had managed that the lines started to become more obvious.

Did Sloper (Tom) do anything of any note this year?

Fatboy · March 17, 2009, 11:39:34 am

Yeah I like those shots too!
Puts in to perspective how many unclimbed lines there are in Glendalough!!

Tom? Well he drank a lot if that counts?!?!
