This file looks exactly like what came out of my Sigma DPm2. Funny.Hand held 800iso (BLENCOMO Treatment).
Silver Efex Pro 2 Sepia toned - Blended with Photomatix Tonemapped colour.
Michiel...EXACTLY?This file looks exactly like what came out of my Sigma DPm2. Funny.
Hi Werner,Barry, did you tonemap a single exp. (don't know if that is possible) or did you "develop" different exp to make a (pseudo) HDR?
Thanks, Barry have to try that...
No worries BarryMichiel...EXACTLY?
Link please Michiel (You have me very curious now) as I "NEVER" intentionally intend to copy anybody else on this forum (I would credit the photographer if I ever did)...A WATE fitted to a Merrill would be funny indeed.
BTW I thought you never came to England because of the tabloids :grin: this was taken in Truro Cathedral, Cornwall, ENGLAND.
Tonemapping and HDR is pretty standard these days when used in dark buildings like churches etc. If only to help get over DR problems, ie. trying to balance details in bright colourful church windows with the dark shadows. Photomatix does have a particular signature all of it's own, so did you tonemap or HDR your Merrill shot?
I effectively tonemapped this twice (Blending the same Photomatix image with the sepia SE Pro2 image) with just a single exposure as I had no tripod to take multiple bracketed HDR shots...Cheers Barry
Nice picture Barry !_______________________
Taken a few hours ago on the south coast of Cornwall...This is the ancient fishing village of Polruan (Opposite Fowey).
As usual I didn’t have my tripod with me but was lucky enough to find a secure fence to rest my camera on as the light was disappearing fast.
This time I managed to get away with a 4 second exposure at F8 and 50 iso (BLENCOMO treatment).
Many thanks Annna T...Always happy to answer (sensible) questions as yours isNice picture Barry !
If you allow me one question : why did you chose such a long exposure ? Was that in order to smooth the clouds and water ?
From what I read concerning the A7r sensor, I would have picked ISO 200 or 400 and given your distance and the performance of the 55mm I would have opened at F4, or even wider @ F 2.8. Especially since you didn't have a tripod along with you.
Plus @ ISO 50, you loose some DR and I don't think that you get less noise. The optimal performance is reached at ISO 200 with that sensor.
I'm sure you know all that, hence my question.
Worried! :toocool: ”Similar” type of file then oke:No worries Barry
Let's not get things complicated because of the word exactly. I am not talking about the subject, but the type of file the texture and the colours, the brown/greenish colour temperature and the somewhat harsh sharpness of it reminds me of the DP2m files.
Dpm files look tonemapped by themself at least that is my impression by their sheer sharpness and somewhat false colours. Let's say they often tend to go in the sepia direction. Brown/greenish
In the end I was not very happy with their colour rendition, at least if you want to get the colours right which was a hard job on those files also in landscapes, although I loved the sharpness especially for texture.
So all I am saying is that in my humble opinion your treatment resulted in something that looks like a dpm file. Tonemapping and sepia
Werner, very nice picture :thumbup: I always like longish exposures with fast moving water, glad you had a go at the Tone mapping...Cheers BarryBarry, i did a quick test of the tone mapping in Photomatix, though nothing to post yet it looks promising. I only did "real" HDR's so far but not too many...
I know some people are slow(er than others) but you are joining in two months behind.:wtf:
