Advertisement Posted March 27, 2017 Posted March 27, 2017 Hi EoinC, Take a look here I like film...(open thread). I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
EoinC Posted March 27, 2017 Share #29662 Posted March 27, 2017 M3, Canon 50/1.4 LTM, HP5: Nice work, Brendan. I particularly like the tone 'groupings' in the 2nd shot, and the clear water. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenia Posted March 27, 2017 Share #29663 Posted March 27, 2017 'I seem to remember having read somewhere that in a real-world setting (as opposed to under controlled circumstances) there isn't any "correct" colour; there are only more or less "accurate" representations of colour, which will necessarily be based on the observer's perception.' Years ago I worked as an art teacher. I remember a test involving the red colour of the original cocacola sign. Students had 20 minutes to replicate the red of the sign in watercolours. This test had been earlier performed in the USA by 300 art students. Each result had then scientifically been messured. It showed that only one student got it right, some came close, but most were way off the original. As you correctly note, Philip, all of us have different perceptions of colour. It is not a question of wrong or right. Thank you for taking the time to make it clear! Best, Xenia 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EoinC Posted March 27, 2017 Share #29664 Posted March 27, 2017 I find a somewhat surreal feel to this one... NYC M7, 28 Portra 400 I like this, Adam - Kind of blizzard meets neon meets Mary Poppins! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EoinC Posted March 27, 2017 Share #29665 Posted March 27, 2017 Hi Gary I have noted that we all need calibrated monitors. I use 3 monitors in work and each reproduces colour differently, work from the same driver, are the same size and all made by Dell. At home I use a macBook. Again what I see influenced by ambient light (artificial late at night). I have already turned my green with Portra 400 down to 80% on the scanner software because Henry pointed that out. Thought I had sorted the problem! Obviously not. I will ask my family if they see the same and my colleagues in work. They all know I have colour issues, so are used to helping me out. I shall have to convert all to B&W for now I think. Btw on my iPhone they look fine to me. I'll ask a few people - they'll soon tell me. Regards Christopher Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro I'm with Gary on this, Christopher - Those renderings have a very strong green cast. The contents are good, so a white balance adjustment will produce good results. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EoinC Posted March 27, 2017 Share #29666 Posted March 27, 2017 Hi Christopher and everybody else too I don't have the time to be brief so forgive this long post... br Philip I'm glad you didn't have time to be brief, Philip - An excellent post. It reminded me of the observation by Monet of his changing perception of colour as his eyes aged, viewing the annual cycle of his garden. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilentShutter Posted March 27, 2017 Share #29667 Posted March 27, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) Thanks Christopher. Being colour blind will possibly explain it then, and I was more asking if there was a simple "get it right every time" button one could use. I would use it myself. The camellia shots for example, one is to my mind grossly green, again not being critical, just asking. Gary Better ? 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrckdavies Posted March 27, 2017 Share #29669 Posted March 27, 2017 Ok - using Camera Raw Filter in Photoshop I selected a neutral area. Defined as one where RGB are all within a range of 6 points by using colour selector. Then used white balance on the selection. So please note according to my friends the fence is green. Portra 400 (photo in sun) DLux Typ 109 (photo in shade) I think the digital flower should be a little more vibrant. Jpeg out of camera. Better?

mrckdavies Posted March 27, 2017 Share #29670 Posted March 27, 2017 Better ? Very good - thanks. Can you have a quick look at my next results to see if I'm getting close to a solution?

gsgary Posted March 27, 2017 Share #29680 Posted March 27, 2017 Philip Thank you for his. I greatly appreciate your time in responding. I think I may be able to make this work as I predominantly use the raw filter. Kind regards Christopher Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro I think if you correct colour film too much you are going to loose the distinctive look of certain films Sent from my SM-G903F using Tapatalk 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
