PING Ron C: Some of my Other Stuff

Just to demonstrate that I dabble in some of the odd, expressive, and
experimental stuff from time-to-time, here are a few of my manipulations.
Naturally I don’t expect too much, as that taste thing comes into play, and
I know that there are folks in this NG who are not fans of HDR. I will tell
you that none of these ever won any sort of competition.

This is an HDR which has a similar look to your Summer shot.

This is a pushy HDR.

Since obviously I am not RonC, I am afraid to comment, as I don't want
to be accused of hijacking the thread.

I'm not ignoring you, just don't have much to add to the discussion
at the moment. I know you dabble, as you've posted some dabbles
previously. Yes, the first shot does have a similar quality to my
end of summer shot.
For what it's worth, I do true-to-life stuff every now and then.

Understood.

Thanks for responding as you did.

Moving along under the heading of experimental dabbling...
Someone in an old thread brought up reticulation. I found a
reticulation filter in Photoshop and did a bit of playing around.

I never experimented with film reticulation so have no idea how
well this emulates the actual wet processing effect.

For fun, here are a few variations:

You may need to zoom in a bit on the 3rd one to see the effect.

Is emulation of wet processing important, or is the issue whether, in
your opinion, it improves the image.

Today I had a bad shooting day. I was shooting surfers, but i made some
basic mistakes, and I really don't like the images. The ISO was set too
high for the shooting, and there was too much noise. In addition the
waves were not very high.

After I looked at the images, I consoled myself by doing a flower
impression. I know some won't like it, but I do.

Yup! Why ISO 5000, when ISO 400 would have been more than adequate?

You are quite correct. I don’t particularly like it, but I guess it is that
taste thing again.

The biggest problem I have with it is, it was shot back in February, not
today, and you have shared it with us before on 10/12/2017.

If you look closely, it has been considerably changed, although the
concept is similar.
