Green is the light of the sun
Green is the beginning of the food chain
Green keeps Oxygen levels at 21%
It is Green or death for all life on earth!
Go take your camera and sing praise to the Green in Sea and Land!

And with Nikon liking green so much - ....
I was hoping this image will also sell into the millions.... sadly it hasnt.

Elsa. A"Rhein II" mockoff from Southern Afrika? Dunno. The Dusseldorfer School is very arrogant. And "Rhein II" has a geographical historical and graphical advantage.
I still love your shot. But we cannot play the same league as "THE BIG GUY"

But we cannot play the same league as "THE BIG GUY"
And thats very unfair.

And thats very unfair.
It was meant friendly. I love your shot.
The quality Grursky has is connectedness in a way we will never
achieve. Beuys. The Bechers. All the others. We cannot compete.

hahaha Ya Frank I know - what I mean is - It's unfair we cant play with the big guys. I mean we should be special too :)

We are special, but ... a world renowned art school featuring some of the best artists in the canon of the "Classical Modern" epoch will look down even on people from the second best school.
That is to make sure the access to the real meaty meat is limited to the very few with access to that group.
Let's get back to the GREEN THEME, please...

Different shades of green in an early morning.

interesting ... we can spin this green topic in many visual directions .... from clean and clear to dirty and spoiled ... I've taken a lot of city green today ... first one cleanm and clear from the garden

Yes, indeed. Glad you started this thread.
Two more shades of greens on the urban materials.

Great topic idea with many many options ;)
Green- with water and light

This is a great idea and images, Frank.
Some spectacular images already posted, Akira's minimalism, Elsa's million dollar image, and John's delicate blur circles.

Great thread idea. I like your opening shot, Frank.
Elsa - that's indeed a million dollar shot.
The urban closeup shots are superb Akira, especially the second one.

Thanks Jakov and Anirban. This was shot with the Df and the 200/2 AI

A bit of green from Paris... :o
Jacques' photo makes me want to go to Paris.
Shot many years ago at my friend's house in rural Kerala. I actually felt there was so much life amongst those tropical trees.

Some more Monsoon green . Well, Green is everywhere in the Monsoon including the mould on my leather shoes ;)
Sony a7II, FE90 f2.8 Macro handheld. Probably a better, more interesting angle but raining too hard to go find it ;)

Jakov and Anirban, thanks for kind comments!
Green, is also the colour of hope...
Francis, did you use that special white balance?
-
Wonderful. I love you. Great entries. You make me very happy.
super texture contrast, jakov!!!
the 2/200 in your hands is pure gold, John!
love the exotic entries very much. A journey in pixels! Thank you Anirban and Tom!

Human eyesight has evolved in a 'green' world and most of the spectral sensitivity is concentrated in the corresponding narrow range of greens. No wonder our digital cameras are set up to record 50% of their pixels in the green (if a Bayer matrix device is used. which includes the vast majority of models these days).
I have all the greens ever required in plain view already from my favourite audio listening position. Only fitting to snap a frame now and then.

This is wonderful. Zen like.
We need more green to survive. 10 billion humans need ten times the Photosynthesis just to breezze and eat
that 1 Billion people in 1800.
Because we burn photosynthesized fossiles we even need more. Yet today less Photosynthesis is conducted currently.
Plant ! Plant ! Plant!!!
I suggest a robot army planting planting planting. Supported by a steering committy of Biologists testing soil
designing Ecosystems that manage themselves over time.
-
The ecosystem seem to respond to the milder, wetter climate and the excess of CO2 at my latitudes. Any open area which is'nt clearcut or grazed, disappear in a stunning tempo. So does the glaciers also, here represented by the Engabre at Svartisen in late june this summer. The lowest situated glacier in Europe. Hope its green enough..
-
Børge: Yes, there is hope in the deep wisdom built into the self regulating ecosystem of our planet. And we DO know so little about its workings.
This is a wonderful shot. I wish I was there. The landscape is so tall and wide. In Germany everything seems to be so small and tight.
-
Børge, I really like the colours (many) tones and scene. I really want to get back to Ladakh and Kashmir but the situation in Kashmir is pretty iffy >:( . May have a job in October but we shall see. Not photography, lousy pay but great perks ;)
This was shot from a moving vehicle with D700, 70-200 2.8 G vr II, not much green and no place to pull over :(

-
Not to imply that we should do nothing and put all our money in the compensating effect of the ecosystems. We should do all we can to cut emissions and find a way to store CO2.
Tom, I sure would would visit your part of the world sometime. The open space combined with the rugged peaks and dry vegetation gives a me a feeling that the people that inhabit these parts, might be the tuff and resillient.
-
Great shots Børge and Tom.

