Ann, Steve and Jack, Thank you all for your comments on my blog entry.
Steve, >i don't know how Buddhism is presented in the book, >but Andy Karr practices and teaches Tibetan Buddhism, >somewhat different from Zen That was declared at the end of the book. However "the attitude", if I may call that, was obvious from the start. The blown highlights... Well, I have re-visited the original and I must tell you that there are NO blown highlights. In fact, the image (raw) has been underexposed about 1/2 stop! The apparent problem stems from my post processing to increase the contrast. I have tried to correct it and I liked the re-appearing detail (ripples) on the top 1/5 (the image at PN remains the same). The contrast is still just fine. Thanks for bringing this into attention. >one question that arises is, >just how much manipulation should one do in contemplative photography? The book is clear about that: A heavy-handed post processing defeats the purpose (of contemplative photography). I will be trying to print the revised version of the Blue Boat soon. It looks beter now. Thanks very much, again... --------------------------------------------------------------------- http://patoloji.gen.tr http://celasun.wordpress.com/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/bc_the_path/ http://photo.net/photodb/user?user_id=2226822 http://www.pentaxphotogallery.com/artists/bulentcelasun 2015-11-21 6:07 GMT+02:00 ann sanfedele <ann...@nyc.rr.com>: > I guess we shall have to ponder that > > a > > > On 11/20/2015 8:25 PM, steve harley wrote: >> >> On 2015-11-20 15:50 , ann sanfedele wrote: >>> >>> Yup the monitor varience, but also, to me the white on the boat really is >>> white, and looks right whereas the very tippy top of the frame to me is >>> blown outin the sense that it is too glary and pulls your eye away >>> fromthe >>> subject. >> >> >> one question that arises is, just how much manipulation should one do in >> contemplative photography? >> >> > > > -- > PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List > PDML@pdml.net > http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net > to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and > follow the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
