Aouto ISO is a cool feature overlooked by many. Some system have neglected to implement exposure compensation together with it but I think that that problem is fading! -- teleportation kills |

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. IMHO, these do emulate film reticulation. In my early days, I was not so careful with temperature control, the main cause of reticulation. My high school photography teacher said that reticulation looks like little worms, and that's how you could tell it from grain. For fun, here are a few variations: https://www.dropbox.com/s/df1w6suuju...%20%231%5D.jpg * https://www.dropbox.com/s/6elpjru92z...%20%232%5D.jpg * https://www.dropbox.com/s/mhnt2roxtf...%20%233%5D.jpg * https://www.dropbox.com/s/zarlb31x76...%20%234%5D.jpg * ~ You may need to zoom in a bit on the 3rd one to see the effect. 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. https://www.dropbox.com/s/88qlfaor550xq22/20171015_Surfing_6942.jpg?dl=0 Other than being a stop or two too dark, it's not a bad image. The composition is right, and it conveys a feeling of motion. Lighten up- both on the photo and yourself! Thanks. I should. After I looked at the images, I consoled myself by doing a flower impression. I know some won't like it, but I do. https://www.dropbox.com/s/hhnanzhlhaww3za/20170205_Flowers_0056.jpg?dl=0 It's pretty. It conveys motion, the composition is good, and it's colorful. But much like Pollock #2, I don't get it! Although I like straight action shots: https://www.dropbox.com/s/34dql38y2704l01/1bringing%20home%20the%20duck.jpg?dl=0 I like to play. Such as this tiger that eats with a knife and fork. (which has been posted here before. https://www.dropbox.com/s/jtq9cvfnmyb2pc6/Table%20Manners.jpg?dl=0 Or, the tree, which was done with one the shot multiple exposure, as I walked around the tree. In PS I used the emboss filter, to get the depth effect. https://www.dropbox.com/s/2c7cul49u4jgo9b/tree1024.jpg?dl=0 -- PeterN |
