For the Love of Colour (color) Photography

Couldn’t find a dedicated “post your photos here” thread for colour pics, so here ya go
I’ll start it off with this:80357

And

There was just something extremely aesthetically pleasing about this clock


Edit: sorry not sure what’s going on with the clock being there twice…

Let me share this one:

Welp. I’ve exhausted my back catalog. So here is a pic I took the other day of a great blue heron.

Sadly, still no good zoom lens available to me. :/

[INeedAFinancialAdvisor]

80448

First shot that I’ve scouted and planned in advance.

Found the spot 12 days ago. But had to wait for the leaves to turn.
Two days ago, driving by i saw the leaves were good and the light was good but the sky sucked (cloudless and blue) so i noted the time for good light

Yesterday the clouds were decent so i arranged to be in the right spot at the correct time.
I think it turned out mostly the way i was hoping.

[christof]

Thanks to the OP for starting this thread!

Recently I had the opportunity to visit some very old industrial sites. Fortunately I had my camera with me:

Alternate crop #1

[calamus]

@ INeedAFinancialAdvisor: Wow! Wow wow wow. I love both of them, but I (totally subjective) prefer the "Alternate crop #1" by far, probably because the whole scene is so gorgeous that I am delighted to be able to see more of it.

[calamus]

@ christof: The Ziegelei Schüring, Münsterland DE industrial site photo is absolutely gorgeous. The way the light falls on the stacked pallet and the wheel and whatever it's mounted on creates a very painterly effect, almost like a still life. Very effective, very beautiful.

Alternate crop/version #2

[calamus]

What does the entire, uncropped photo look like? (Inquiring minds want to know.)

[calamus]

Let me share this one:

https://live.staticflickr.com/5771/22761920660_0286626765_b.jpg (https://flic.kr/p/AFoMZW)Saint-Malo (https://flic.kr/p/AFoMZW)

I really like the way you depict the play of color, in this one and in the automobile "green period" oeuvre.

[INeedAFinancialAdvisor]

What does the entire, uncropped photo look like? (Inquiring minds want to know.)

They are three separate photos. So i suppose “crop” is not the correct word. Perhaps “shot” would be more appropriate. All three were taken at the same place at the same time (obviously) but then all three were edited similarly but not identically. There is a crop applied to the first version. Its actually a wider pano but i felt like the extra width did not improve the photo and in fact made it less impactful.

[calamus]

Ah.

[INeedAFinancialAdvisor]

Sorry to disappoint :/

Was going for a mysterious “ooh, I wonder what’s over there in the light!?…” kind of feel. I don’t know if this entirely works… I feel like it’s lacking… something…
thoughts on what I’m doing wrong (or right) are welcome pls and Tks.

[Yazeh]

I really like it. Though it's more like the light at the end of the tunnel...I love those gorgeous maples.... ours is starting to turn red....

Haha! Film is BACK!!!
Well, I'm dusting off my beautiful ol' Mamiya 645 Pro Medium Format camera and forsaking the 'too easy' Nikon D90 digital.
It seems, (like music sound recording) that the wheel has turned, and 'we' are loving REAL film again. It's comparable to using a REAL fountain pen instead of a Biro.
C'mon kids... lets do real film again!

While i appreciate film, as stated previously; film just ain’t in my budget.
Good luck with the mamiya. They look like beautiful cameras.
But for me at least, things will remain digital.

Absolutely gorgeous. Have you considered removing the telephone wires in Photoshop? I find their presence a bit jarring.

Tks.
Yes. I have tried using Photomator . It went poorly. I may try again using an ancient (CS6) version of Photoshop. Sadly I do not have the money for a newer version as Adobe’s pricing is (and always has been) extortionate

[INeedAFinancialAdvisor]

So i tried with CS 6.
It did not go well

Looks like we will simply have to live with the hydro lines and reflect on how modern life is sometimes jarring in our appreciation of nature. :/

Edit:
Hangs head in shame….

Just noticed the huge pano stitching error in that pic. Ugh. Ill see if i have a better stitch…


Edit2:
I do. But it’s a different crop and doesn’t feel the same. FFS… ugh

[INeedAFinancialAdvisor]

This one is ok.