Fons, i really like #47. Very nice scene and nicely rendered.

You always find a way to incorporate, rather than exclude manmade structures into your landscapes Bjørn. Impressed by the way you make them not seem like alien objects. You really inspire me.

Nettle green

I am touched by #48. Wonderful. Thank you. Fons.

I found a meme called "building integrated agriculture" ... google it!
I am currently building such a structure.
Only humans in touch with biodiversity will love it and protect it.
We will have to integrate buildings agriculture and wildlife.

Thanks Anirban! - and the same to you for the rain in Calcutta!

Exploring HDR Efex Pro - the original came out somewhat flat.

A birch ... got some chestnut too, but , heck, where are these shots?
Don't worry Frank - those Birchs can stand alone and are lovely :)
-
Thank you Lars.
HDR is always very near to overcooked.
Try to add some structural contrast to the now dominant tonal
contrast....
just for the idea. Quick and Dirty on my phone...

Thanks for the suggestion Frank.
Overcooked.. I guess that's not something one wants to be associated with - image wise.
Do you find my attempt overcooked? I tried not to push it too far and thought I'd get away with the result :)
I like your attempt - whether it's overcooked I cannot say. I'll look into structural contrast in stead - my idea was to emphasize the Oak tree in the intense green light and structural contrast seems to be the right approach.
-
I did truckloads of HDR shots. Sometimes panoramas sometimes single shots from the tripod.
My aim is to mimik what I see and what the camera cannot show without a little help from her
friends the algorithms in a computer.
So I use HDR to extract the brightness and the darkness the structure and tones my current best Camera
fails to reproduce. With that result as a starting point I then try in a second step to balance tonal and structural
contrast in a way that appears to look natural.
That is my idea. My comment. Noone needs to follow that path.
all the best. Back to GREEN...

Thanks again Frank - very useful comment and much appreciated. I'll find my own path ... with a little inspiration :)
So, back to GREEN - here is a green path ;), once more created using HDR Efex Pro and this time with a "structurized" preset. I hope it turned out to give a "green forest sensation"... my mind says it was something like that I experienced but ones mind has a tendency to be more vivid than the dull truth (so I ignored the "natural look" a bit).
-
In this shot I like the intensity, the "glow" ... I do not really care whether it is "natural" or not ... the "glowing forest" is something I did experience...
-
Exploring HDR Efex Pro - the original came out somewhat flat.
This is a good go at the old problem of accommodating the extreme contrast of the sky/tree area while creating a pleasant, realistic look in the lower contrast area of soft, flatter light under the trees.

Life, standing in green, warm moss, jumping into an ice cold creek and exploring the undulating nature of a untamed river on a glorious day.

Beautiful. The Twins, the girl, the dog. Wish my kids had more contact with their natural environment and
less with the similarly fascinating virtuality...

Cezanne is reported (by Gauguin) to have said "A kilo of green is greener than half a kilo". By which he meant that large areas of a colour should be made less pure and less bright than smaller areas if they are to look similar to the eye. So, my preference would be for slightly less saturation in these pictures where one colour is dominant.
Part of the reason it is hard to photograph the vivid colours we see is that they are partly due to effects the human visual system is subject to but the camera is not.
The Purkinje effect is the observation that as light dims the peak sensitivity of the retina shifts towards the blue, so blues and greens look brighter than reds and yellows, which is why ferns in the dark hollows of forests always look vividly green.
For the eye, increasing luminance increases perceived contrast (the Stevens effect) and colourfulness (the Hunt effect), and also affects perceived hue (the Bezold-Brucke effect) so that blues and reds become more vivid. This is why transmitted light has a special quality - as the people who put the stained glass in the Sainte Chapelle and the other medieval cathedrals knew; folk old enough to have looked at large format colour slides on a light table will also be familiar with the effect. This is also why sunlight transmitted through leaves overhead looks especially vividly green to us, but not the camera.

Thank you Frank, Armando and Anirban. Those shots were a small selevtion of what I photographed over the past 3 years, since I first met my muse, woman I love and mother of my first and only child, Kristina.
One might say, I found a 2nd spring the day I met her.
Here however are afew recent photos, taken in what I refer to as my back yard. Northrhine Westfalia. The land without hills.

