Beyond the postcard

New lens, plenty of random images, just to try the new toy.

This one is from today. Nice motif, bad light conditions, so what?

Basic scene-referred workflow. I tried to preserve haze in the distance and reduce it just in the foreground, to emphasize volume. To do that, I used a masked color balance module instead of haze removal, which results I don’t like that much.

I tried to take your theme a little further - emphasizing the haze. Filmulator and then GIMP.

@gadolf Also tried to dehaze the front buildings only. Selectively dehazing is an interesting exercise.

Masking is by no means perfect, but you get the gist. My signature rgb curve overuse, as always. :face_with_hand_over_mouth:

Second try. With more focus on the clouds and even more haze removal.

Great shot, and thanks for sharing. Mostra um pouco da distopia que vivemos aqui no nosso país…

I chose a slightly warmer mood, because I can only imagine how hot these days must have been in Rio!

saudações,
antonio

Obrigado, @Antonio.guerreiro Pois é, o Rio é a cidade distópica por excelência! Pessoalmente, não consigo mais restringir-me apenas às suas belezas (que são muitas, sem dúvida), sabendo o que está por trás delas. É um bloqueio mesmo.
Folgo em saber que a língua portuguesa (e o sotaque sul americano) está por aqui também (e que estranho redigir em português neste forum hehehe).
E boa versão a sua.
De fato está quente, mas não tanto como seria de esperar nesta época do ano. Tenho cá para mim (teoria de botequim :beers:) que o aquecimento global tem vindo a derreter mais o gelo da Antártida, inundando o nosso litoral de água fria e, consequentemente, tornando a temperatura mais amena. Uma falsa sensação de que o aquecimento global não existe.

@Jade_NL I liked a lot your vintage postcard! Nice work!

@Zbyma72age nice and clean edit, good.

Thanks to all others!
