Satyre's photos thread

Thank you for your example JeanPaul!

I agree with the fact a post treatment is needed for having a photo very close to ours eyes. Indeed, a camera isn't as powerful as eyes... It doesn't manage to work well strong contrasts, a high range of colors, and so on. On the other side, I understand well someone dislike touching up photos . Once again that's a matter of taste.

Well, I've finally gotten spare time for photographing, so here's a new set:

Hope, you'll enjoy them

That the normal exposure (0EV). This one is not a HDRi or other similar treatment . I've just assembled the two photos and improve contrasts, that' all.

Thanks

I was really lucky to have a such exposure on the vertorama one. The sky was very dark in the background while the hill was lit by a short rift in clouds.

The two black stripes aren't really fine, I know...

Thank you.

Quote from DvS

you have trees with vertical lines and then you have felled trees with diagonal lines leading you out of the picture.

That's what I like on this

Finally, I got my Photomatix licence a few days ago : )

Sunrise's track .:HDR:. (3 shots with standard exposures (-2EV, 0EV, +2EV))

Niark niark niark Ok, let's go for sunrises...

What do you have against my sunsets/sunrises? I really love doing photos at dusk or at dawn, colors are the most interesting.

As a matter of fact, my country is a little bit boring now... only uninteresting fields as far as the eye can see... I'm looking forward to the summertime, when fields are colored by bloomy grasses and when trees get their leaves. There, I could do something new

Thank you Dark for nice words

Well, for you JP:

hey JP, how do you feel about HDR now? Still hating it?

Quote from JeanPaul

Give me the normal exposure original raw file for that image and you will see exactly what I am talking about.

I don't think so... but I'm very curious, the raw file has been sent to you. It's not exactly the same shot, but a pretty similar one of the same place from where the image was taken from.

In that way, there's zero assemblage to do.

Here's my version:

I'm looking forward to your version JP

No buddy, I've sent you the 0EV exposed shot.

I picked up with my camera the shadows brightness to have the best luminosity in the whole HDR picture. And I can avoid so any kind of noise after post processing.

Well, I'm going to upload the 3 shots and then I pass them on to you.

Sorry Seir, but I prefer the HDR one...

On your version, the sky is overexposed and colors are dull

Here's is the no-retouching version (+1EV). You could do the difference between colors of my HDR version and standard colors

They are almost the same... only shadows and highlights are improved to have a dynamic photo. That said, I admit I saturated colors a little bit in photoshop.