Still bummed about that stitching error. I may try and stitch it again. But it’s such a PITA…

Did you try the clone tool? I've used Photoshop since v. 3 (the first version with layers), and always had very good luck with that tool. CS6 shouldn't be a problem.

No. Tried the heading tool. There is only so much time and effort I can/will dedicate to an image as I have limited time available as well as issues concentrating on a single task for extended periods of time. Not to mention my ancient super out of date computer that makes everything harder and take 5 times longer than it should…leading to a great deal of frustration

[calamus]

I took the liberty of downloading your photo and removing the telephone lines. Would you like me to post it? Or delete it? Whatever you prefer -- it's your intellectual property.

BTW, this whole series is just gorgeous!

[INeedAFinancialAdvisor]

Please, share it. Thank you for the effort!

I’m glad you like the photos. We moved here in August from an area dominated by flat farmland. The colours of the leaves here are amazing. We keep saying it’s like “Vermont light”. Vermont is like this place, but with the knobs all turned to 11.

That said, the colours are now past peak and starting to turn brown. Soon everything will be white. For months… and months. Oh well at least now there’s lots of crown land to go snowshoeing and explore (there was no crown land anywhere near where we used to live)

But the change in landscape from the move has required me to learn how to frame completely different scenes from our old place. And I was just starting to get the hang of that. A “photographer “ I am not. I’m just a guy who really likes beautiful scenery and struggles with trying to capture the feelings it evokes.

I’m really glad you like the pictures, it’s beautiful here and I’m trying to capture/share that.

[calamus]

You are a photographer, and a good one.

Anyway, here is my stab at removing the power lines with the clone tool:

Thank you for the compliment.
But honestly I’m just lucky enough to be surrounded by easy targets.


And wow. Nice work! Great job getting rid of the power lines.

[calamus]

Thank you, but in fact, I've used Photoshop for about 30 years, ten of them as a professional graphic designer. (I'm now retired.) So I've had a lot of practice. I 've removed probably hundreds of power lines in countless photos for advertisers.

[INeedAFinancialAdvisor]

I Donno why but I really like shots of roads and paths going off into the distance. Promising adventure?…

I'm sure there are excellent images throughout this thread, but something about the rendering on this site makes them all look poor. I'm a good photographer, and I use a 32" monitor at 4K. I process images in Lightroom and Photoshop. When this thread first popped up I looked and decided I wouldn't post any images here.

If you really like color, you might want to look at a gallery I curate at Flickr, other photographers' images, not mine. It's called "The Sound of Color."

"In 1666 the first color wheel was invented by Sir Isaac Newton, best known for his theories on gravity, motion, and light. Newton used a triangular prism to split a beam of white into a rainbow, proving that light is composed of a spectrum of hues – ROYGBIV. Newton believed colors shared harmonious relationships with one another and went so far as to assign musical notes to each hue."

Wow. that is some knock-your-eyeball-out super-saturated color. I wonder if part of the reason these images don't "render" the same is because they're using a more muted, earth tone palette. Let me try an experiment, and post one of the photos from your curated collection here, and see if looks dull and lifeless or not.

This is by Capitan Jax:

What do you think? Looks pretty juicy to me.

Here's another one, by Judith Jackson. This one really knocks me out. Looks like it could have been painted by Vlaminck or Derain:

80615

[INeedAFinancialAdvisor]

I think the reason he doesn’t like my pics is simple:
He has a 32” 4k monitor. And I seriously downscale the pics to like 1 or 2 megapixels before posting them.
So yeah. On a 4k monitor? They’d look like crap.


That second abstract water reflection pic is amazing.

Experiment for Bill

Here it is in full 32MP glory

Edit: which somehow got shrunken down to 2mp…
I donno why. i specifically uploaded a 5mb 32 MP version…

[INeedAFinancialAdvisor]

Weird

Ok. Let’s try another. This one should be 18 MP…80634

And just based on the size the file is showing, i already know it has been downsized…

Weird
But this is a fountain pen forum and not a photography showcase…

[joolstacho]

I'm still using even more ancient Photoshop CS3 ! And it still works well. There is a very good application called Affinity Photo. The equal of PSD. (I have no connection at all) that is cheap... to buy not rent.
I'd kill the wires in that context. Dead easy to do.

80743

[INeedAFinancialAdvisor]

Neat tractor!

