Nerding on Photography

I like people like that ... I crush them in competitions!

I assume you mean cropping or deleting elements from a picture since a jpg is a processed image by an engineer at Canon, Nikon, etc. Images straight out of the camera are really crappy looking and get relegated to the reject bin unless the impact or subject is strong.

I shoot "RAW and jpg" and the jpg is a throw away except for viewing on a PC without a RAW viewer.

I don't know anyone that does not do post-processing of their images except my students and the first thing I do is get them to shoot RAW and how to do curves and sharpening.

Tony and I both have mirrorless fujifilm x-e1's, a few different lenses and creative cloud subscription that we play around with. It's a great hobby, we both really enjoy it.

I shoot with a Suomi KP/-31. If I want a longer shot, I grab my valuable Mosin 91/30 with the matching PU scope. Have a few others of interest (PPSh-41/PPS42 & 43 / Colefire / M1 / etc.) great hobby for the UPSer

I shout, "Bob bring the camera !!!"

You need to buy Bob a new camera for Christmas

Here's an HDR I did of the Philadelphia Art Museum a while back.

The above could be postcards----very nice pictures.

Thank you.

HDR is really cool when done right (I like the art museum).
Trey Ratcliff has a hell of a portfolio.

 

[Marne Vet]

This guy has made some amazing HDR's that aren't over processed, and look beautiful.

I am impressed with this.

I had to Google and research what you meant by HDR.

If you could more details. Camera? etc.

Thanks.

I re read your 1st and other post, but I am still not getting it about HDR.

HDR (High Dynamic Resolution) is an image resulting from taking digital pictures at different exposures usually at 2 stop intervals.
The pictures need to be taken on a tripod with the same image captured in each image. This exactness is not imperative but it works better the closer they are.
These 3 or 5 or 7 pictures at different exposures are then "loaded" into a software program such as Photomatix, Photoshop, Nik HDR Efex which analyzes pixel by pixel each image looking for color saturation and tonality (brightness or exposure) and through algorithms develops a single tone-mapped image with each pixel "maximally enhanced" in regards to tonality and saturation.
Tonality is easier to balance and most advances have been in controlling changes in hue and saturation to look more "natural".
Hopefully this helps out a little. It is a simplified description to get a person to understand the process.

I'm looking for some Flashcubes for my Instamatic

They keep them right next to the Sarsaparilla at the Soda Fountain.

Can we get a lime phosphate while we are there??

Hoax, It makes me hot when you post like this!

Kinda like under-exposing Kodachrome 2/3 of a stop.
