Adhering to the forum\'s one rule \"FM Forum Rules Rules: One new topic per day\" I\'m today dedicating my one post to Post Processing Woos.... Since I\'m suffering from horrible Vertigo I can\'t go anywhere really & I can\'t ride my horse. I\'m bored stiff.
Now I don\'t consider myself up to par with people like Chad, Tim, Socrate & many others, but I think I do ok. But like all of us, I run into dilemmas every now & then. Mainly with Golden Light & the post processing tools I\'ve been taught. They seem to at times conflict Ah well
Now let me start by explaining - - I firmly believe in setting Black & White Points - I can\'t stand digital haze. I also can\'t stand Noise. And I also firmly believe in The Photographer\'s Artistic Creative View of a shot. I wanted to become a Cinematographer after all.....
That written - - here I will present 3 photos taken at different times by me. The processing will differ in a few different ways of each shot. The question - - which processing is most appealing? Well it will be individual of that I\'m sure. I won\'t tell to start with what I\'ve done to the different photos. I will tell when I\'m ready to Author\'s prerogative But I will let you all know - in time.
Chad & I have communicated in PMs regarding his Chad Action & his creative view. To quote Chad\'s final comments \"the action accounts RGB values from 250 to 255 and highlights them in RED, same for the Deeps in BLUE of 0-5\" and \"I feel it helps show more of a range, its hard to see detail in anything over 250 in the lights or under 5 in the deeps, anything in between is perfect \"
Now I was taught anything in between 0-255 in the Histogram is fine. So, just different \"schools of thought\" - - so here\'s my photos. One you already know - from the Old Man & the Sea series They\'re all shot late afternoon, not necessarily Golden Light, but at least starting...
I hope this will amuse you all
P.S. I should probably mention that it will probably be easier to see the differences in a darker room

and finally - - just for fun. This is a shot I took the day I went out with Stephen & photographed Cormorants. If I\'d set Black & White Points or done Black recovery - It would not look like this. But this is the way I like it - Artistic Creative Free licensing
