ehh not the happiest with the result but its something
colored using DT's colorize and split-toning modules
or polarized deltachrome? whatever we can just say words. saw ppl in #cool-pictures talk about the technique so here's my go at it. 3 shots with a circular polarizer at different rotations then composed as RGB. not the most interesting subject, but those cars sure can shiny! (i cant find my tripod so front porch shot will do for now)
somehow in b&w only one stripe shows on our trans flag and i dont think it's the middle one :O
cloudy day,
snap out the car window and snap of bouba.
split toning is kinda fun if a little freaky. makes her eyes look wrong (also minor posterization like effects going on? hm).
much to learn for post processing these shots. the K3iiiM captures so many tones it really feels like a challenge deciding how to compress it down to a jpeg.
not much movement in the scene, turned out less interesting than i hoped when i took the pics
art day
similar to the last one but 3 completely separate images composed as HSV layers. looooots of different ways to compose.
take 3 images, edit in darktable as monochrome, export all to tifs, gnu imp import all 3 as layers, color > compose using the layers as RGB, badaboom. an image where everything still is monochrome and motion shows up as color.
i took the 3 images using the pentax q's interval shooting mode at 1 second intervals so it would be perfectly still between shots. unfortunately it can only clear the buffer fast enough to take 4 images at that speed before giving up > . >
god i wish i wasnt so hardware limited.
on a nicer camera one could do a burst shot and get some very neat motion across the frames. you could go up to 6 frames if you color the extra 3 as CMY, could do 9 if you let every third be pure luminance. lots to work with depending on the kind of motion you want to capture and how busy you want it to be
edit image in darktable (1)
export as 16 bit greyscale tif, import to gimp, image > mode > rgb
create new image, fill it with gradients including greyscale black to white, go to the palette menu, import palette from that, sort palette
go back to imported image, select newly created palette, colors > map > palette map
your greyscale image now has colors inserted into it based on an algorithm i dont fully undesrtand (2, 3).
came across this tool in my quest for introducing false color to a greyscale image to cover grey tones lost in the export to 8bit jpg from higher bit depth raws. this doesn't end up doing that, but it looks pretty cool
