Title: [THEME] Green --- color of life
Post by: Frank Fremerey on July 09, 2016, 08:42:52: 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!

I still love your shot. But we cannot play the same league as "THE BIG GUY"

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...

Post by: Bjørn Rørslett on July 12, 2016, 00:11:33: 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.
Title: Re: [THEME] Green --- color of life
Post by: BW on July 16, 2016, 09:19:35: 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..

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.

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.

Post by: Frank Fremerey on July 21, 2016, 20:05:39: 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.

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).

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.

I like my greens saturated. Sometimes it takes some searching before I find such nice vivid and saturated green in real life. :)

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.

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.

Well seen, nicely processed, I like it. I've always wanted to visit Aravaipa Canyon. During what season were you there?

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.

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.
Title: Re: [THEME] Green --- color of life
Post by: John Geerts on August 18, 2017, 22:49:44: 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?

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.
