 I think this is a terrific shot and is one I would be proud to have taken.

 I didn't analyze it quite so deeply, but after reading Darren's 
elucidation, I have to agree.


My first impression upon looking at it was that it's a very arresting 
shot.  I've definitely seen worse ones -- especially taken by myself.


I would definitely consider it a keeper.

 Or perhaps it's some kind of moire pattern from the capture.


I think moire is the word for what I'm seeing... it is only in the
steam ... pink scallopy edges in several concentric waves kinda...

I wonder if it is only something that shows up on a monitor and
disappears if you print.  But I do like the photo!

ann



scallopy edges in several concentric waves sounds like the kind of 
banding I often see in a digital image of the sky around a blown highlight.


Here's an extreme example of what I mean:

http://static.photo.net/attachments/bboard/00V/00VlQe-220307684.jpg

Deliberately extreme I think to illustrate the effect.

I'm sure there's a good scientific explanation for why it occurs, but I 
think it's because digital is only capable of discrete levels. There are 
not enough discrete levels in 8 bits to display extreme contrast; 
there's no in-between like there is with analog.


When the patterning is that extreme it will show up in prints.

But prints are to some extent analog because ink drops or dyes tend to 
spread a little bit and you do get some in-between levels. And if the 
banding is not severe the spread of ink/dye may mask it.


So, I guess what I'm trying to say is I think the moire will show up 
*more* on a monitor than it will on a print.


Usual caveats apply - wont be the first time I've munged it up.

I think this is something to do with the video card or the monitor. I don't
see the banding on this photo, but on a machine I used to use it would
sometimes happen that I would put a photo on the screen and see no banding,
but if it stayed up there a while the banding would appear, as if the
monitor or card realised nothing was changing, and cut down on the refresh
somehow. If I refreshed it manually the banding would disappear.

Please say you see it now :-)



I see it now. It looks like you're using a CGA monitor. My guess
is that you have your computer set for too small of a color
space, and that isn't allowing fine enough gradations in the
tones. Very reminiscent of the article someone recently posted
about noise dithering the signal so that this didn't happen.

Try going to your computer settings, monitor, and setting it to
display thousands, or millions of colors.

I went to 32 bit color in the windoze display settings... that did
the trick!  thank you! I had it set on 16...  don't know why...
I think it goes back to sometime when I or someone I knew thought if
you set the color rendition too fine it would look wonky on older
computers that couldn't deal with it. since I always got the colors
right and prints right that I made I didn't think about it but I did
reject some photos when I was voting in the Gallery because I thought
it was _them_ oh dear!

phew!


On a Windoze box, if the computer can't handle the color rendition it 
won't be offered as an option.

Doesn't quite do it for me Frank - the shot feels static, although you have

Something I had earlier seen in one of Larry's pics and couldt describe 
well ... it has little to do with
your photo as a photo - which  I like, but it is something that happens 
with digital captures and

processing that wouldn't have happened with film...

another thing is, when this happens, what does one do to get rid of it?

I think this is one of your best ones this year - captures the winter
mood perfectly.  The steam is not so thick that it hides basic shapes. 
My only minor nit is that I would have preferred the biker's bum not to
have been cut off.

I'm not sure about the 'streakiness' that Ann mentioned - certainly
nothing that I wouldn't have thought was just a natural variation in the
density of the steam. I'm not picking up any pinkish tones either. 
Maybe just as well I have an optometrist's appointment tomorrow :-)

I think you have two photos there ...

1. The cyclist on the right - cropped 3:2 with the left edge just to the 
right of the woman; lower edge just at the curb including the concrete 
band that edges the paving stones.


2. The woman in the center - cropped 3:2 from just to the right of the 
traffic cones to the left edge; lower edge kisses the edge of the gutter 
at the lower left corner.


The top half of the photograph doesn't contribute for me, although you 
might also find vertical crops from the two images.

I see what looks like sunlight and shadow streaks through the steam over 
in front of the cyclist.


There appear to be some streaks of wind-blown mist around the woman and 
what may be the shadow of something outside of the frame above and 
behind her.


I also see what look like fairly heavy jpeg compression artifacts around 
the front of the bicycle frame, the front wheel and where the cyclist's 
arms extend down towards where he's holding the handlebars.


Or perhaps it's some kind of moire pattern from the capture.

I have to agree. I looked closely at this on my two monitors, my 20 
iMac LCD and an older Dell IPS display which is my main photo-editing 
display. FWIW, these are both calibrated with a Spyder3Pro. I can't see 
any artifacts, especially anything with colour, in either display.


And I think the shot is pretty cool, too. :-)

I think moire is the word for what I'm seeing... it is only in the 
steam ... pink scallopy edges in several concentric waves kinda...


I wonder if it is only something that shows up on a monitor and

may be the shadow of something outside of the frame above and behind her.

I also see what look like fairly heavy jpeg compression artifacts around the 
front of the bicycle frame, the front wheel and where the cyclist's arms extend 
down towards where he's holding the handlebars.

Or perhaps it's some kind of moire pattern from the capture.
   



I'm not seeing those.  I wonder if perhaps Ann is running into problems from a 
low resolution monitor, or heavy compression for the bit per pixel of her 
monitor or something.  A lot of what she describes sounds like artifacts from 
overly processing jpegs where you end up with a histogram that looks like a 
comb.  Maybe there's some processing in her display system that has a similar 
effect.
 

It only shows up when I'm looking at something with a large area of ... 
um an area that lacks detail..  it shows up in all three browsers
I have (I don't use explorer .. but I checked it out in that anyway) 
Yeah, since no one else sees it , it must have something to do with
the monitor... So I'm going to take a picture of the screen wiith 
Frank's picture on it and post it on smugmug - stay tuned...

then tell me what to do to fix it lol

Well, yes.  Plain as day.  

I'm not seeing anything like that - no visible banding at all.  I'm also
seeing a lot more shadow detail on my display (eg. to the left of the
pole on the bottom left).

I don't have a clue when it comes to resolving monitor problems - but
I'm sure a few of the list gurus can offer advice.  



Cheers

Brian

Ann,
I don't see any pink but lots of banding in the fog.
