dpattinson Posted August 29, 2007 Share #1 Posted August 29, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Something from Carnival, finally got the IR filter for my 24mm elmarit asph, a quick search of the forum and a few minutes with a sharpie and the colours are looking good CarnivalDreams - a photoset on Flickr Will post some in the photo forum once I can resize (at home).

wattsy Posted August 29, 2007 Share #2 Posted August 29, 2007 Nice dark tones and warm colour. Very different to what I was expecting to see. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpattinson Posted August 29, 2007 Author Share #3 Posted August 29, 2007 Nice dark tones and warm colour. Very different to what I was expecting to see. Carnival really deserves jump-up colour, so I pumped the saturation and vibrance during raw processing. I was shooting with med-high colour sat on the jpegs, so I knew what I was getting.

grober Posted August 29, 2007 Share #4 Posted August 29, 2007 I love the one of the woman in pink who looks like she's throwing a kiss in the direction of the camera. Tell us more: What was the time of day for these outdoor scenes? ISO1250? Processed through Capture One or Adobe Camera Raw (ACR)? Also, are the colors as vibrant and irredescent as we see here on any prints you may have made? Good work; thanks for posting! -g Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, are the colors as vibrant and irredescent as we see here on any prints you may have made? Good work; thanks for posting! -g she was actually throwing a kiss, I'm a handsome bloke after all Time ranged between around 2pm through to 7:30pm, roughly tracked by the ISO I used in the shots 160-640. I processed the raw files in PSE-4, which appears to strip out the exif data. I generally pushed the saturation and vibrance up by 10% or so, used about 40% 'clarity', and tweaked the exposure if it was a bit under. Noise reduction in that RAW processor seemed to have zero effect, so there is effectively no noise reduction as far as I can tell. In PS I adjusted levels - usually pulling the high point down to get more snap in the shot, the shadows were already good from the raw conversion. I didn't do any dodging or burning, but I did mask the sky/highlights by 25% when adjusting levels to avoid blowing them. I'm printerless at the moment, but I suspect if I did print - I'd end up toning down the colour and possibly contrast a bit, my dell laptop monitor is not the best vehicle for colour balancing I'm pretty sure (actually certain) that my workflow could be much improved, but to paraphrase HCB - I'm a hunter, not a cook - and I find it hard to buckle down and investigate better post-proc tools and approaches. (my darkroom printing is similarly basic, dodge and burn are about as sophisticated as I get). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
