Some day an admin of Pixls.us will ban me for having posted too frequently in the Play Raw category so many mediocre photos. But I can’t resist.
In this take we are in Padua again, date-time the afternoon of one month ago, around sunset. DC-LX100M2 was in my pocket. The water of the canal was flowing like smooth oil, the warm light of the dying sun was filtered through a layer of bland haze. I was over a small bridge, young people all around me voicing loudly and taking photos (probably a school class visiting the town). “Wow, I’ve already seen this in Internet!”, one of them said. “Me too!”. Their juvenile enthusiasm was unexpected and heart-warming to me.
I’d like to look at your developments over this photo. Feel free to express your competence and your creativity.
@paperdigits Thank you for your reminder. Duly noted. To be honest I scaled them to 1080p in the beginning, but i gave up because almost nobody does it so I started to think that a close up viewing was desired. The JPEG is compressed at 95%. Next time I’ll compress at 85%. Is it OK?
A quick edit over breakfast to test out the response time of DT now I have OpenCL working. Faster at least. Diffuse or sharpen really tests out the response time of any computer.
In this edit I wanted to brighten the shadows as I feel my eyes would have perceived. I used tone equalizer and two instances of shadow and highlights softened with the bilateral filter. I also used the sigmoid module for experience as usually I use filmic.
Lovely image. I thought that adjustments would be superfluous when I saw your version, but as usual my version is quite different… for better or worse! Possibly a little heavy handed as seems to be my usual style.
An atmospheric photo, thanks for sharing.
Two interpretations in GIMP, done very quickly. I’m not sure which I prefer.
I may return to this image and spend a little more time on it.
