First go with ND Filter
Excellent first go with the ND. That second photo is beautifully composed and like the B&W treatment.

Thanks Russ took them this morning it was a lifeless bleak day so they cried out for the mono treatment.

Cherry Tree - into the sun
Nigel - thanks. I went for f22 to maximise the "star burst" effect from the sun coming through the tree; frankly I forgot about the likely diffraction effects. Next time it might be better to use a star filter and get a bit further back from the tree. Phil

A Few Effects
I'm not usually into filter effects at all, usually aiming for the true-to-life where possible, but I was exploring some options in Sagelight 4.0, and the results had such an impact that I really want to share them ... I am making a video project of a visit to Bocketts Childrens Farm recently, wi...

A Few Effects
I can see the merits of using filters like this to morph images in a video, but not so much for individual photos. Unless there is a brief to produce images like this, or a creative reason that makes it valid, there's no compelling reason to do it. Where this differs from images manipulated by t...

K3 & F*250-600mm, first test inc. RAW file!
The amount of sharpening required would presumably also be related to the use or not of the aa filter simulator ... was this on or off for your shot Unlocker?

Breathing New Life .... ?
A number of artists (my wife among them) sometimes use photographs as the model from which to create a painting. But they use paint, and it takes artistry to get the colours, textures and shapes correct. Running a digital filter on a photograph uses a set of algorithms to create a facsimile of a pai...

Breathing New Life .... ?
I agree with Fletcher's points. In addition, the use of the filter doesn't have to be the final step, but could be the starting point for further user input processing to create a different look. Cheers. Philip

Breathing New Life .... ?
I think what I was referring to (as others have picked up on within this thread) is that there is artistry applied to the way in which some process their images. This could involve applying textures, vignettes, brushes, layers, contrasts, colours, levels or almost anything you can think of in any i...

Across Riddlesdown, at 14mm
Thanks for trying that Rob, I've been experimenting a bit as well - unfortunately can't post the images until very late tonight as I don't have a strong enough WiFi connection for my laptop for now. The next darkest image was very underexposed, I doubt you'd get much quality brightening out of it...

Across Riddlesdown, at 14mm
Overall I prefer your original HDR shot now Nigel, although here's a better competitor to it. Between the two you can see clearly the extra detail available in the sky from the HDR where the single raw image here just doesn't have that info available to start with. But I still don't consider H...

Across Riddlesdown, at 14mm
Just to be clear, Nigel kindly supplied me two raws to work on for single image processing. The brighter normally exposed one was unusable due to blown highlights and any further ETTR would have been worse. The dark one, although underexposed, still had some blown highlights together with shadows n...

Interesting!! Nigel, I did receive your RAW files by email (thanks). The first thing I did was to open the "darkest" RAW in a trial copy of RawDigger. The histograms shown below refer to the RAW data not to the preview image in the RAW. As you can see, although there is around 5% clipping in ...

That is the traditional thinking - that is being challenged here really, and it has been my suspicion for a while that we may be accepting a rendition of such scenes that is in fact constrained by the technology of single shots and the processing, It may be more helpful to think in terms of 'constr...

Yes. But HDR, and PP shadow recovery, and highlight reconstruction and a grad filter are, in the present context, all just tools for compensating for the sensor's lack of DR. Each have their strengths and weakness - but the fundamental limitation is the sensor and if it's DR is sufficient none of...

K-3 and IR in my favourite location
I've been meaning for a while to do some more serious photography with my K-3, in a location I keep going back to over and over again. I decided today, before I went to Roche Abbey, to try some IR shots with a Hoya R72 IR Filter. I chose my Pentax-M 28mm F3.5 lens to partner the filter, (a) becaus...
