It’s a challenge going to the streets and asking people to take photos of them. I had luck with this sweet girl, who was surprised with my request but gently allowed me to do some shots. Even more, she kept the pose that originally attracted me.
It’s not as sharp as I would like it to be, either because of wrong settings, poor lenses or the photographer, I don’t know. But it still pleases me.
Darktable 7 workflow: WB → Exposure → Denoise (using @rawfiner’s channel denoise, here) → crop → haze removal → filmic → tone curves → levels → sharpen.
it could well have been the case, but I doubt it or else we should certainly see some water falling from the wall, given the high temperature of that day
I insisted twice on that, but she gently refused so. I think she didn’t like the pictures when I showed her
Nice challenge! I would never dare asking a stranger to take the pose. Bravo!
Here’s my take. I used a ‘local lab’ build to try and create a pseudo shallow DoF / lens blur, and used a custom HaldCLUT for the color and lights toning.
Sorry, I was unclear… I did not use locallab, I used a parametric mask on green hues (for the background, plus a couple of other masks to try to emulate a progressive defocusing of the foreground)
No plans I’m afraid. I just don’t have the time/energy to perform the needed polishing to get this merged. Plus, it would probably be subsumed by locallab, which is being actively worked on.
