Re: Photo Comp - Chat Thread
My photography mojo ebbs and flows so it depends on what mood I'm in each month. Have an idea for this month so I'll see if I get the chance to carry it out in time as it depends on the weather, always a risk at this time of the year.

Re: Photo Comp - Chat Thread
It's hard to explain but also quite general - a couple of good entries already. I have these as well from a few years back. This one:

Re: Photo Comp - Chat Thread
Littleoldman, it doesn't have to be too complex, just something a bit off the wall.
was wondering the same about Keith's pic. I have a personal hatred of HDR, though his looks good - as he says, too often it's just garish, but even done without all that, the lower contrast can look a bit odd. If you are after trying to bring out the lowlights then look into ETTR (exposure to the right) which is the digital equivalent of the film adage, expose for the lowlights, develop for the highlights. In a nutshell you do away with "ideal" exposure and, using the histogram, increase exposure until the brightest parts (peaks) hit 100%, so recording maximum info about the scene. The in post you balance it all out again. I've seen the odd picture taken against full sun like this and the shadows, while deep, still have detail. |

Re: Photo Comp - Chat Thread
I read it as a bit of experimentation out of the norm.

Re: Photo Comp - Chat Thread
Re hdr. I use hdr occasionally when the subject matter requires it. I use a Photomatrix plugin for Photoshop elements. It gives about 15 preset outputs, some subtle, some not. Even then there are plenty of adjustments to vary output even further.

Re: Photo Comp - Chat Thread
Here is my other "not as bad" shot from the roll I tried in the TLR assemble-it-yourself camera Lady Poppy got me. This one needed rescuing in Lightroom with the shadows opened out, some split toning and tweaks to the exposure and colour saturation.
Was a lot of fun putting it together, with it's Haynes manual, but some of the plastics did not screw together very well, I had a feeling light would get in (it did in some places quite badly), and the film advance sprocket did not work very well so deciding how far to wind it was hit and miss. Most disappointing was the focusing though as you could not really see if you'd got it right in the viewfinder as it was very dull, even on a sunny day, and the lenses were impossible to synchronise. I obviously did not get that bit right during assembly, despite following the instructions, as most were pretty blurry but it was a bit of fun and a nice experiment. At £15 for a film and processing at my local Jessops I doubt I'll do any more tests though and it is a fun ornament in the study now. Experiment 1 by Trevor Laight, on Flickr
