Super action shot, Marc. Ignore the irony of a "sports" category being the most somnolent group on TME. This is just a great shot. I wouldn't change a thing about it, perfect world or not.

| Today @ 11:43am | | Flo, sounds like you need a refresher session with Mark Johnson! I'm sending an explanatory email along with the PSD file I used to your t-b-t email address. With that file in hand and more detailed instructions (destructions?), I think you'll quickly find your misstep. Apologies in advance for any PC vs. Mac discrepancies in my descriptions. |

| Today @ 11:35am | Thanks for the info Wes,
I was thinking that you had to be pretty low - I had not seen this angle before - I really like the camera position on this one.
Kind Regards,

| Faux Split Toning | Today @ 9:06am | Happened upon a new effect which I like very much. I have a Fujifilm FinePix S3 Pro IR/UV camera body, which is a limited edition made primarily for law enforcement. It's no longer made and was on the market for only a few months. It's very heavy and uses as its shell a Nikon D100 or 200 body. But the innards are strictly Fuji. It does take Nikkor lenses, tho.
Since this sensor is especially sensitive to infra red frequencies, Fuji did not put a filter over it to block most IR. All digital sensors are sensitive to IR, so the manufacturers place this filter over them so people can shoot normal color. But with this particular body, I have to use a special visible pass filter to shoot normal color images.
When I shoot for infra red, I shoot in color mode, rather than B&W, because I get more pixel info this way. But the images turn out to be pale magenta without much contrast, so need some pp.
Here is an 8-image panorama shot in color mode. I did increase the contrast.

After I converted it to B&W, I was dissatisfied with the distortion - the level of the lotus pond isn't level, lol.
So I went back and redid the pano stitching and then had to rotate it 4 degrees counterclockwise. The foibles of hand holding, lol. Then I had to transform>warp it considerably. It's much better, but I'm still not totally happy with it.
1. I used a Selective Color layer. I moved the sliders until I got sort of a warm sepia feeling. A Brightness/Contrast layer was next. Then I merged the visible layers.
2. Next I created 2 duplicate layers.
3. For the top dupe, I applied Filter>Stylize>Find Edges. Then I moved that layer UNDER the other dupe layer.
4. The blend mode that produced this effect was Luminosity.
I like it because it gives the image much greater depth and also resembles a split toned process, but to me is a little more interesting, due to the hints of other colors.

I'd be interested in hearing how others like or don't like this effect. And yes, I KNOW it has waaay too many details for the minimalists among us! LOL
Nikkor 50mm 1.4 lens. F/9.5. ISO 400. EV -3 (because I didn't remember to check it before shooting). |