Some rain has arrived but do not think it is the Monsoon yet. This was more to test the Batis 135 f2.8 than getting a great image ;) (but I do live shooting small birds in the Bamboo) . I am not convinced by the AF accuracy of the a7xx series in hitting the point where I want the focus. Any of my Nikons can nail single point as can the Olympus bodies.
Buddy, very nice selection and some darn great images.
-
Tom: I love your shot. It gives me a sense of wetness and a freshy smell
-
Tommie, that's a lovely shot. I like the rendering, processing and sharpness as well as the composition and the dominant color :)
-
Frank and Buddy, many thanks. Different lens, and closer could have been in order but trying to work out how good the 135 2.8 is. Yup, the monsoon has arrived. Time to venture out with the jeep for some wet "Street" and Green landscape.
I have to make a decision on Voigt VM 50 1.5/Zeiss ZM 50 1.5 and two copies of the Voight 90 f3.5 APO Lanthars pretty quick. Buyers for all ;)

The D500 is a great camera. Took me some time to learn post processing the files. Took me no time to successfully use her to satisfaction. Still figuring out the AF system.

Can you guess the wild fruit, can you guess the wild fruit?

Woodley. Looks like something in our botanical garden. I guess it is an unripe nut of some kind

Frank, I first heard the fruit called an Arkansas banana. Up here in Maryland, and other East Coast states, they are called a pawpaw. This is early in their season...late September they will be ripe. Very good eating!

Thanks Buddy! It was shot with an old Minolta 50mm standard lens that needed dusting - realised I should make more use of it.
-
Lars, you nailed the bokeh and the color nicely!
Here's my take shot today.
-
It's been raining nearly every day since spring here in Vermont. Gunter Grass once wrote a poem about how green Vermont is, but this year the green is greener yet.

Not-so-subtle green from a wonderful overnight hike up Aravaipa Canyon, Arizona. D800.

I was going to look it up and then realized that I had the date in the filename! May 5th. Call it late spring in Arizona. The water level was quite low, which isn't a bad thing since the creek is the trail for the most part. The picture of my friend was taken on the second day (i.e., on the way out); it had rained overnight upstream and the water level was a little higher and much muddier than the day before. The second picture is a reminder of what flash floods do in that canyon; the bark is stripped off the tree to over a man's height.
I would not recommend hiking the canyon in July or August.
It was a wonderful trip.

Mine was Df - 85/1.8K, an old lens from 1976 by the way.

Df does justice to the old gems. Your image is another good example for that.
On GH5, I select the "Cine-D" profile for the widest possible dynamic range and customize the saturation, sharpening and contrast to the lowest value. I raise the contrast (+15), clarity (+10), vibrance (+15) and saturation (+10) of the posted image in CC2017, butt the color in the untouched image tend to be pretty much saturated.
-
Thanks for the explanation, Akira. The Panasonic sensor and lenses tend to be pretty saturated and on the 'blue' (or cool) side. Is the the Dynamic range improved compared to the earlier GH1? And how do you feel it compares with the D750?

The pliability of D750 RAW file is far superior to that of GH5, of course. But I have always been impressed by Panasonic's metering technology to stuff the dynamic range of challenging scenes into the humble 12bit losslessly compressed RAW file from m4/3 sensors on all the bodies I have used (even from the very first G1, through GH2 and the very "lowly" GF5 and GX8).
The dynamic range has been improved over the years, and that of GH5 is definitely the pinnacle of the series at this point. As mentioned above, the pliability is limited, but the quality of the straight-out-of-the-camera image is already pretty admirable, so I don't feel limited. The D750 RAW file offered the noise performance and the dynamic range a 1.5-2.0 stop advantage over that of GH5. But that is made up for very well by the excellent image stabilization and the minuscule shutter shock which enables me to stay with lower ISO settings.
The hue seems to be no more on the cooler side. The waterfall leaves image looks cool in terms of the hue, because it was shot in the very cloudy daytime. The yellow color in general is less cyan than that of D750.

The Panasonic green again. :) GH5, Lumix G 25/1.7 wide open.

Playing with a Lester Dine macro ring light (beneath the label of which lurks a somewhat more versatile Yuzo). A bit bright for some macro work, but good for chasing things with longer lenses, here's one with the old 200/4Q on 68 mm. of extensions. I probably should have closed it down a little further. Otherwise no processing except to downsize and sharpen a tiny bit to return it to where it was. I do like the look of that old 200.

An excellent frog shot. Ring lights look awful on people (my opinion) but do nicely for frogs, it seems.
