Re: Fun with D800 Photos

Finally got my Platinum workflow up and running again (been down for a bit now)

first version of the Platinum over Pigment 'Roasted Corn'

(have some more tweaking to do, but very much in the ballpark)



(oh.. 800E w 50mm 1.2) shot here is a photo of the print, taken with an iphone

Re: Fun with D800 Photos

Jim, can you elaborate what you're doing here?
start with color image

o convert to CMYK (max GCR)

o convert K channel to Greyscale, then RGB

o add color mask appropriate for digital negative for platinum printing (Ziatype)
(digital neg has registration marks on corners)

o back to CMYK of image.. clear K channel

o convert the CMY image to RGB (only color info, no detail or contrast.. that's all in the K channel)
o print color info with registration marks onto COT 320 paper.

o coat with Ziatype chemistry (1platinum: 2 palladium to get neutral platinum print)

o place negative onto coated paper in registration, exposue with nuArc plate burner

o process

A simple process :)
of course.. why do something easy, when you can make as complicated as possible :)


this is the color info that gets printed on the watercolor paper




( i skipped the hard step of calibration of the digital negative :)

Re: Fun with D800 Photos

Night sky tonight...this time taken with my Zeiss 100 makro, f2, 1000 iso, 10 seconds. (D800e) Even at this short shutter speed the stars show as tiny streaks...more so than the shots I took at 14mm. This one taken from the front of my home in Colorado. The clouds also show movement and reflect the light from this area. Eleanor

Re: Fun with D800 Photos

Thanks for your comments Jorgen and Daniel. With the summit image I felt the haze from wyoming and Montana wildfires in the distance and the shadows on the mountains surrounding the lake helped give a feeling of drama and depth that I liked. Eleanor

Re: Fun with D800 Photos

Thanks Pramote. My favorite view too. Nice image of yours of cherry creek with your Z18... How do you like that lens? I was thinking of adding a Zeiss ultra wide for my 800e...am lusting after the new 15 but it's awfully expensive and big and bulky. Eleanor

Eleanor...Very beautiful B&W of my favorite view.
Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Eleanor! I love it! It's on my D800E almost all the time with Lee adapter ring. It's light, very sharp and good for filters. Distortion can be corrected very easily with PS. I now use the 14-24mm only when I want 14mm. I am quite sure you will like it.
