Very subtle difference but very nice!
Mmmmmm..... Gary..... It is a very old pic.... From 1976 (You weren't even born... mwhahahahahaha!) A slide in fact. And there was NO sky.... All white. I created one with Photoshop.... You know I like my pics very contrasted! *teehee*. And sometimes, I add some little details that are not really there... Cheating? NOPE. CREATION! My camera is only a tool. Like my brushes and my paint... I know you are a purist.... And you prefer unchanged photos. :))))) Different ways of seeing things. Both are correct. Like your version of my pic. Mine is OK. Yours is too. :) Thats the beauty of life. As Spock would say: " Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations".
Jozee: Subtle, indeed. Just some minor dynamic range adjustments to match how your eyes would perceive the scene.
MP: I was indeed born in 1976, and looking forward to the end of high school.
I may be something of a purist, but I'm not above a little photoshop to help out the camera: Contrast masking to increase the dynamic range; Unsharp masking to increase local detail, Gaussian blur overlay to mimic a soft-focus filter; white-to-transparent gradient masking to mimic a split neutral-density filter.
Unlike yourself, I have little talent for illustration. So no brushes and paint involved, just some math on the pixels.
Gary! I think you are talented! I hope you know that! You have THE EYE! And I think you understand all that techno way better than me. :)I am glad to know you use a little bit of photoshopping sometimes... And your secret is safe with moi... BUT.... (there is a but heh heh)... I think that perception is different from one being to another. Not everybody sees the World the same way. I'm sure of that! Damn! I have some difficulties to express what I mean. My English is not perfect. OK Lets just say that my way of creating is probably more intuitive than techno. Not sure I'm telling exactly what I really mean....:(
I understand what you mean MP.
MP, ton anglais est plus mieux que mon français. Et c'est vrai, on peut voir le monde en quelques façons unique, et chacun peut fair un vision uniquement artistique.
Comprends?
