Alberti Posted April 24, 2011 Share #1 Posted April 24, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) At the Haags Gemeentemuseum I saw these marvelous RGB patterns made by the American artist Sol Lewitt. [ATTACH]254304[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]254302[/ATTACH] I matched the color correction and did a little bit of exposure compensation. They are at the opposite each other in the hall. Enjoy albert Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted April 24, 2011 Posted April 24, 2011 Hi Alberti, Take a look here Sol Lewitt's RGB testpattern . I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Alberti Posted April 24, 2011 Author Share #2 Posted April 24, 2011 Just for fun I have converted the pictures in BW using my new C1 vs 6.1: this has sliders to set the saturation for RGB values. I manipulated until I got a strong image worthy of the museum that also has so many works of M.C. Escher.

pauledell Posted April 24, 2011 Share #3 Posted April 24, 2011 Albert, This is a great presentation either in color or b&w. Maybe stronger in color but the lovely tones in b&w make it a toss-up to me. A marvelous job either way. Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
prunelle Posted April 24, 2011 Share #4 Posted April 24, 2011 Just for fun I have converted the pictures in BW... Oh dear, they look far better in b&w! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alberti Posted April 24, 2011 Author Share #5 Posted April 24, 2011 Hi Prunelle, I follow you - it is a stronger image this way. (even if the BW conversion is not a standard job) Though of course the colored original is the way the work of art 'is supposed to be'. I wouldn't dare to publish the BW in a catalogue. albert Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuxBob Posted April 24, 2011 Share #6 Posted April 24, 2011 Oh dear, they look far better in b&w! Yes, agreed, in colour they were at first flat but then in B6w the shapes jumped out. When I go back to the colour I can see the shapes but the b&w images are stronger. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
