#77614 Which post-processing software do you use?

Posted by OldNikonUser on 18 February 2022 - 09:48 PM in Post-Processing, Printing, and Scanning

I use PS & LR CC 2022. Been using PS since late 90's. I load all photos into LR and do a batch auto exposure on all. This give me a quick OK starting point. I then evaluate and if I feel it's something to share I'll take the original NEF into PS. I've tried other software for PP and have found them pretty good, just don't want to take 6 months learning another program.

 

That's my 2 cents worth.




#77577 Tossed salad anyone?

Posted by OldNikonUser on 16 February 2022 - 09:21 PM in Abstract and Artistic Effects

105mm f/2.8 Macro, 1/160sec @ f/11, ISO 200

Pluto infrared Trigger & 3 speedlights set at 1/128 for for stop action.

This was a fun project. I built an electromagnet controlled Catapult. When the throw arm crossed the light beam it triggered the camera.

#77483 Alternative Photography

Posted by OldNikonUser on 11 February 2022 - 11:38 PM in Abstract and Artistic Effects

Anthotype photography is an image that is created using photosensitive organic materials, The 2 images shown were coated with Crushed Blackberry and beet juice. Mary Somerville was the inventor and one of the first photo processes used to create an image on paper.

The process is fairly easy. Crush blackberries with a mortar & pestle than add a little denatured alcohol. coat paper and let dry. Place an object, you can also use a negative, on the coated paper. The developing is done by the sun's UV light. You'll need a clear sunny day or UV lamps. Set your project in the sun and wait several hours.

This is a print-out process, meaning that anything covered will not be developed by sun's UV rays.

The only drawback to this is the prints won't last, Maybe a year or two.

 

Hope I didn't bore ya'll to much and thanks for stopping by.

Steve

#77481 Three primes

Posted by OldNikonUser on 11 February 2022 - 09:59 PM in Photographic Technique

The wife and I visit a new state park almost every week-end for walks, never an over night, to buggy. We use a FE, D750 and I've found that I use a 24mm f/2.8, 50mm f/1.4 and a 105 macro f/2.8. If I need to get closer or farther away, I walk.

Thanks for the comments. I myself lean towards the B/W.  A couple of suggestions was that I add a 40-60's tone look and turn on the neon sign.

So, Here's the re-mix.

#76668 Hello from Mid-America

Posted by OldNikonUser on 10 January 2022 - 08:27 PM in Say Hello!

Name is Steve. I'm a want-a-be amateur photographer that loves to experiment. I've made photograms on grape leaves and used blueberrys juice for anaglyphs photos. I'm in the process of making my own 4x5 camera using a 3D printer to create the frameworks (more later on this project). I shot with a D750 and FE and develop all my film.

OK!! Nough for now, see around the forum. Have a fantastic Photo journey.Dino on grape leaf.jpg
