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!
it doesnt look like this at all in person
the dither goes silly on this one (first image dithered gif second image jpg)
dead end of mall. behind a fairly busy intersection. we sat on those little tables staring forward at the plastic wall for about an hour. many passersby were confused, concerned, scared, or just plain amused. we didn't really mean to commit to the idea for so long it just sorta happened.
28mm 2.8 manual focus k mount its capable of being p sharp
surprisingly few of these left unedited in the backlog. i take this exact shot so often. i'll prbobably figure out a place online to put them all next to each other someday
the final product is nothing what the preview window looked like. experimenting with masked sections of posterization and sections of dither
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