[calamus]

When I started using Photoshop in 1992, it was the first version to have layers! (PS 3... not CS 3!)

[joolstacho]

Me too Calamus, though it was probably Photoshop2... And Coreldraw1 was the thing to have, -blew AI into the weeds!
Plus venerable Pagemaker - remember that!
Tractor is a bushfire victim.

Ah. Tks. That explains the tire situation. It had me scratching my head.

[calamus]

Photoshop 2 didn't have layers.

But Pagemaker... :stop: :tsk: :boom: I still have nightmares about it. Trying to import a Pagemaker file into Quark or InDesign was insane. The only contemporary equivalent is when somebody sends a Word graphics file and wants you to do anything with it. Only Pagemaker was worse!

[Cyril]

Wow .. Photoshop 1 / CD/ Zip disks / Floffy disks/ Palm writer/ Coral draw. Apple Aperture are my nostalgic vintage stuff ...

Now the photoshop sucks. It is 200% AI Photography. Of course Photoshop is a digitising Pixilation programme from imaging. But. But.. for me It is now nothing to do with main creativity regarding images from any medium of camera negative / sensor based image capture to a Screen or prints.
I am a photographer and still use PS Creative cloud. But what I am using/ employing is just the same simple manipulations I did used during long very First Version of the PS.
My first Version was a borrowed version of a cloned copy from a friend. I guess I continually used it up to date. But I never "photoshopped" my photography. It was just used for occasional resizing and A LOT OF SPOTTING , for some removel of minor distractions.

Now the present PS is on a Daily/ weekly/ monthly/ annual transmutation. which I think is utter nonsense. As a result PS is a very greedy software which needs more memory/ Disk space plus/ more updated Graphic cards. It is impossible to use comfortably unless you are ready to advance your hardware . That is due to its Silly upgrading of million of software connected to Creative clouds. Ex. If you subscribe to Just one single programme. PS only, You don't have an option but need to get the Creative cloud APP which is having Millions of other Useless apps for you. So THE CREATIVE CLOUD IS A HUGE SHIT ..The problem starts there. IT IS HOOKED TO ALL GOOGLE SPY WARE PLUS ALL MARKETING SHITS. FORUMS AND CROWD CONNECTIONS AS WHATS UP CULTIURE . NOW ADOBE HAS created ANOTHER CROWD connection/ Programme called Adobe max.
I had change my Older I Mac to a better faster Mack and it was because of the PS. Now I use PS 2020 version only as I don't want to up grade My Mac OS to the Latest version . I have stopped my Mac Os On to a Last line.

So this is how the consumerism works.
You have to drop everything and change into the next one THEY PROPOSE.
It start with the photoshop.. Adobe was the first Cooperation who introduced SHITTY CLOUD CULTURE. THEN Apple joined the club . Killed all the music/ CD / records / Killed all the books . there come many things on the agenda. Now diesel cars/ And soon it will be the Petrol cars/
Aeronautic industry will be next and it will be last for Electric but not the anti-gravity. What is next.... Your wife or husbgy must be upgradable ... your religion must be too upgradeable and it is a necessity. Well we are in a new normal world. YES IT IS FUN.
Sorry if have kidnapped this thread and it is on photography. Yes I am still looking for my photos in my SHOE-BOX >>.:agree:

[Jon Szanto]

I'm no photographer, but I did catch some colour recently. While in NYC for a concert event, we had time off, taking a lovely back to and from the Museum of Natural History via Central Park. At the museum, we got a ticket for one of the special events, their live butterfly house. It was remarkable (and hot and humid!) I looked down at one point and simply snapped this shot with the phone.

Same shot. Different edit. Not sure which I prefer

Thoughts? Which do you prefer, and why?

[joolstacho]

Thoughts... Well No2 has enhanced contrast. The more subtle misty soft contrast of no1 is not quite misty enough, if it were more misty the softness of the tones would be very nice, but it just looks a bit 'soft' without having the atmosphere a very misty shot would have.
So I like the slightly sharper more contrasty look of no2.

[Yazeh]

I prefer the first one. It's more like a painting, evokes a sense of mystery. The 2nd one is too sharp, too 4k or whatever the is the k now [emoji846]

[Brilliant Bill]
