Szimpla Kert, Budapest

Processing Play Raw
1

It’s been a long time since I have posted a raw here.

In december 2022, I want to Budapest, Hungary, for a short vacation. I was brought to a very cool place, called Szimpla Kert, one of the most famous ruin bars of the city.
It’s a particularly cool place for ‘urban’ photography.

Here’s a raw for you to play with:

The camera I used is a Fujifilm X-T3 with a Samyang 12mm f/2.0 NCS CS lens.

First I thought I just make a colourful edit like this:

But then I thought such a surreal place deserves a treatment which makes it it look even more surreal:

Thanks for providing this file. A nice addition to my test-images collection as it has so extreme colors and clipped hightlights with various light sources :slight_smile:

I made it a little higher on luminance and sharp so that all details of the colourful background become visible. This is what I achieved in RT

Good shot of a very nice place, Sébastien !

My version in ART.
A bit of Tone Equalizer to control the highlights, Soft Light and Haze Removal activated with their basic values and the Film Density CTL script applied as well.

@sguyader, Really remarkable highlight reconstruction. Let’s find out how you did that.

Another take, edited in Gimp using a modified version of my old filter “Illustration look”.

My version. A little less psychedelic and more simple.
