nevinK [2010-01-24 13:26:37 +0000 UTC]

compelling. i'd be interested to know whether this was shot with film or digital. if digital, did you desaturate the original color to achieve that wonderful copper hint?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Talkingdrum In reply to nevinK [2010-01-24 21:19:08 +0000 UTC]

This was shot with a digital. I did a black and white conversion and then some sort of sepia toning in Photoshop. It was a while ago now so I don't remember exactly how I did it.

nevinK In reply to Talkingdrum [2010-01-25 13:58:43 +0000 UTC]

thanks. i've been trying for some time to come up with a way to duplicate with digital the tones i used to get with dektol and a certain agfa paper in the darkroom. the best i've come up with so far is to shoot at a high color temp (8400 K) then desaturate in photoshop.
an example is the oak tree in winter.
i'd welcome your comments/suggestions.

Mid winter on the West coast, the weather and atmosphere can be pretty heavy. Makes for some dramatic pictures though.

and when you say "west coast" i figure you're not talking about this west coast--killafornia?

This is HDR right?
I've recently started looking at this but my results are no where near as impressive.
I change between +1ev, -1ev and +2ev, -1ev.

Fantastic photo btw. I spotted you in daily deviant.
