Advertisement Posted July 4, 2006 Posted July 4, 2006 Hi dhsimmonds, Take a look here Crossing the Lagoon. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
john_r_smith Posted July 4, 2006 Share #2 Posted July 4, 2006 David this is a really lovely picture, full of light and movement. I like it a lot. How did you make this shot - is it a B/W jpeg or a colour conversion? John Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhsimmonds Posted July 4, 2006 Author Share #3 Posted July 4, 2006 Thank you John. It is a monochrome conversion from colour JPEG using desaturation and channels method. I usually just try looking at greyscale first, just to get some idea of how the image would look in monochrome. Sometimes (but rarely I have to say) the image looks good enough using just greyscale.

gareth_c Posted July 4, 2006 Share #4 Posted July 4, 2006 A nice shot but I think it may have become overly compressed when you saved this for web. It is around 140kb I think but you are allowed larger files, well worth it for this shot I think. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
firoze Posted July 4, 2006 Share #5 Posted July 4, 2006 Great shot David! What Gareth suggests is worth trying - the photo certainly merits it. Regards Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dhsimmonds Posted July 4, 2006 Author Share #7 Posted July 4, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) Thanks for the advice Gareth & Firoze My first attempt at attaching a slightly larger file was rejected as being too large. I suspect that by reducing the already reduced image has over compressed the file. I have to admit that I don't get much practice in reducing image files......I am usually concerned in getting them up to a print size of 20" x16"! Incidentally this image was originally printed at 16"x12". Cheers, Dave Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
elansprint72 Posted July 4, 2006 Share #8 Posted July 4, 2006 Dave, If Canaletto had a digicam in 2006, this is what he would have produced. Compression problem I can relate to, sometimes the web is a poor showcase. Cheers, Pete. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wda Posted July 5, 2006 Share #9 Posted July 5, 2006 I like the dynamics of this shot. It works well in bw. David Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan_drabek Posted July 6, 2006 Share #10 Posted July 6, 2006 It's interesting seeing a gondola out in a chop. You usually see pictures of them in placid canals. I like the brisk look. DD Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
