photos taken with a hoya red 25A filter.
dramatic skies? yes. but i still need to do a LOTTA contrast editing to actually get it that dark. and in the process foliage gets lost to the darkness too.... a yellow filter would perhaps be perfect, mostly preserve red to green and cut off blue and violet. but yellow filters are quite weak, only like 1-2 stops difference at most. definitely not enough to darken a sky more than the land. but.... what if... hmmmmmm...
wratten #12, #15, or #16. all long-pass filters. meaning they drop light below 500nm, 510nm, 520nm respectively. they're quite weak yes but subtract blue and (almost) only blue... what if . i stacked like 3 of them? maybe 4? i dont think id have to worry about vignetting cuz crop sensor. there would probably be awful internal reflection hell unless the filters were coated. but.... could it lead to... the advent of the analog version of the revered CRUNCH style https://streak.club/p/52899/crunch-by-999999999 https://streak.club/p/53026/we-can-crunch-harder-by-999999999 ???? probably not! but it might look cool!
and that finishes what we started back in october. there's various other photoshoots i've been avoiding touching but I think I'm ready to get em done now.
coming back to this shoot with a better idea of how to edit it
more year old photos
redgraph can really be foul huh
without a prominent red in the scene getting the balance right between the two shots is very vibes
what is a redgraph? it's one photo taken with a red filter, one with no filter, then the difference between the two becomes the green and blue layers and the red one is the red layer. then a little bit more editing and voila, it's horrifying! for extra fun i took a buncha redgraphs without a tripod so everything has that anaglyph 3d eyesore to it!
its like a trichrome without the tri part?? it's a less-involved and more loose version of a thing I did nearly a year ago: https://streak.club/p/56991/trichrome-by-999999999
image #3 with bouba has some masking stuff going on to bring out midgrey detail in the environment but still keep her fur contrasty black and white im proud of the result
