Hi Tim

I have no problem at all if you want to photoshop.
Maybe earning my money with computer support makes me tired of watching
computer generated stuff again on the PDML,
so I'm somewhat influenced ;-)
I would much, much prefer to see some wildlife bird photos according to your
project with or without a crappy lens ;-)
greetings
Markus



I assume you dislike it out of ethical reasons.
I should confess; I have mixed emotions towards it myself. Generally
speaking I am against heavy manipulations. I do like the idea of
being true
to the original capture.

 This is a sandwich of three different exposures, all from the same
 standpoint, and from the same session.

 The result is a new head ;-) and a improved(?) composition.
 This is the first time my hands have become dirty from working in PS.
 So I would really appreciate some comments on the result.

 Whatdoyuahthink?
 What about the photoshoping, anything I could have done better or different?
 Does it look real?
 And is it an improvement? Or could I have saved me the trouble?

 A lot of questions, but isn't that what life is, questions?

 Go on, laugh and make jokes on my expense, but if you do, you also have to

 Seriously. Isn't it real English to use anals as short for analects?
 My spellchecker says no, but it is very limited. 
 

It sounds as though it was looking up anal. Perhaps it should have looked up
annal instead!

Thank you, Kenneth, you're a gentleman.

I seem to recall a thread a year or two ago about mountains named after  
breasts - Grand Teton, Pap of Glencoe, Grandes Mamelles - that sort of  
thing.  But are there any named after bottoms?  If not, there should be  
(IMPO of course), though perhaps there is a logical problem with calling a  
top after a bottom.

I have done a makeover on the Aristocrat in red picture.
http://www.foto.no/cgi-bin/bildekritikk/vis_bilde.cgi?id=228580
This is a sandwich of three different exposures, all from the same
standpoint, and from the same session.

The result is a new head ;-) and a improved(?) composition.
This is the first time my hands have become dirty from working in PS.
So I would really appreciate some comments on the result.

Whatdoyuahthink?
What about the photoshoping, anything I could have done better or
different?
Does it look real?
And is it an improvement? Or could I have saved me the trouble?
(The original is at a thumb below the picture for reference.)

Tim,

I like the original better.  This one is too dark, and
for some reason it makes the color unappealing--it
reminds me of Philadelphia air on a really hot, sticky

RE: PESO: Remake - Aristocrat in red

2006-04-03 Thread Tim Øsleby
Marcus. I did read your post. Don't worry, this is not a crappy lens...
this is something different. It's a spin off idea.

You say you strongly dislike this photoshoping. That's strong words, I'll
give you credit for that ;-)

I assume you dislike it out of ethical reasons. 
I should confess; I have mixed emotions towards it myself. Generally
speaking I am against heavy manipulations. I do like the idea of being true
to the original capture. The problem is where to draw the line. I may have
crossed it here, I really don't know. Partly that's why I did this. I think
it is kind of silly to reject something you don't know. I needed to
experiment a bit to explore the possibilities.

I have to debate a bit with myself what image to use in the bird project.
Right now the purist in me says this is a deceiving lie. And, the less
conservative part of me says this is not really a manipulation, it is the
same spot, same background, nearly the same time, and all I really did was
to change the position of the head. 
I may also end up rejecting both versions...

But, I did not do this to start a list debate on the ethics. I simply needed
to see what could be done, and the effect of the final image. To see, if the
changes gave it more impact.
On this, I have made up my mind. I now know what composition I will make,
_if_ I go back and redo the shot. 
While writing this, I also believe I have made up my mind about the ethics.
So this rant post has had it's purpose ;-)

 Hi Tim
 Maybe I misunderstood you but what has all this photoshopping to do with
 your original bird project?
 I strongly dislike the way you have choosen here and hope you have read my
 last post ;-)
 greetings
 Markus

 I have done a makeover on the Aristocrat in red picture.
 http://www.foto.no/cgi-bin/bildekritikk/vis_bilde.cgi?id=228580
 This is a sandwich of three different exposures, all from the same
 standpoint, and from the same session.
 
 The result is a new head ;-) and a improved(?) composition.
 This is the first time my hands have become dirty from working in PS.
 So I would really appreciate some comments on the result.
 
 Whatdoyuahthink?
 What about the photoshoping, anything I could have done better or
 different?
 Does it look real?
 And is it an improvement? Or could I have saved me the trouble?
 (The original is at a thumb below the picture for reference.)
 
 A lot of questions, but isn't that what life is, questions?

The anals of an embarrased photographer, part 127 (Was PESO: Remake - Aristocrat in red)

2006-04-03 Thread Tim Øsleby
I had another look at the remake I submitted yesterday. 

And, now I am embarrassed by my lack of judgement. It is not total crap, but
it sure is very muddy looking. 
Ok, it is crappy. I did ruin it. Just consider it a sketch that left office
by accident. 

When doing the sandwich my mind was in single track mode. I was obsessed by
getting the puzzle bits together, so I kind of forgot to look at general
picture. 

Besides being muddy, it also had a big dust spot. I saw that, but simply
forgot to do something about it. Not an unforgivable sin, but I'm not proud
of that either.

The worst thing is that I can't claim to have been drinking and
photoshopping. 

Go on, laugh and make jokes on my expense, but if you do, you also have to
give me a warm we all do mistakes hug.
(I really don't expect any of those hugs, I know you are evil people and
will do whatever you can to rub it in ;-)) 

When you are done, I will have another go at the motif, waiting for the
right moment, trying to get it right in camera (if the bird is still
there).

Do we have a Subject Line Hall of Fame around here?

If so, I nominate this one.

I think it is much better.  Nice work - EXCEPT - the white line around the
bottom of the wings and body has to go!  Not sure how it got there.  If you
can't get rid of it by changing your PS technique then go to 400% and clone
it out with a small brush.
