Title: [Theme] impressionistic images
Post by: HCS on January 17, 2017, 11:40:57
Inspired by Jakov's thread "minimalistic images", i'd like to start one for impressionistic images, following wikipedia's description of impressionism: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impressionism [Mods, i couldn't find a similar theme thread. If there is one, please remove this one]

I'll start this off by adding one of my images. It's some cloud pattern over the coast of France. Could have been in Akira's "clouds" thread, but then i decided to harass the image a bit by bringing it into Aurora HDR and pulling the HDR sliders to the max.

Hope you like and please share your impressionistic images.

Found another one from Norway. It's less minimalistic, yet impressionistic. Not in the least because of the low Mp body that was used (D2h).

[EDIT]: hmmm ... it comes out a bit less impressionistic than i pre-viewed on my screen. Alas, let's not take the rules too seriously  ::)

Used on my Arca-Swiss F-line 6x9 technical camera .... A fantastic lens, by the way.

A dangerous subject to capture as one needs thin fresh ice ("black ice") to get an idea of the submerged parts, but such ice easily breaks :(
Title: Re: [Theme] impressionistic images
Post by: Bjørn Rørslett on January 20, 2017, 17:14:41
Sometimes, even the spring ice can reveal fascinating scenes. Here are decomposing pads of the Yellow Water Lily (Nuphar lutea) thawing out of the rotten ice. This kind of ice is utterly unreliable and it is folly to walk the ice as it is liable to break anywhere one least expect it to crack up. Hence I had to use a long lens (200/2 AFS Nikkor + TC-14E') and focus stacking to get my shot.

In strongly acidified lakes, the primary biological response might be a massive proliferation of thread-like algae.  Amongst a lot of ecological ramifications, these algae might act as a diffraction grating for incident sunlight. The phenomenon is plainly visible in this underwater scene with diatomaceous algae and pads of hybrid Yellow Water lily (Nuphar lutea x pumila).

A Sycamore (Acer pseudoplatanus) shaped by the steady, relentless wind from the sea.

This tree is probably one of the most frequently photographed in the whole country, thus making it hard to come up with a non-trivial picture of it. This is probably the one of many taken by me over the years that pleases me the most.

'Dead Lake' (Dausjøen) is the favourite amongst my nearby lakes for sure. It is situated in a depression in the bedrock and little light illuminates the dark brooding surface of it during 7-8 months of the year.

There is no sense of true scale here, thus your claim is understandable.

In reality we are looking at a tiny patch of the surface, probably less than an A4 sheet of  paper.

This thread has been a great tour of many interesting minds.  My contribution is a now-hackneyed subject, but given a lurid-but-fading 1950's Technicolor treatment.   Bonus for seeing the "face" just above center.  55 Micro/3.5 @ 3.5
EDIT:  Oops, I forgot to downsize the pixel dimensions.  It survives the file size compression, probably because it has so little fine detail.

Hello, everyone! Greetings from Arizona. This is my first post, I think.

This picture was completely unexpected. It is a backlit cholla cactus shot with a Skink Classic Pinhole on my D800 (clearly resolution overkill). The sun is a little above the frame, and I suspect the colored streaks are from sunlight diffracting through the pinhole.

I kind of like the picture but can't imagine a use for it (and my wife certainly wouldn't want it on the wall). But, it is definitely "abstract" so I thought it fit in here.

The Skink Classic Pinhole is nominally 45mm f/150. It is really nicely made (in Germany), but I haven't really gotten the pinhole knack. Has anyone else played with one or something like it?

And apparently it is also exceptionally good at revealing junk on your sensor.   ;D

Keith, this is fantastic!  Double exposure of focused and out-focused image?

In plus out of focus, doubled in the camera's processor using the 'Image Overlay' feature in the D800 Retouch menu.  I just discovered this feature:  It creates an new NEF file, and has a way to control the density of the two components and see a small preview before creating the merged shot.

Jaanco, you've created a hot, almost cheerful rainbow-ey shot of a Cholla.  Maybe something like the last thing one would see out in the desert backcountry just before passing out from heat exhaustion.

Thanks for the disclosure.  Apparently the function has been implemented in DSLRs for some time.  D750 has the function that merges up to three images automatically (even with the exposure adjustment).

Pluton, I should have used an even lower perspective to really pull that off. I will try again sometime! 
The good thing about the pinhole is there is always room for it in the bag.

   Dreamy indeed. As Colin says, superb with an excellent open space feeling. Calming and endless.

Many thanks Hans - my contribution is no match for the recent dreamy and imaginative images from Richard, Paco, El Sid and Jack (.. I need to get myself a kayak!) but it's a fun challenge and one gets to learn more about impressionism :)

Well, fitting the bill is better than footing the bill. Lucky that these  are mediocre bills because such a large number of outstanding bills could lead to insolvency  ;D ;D ;D

Me too. 

Actually I have been to this lake myself - a very nice location.  Often heavily populated with rowers and Kayakers, so nice to see anglers in this image.

Nice scene!

Thank you Hans. Two days ago this scene had the anglers removed and some rain added...Winter is coming early!

Hugh, are you thinking of Wendouree? This is in the same neighborhood, it's Moorabool Reservior where rowing, kayaking and (shhhh!) wading are all verboten!  ;D ;D
