I can't just like her photo stream without thinking more. Obviously she uses heavy photoshop or whatever other digital effects much. But in such a nice way, so creative.
The first time, photographing looks as freely creative as drawing. It answers the call of your mind. No limitation.
I have to reconsider about rendering and effects.
Well, I used to prefer no much PS work. The idea is simple, you should not cover it up, you have to see what it is and then improve photograhing skills directly. It is something like, to exclude other facts, simplify the problem, isolate the issue, and solve it.
On the other hand, as sebastel said, no, it is lazy, it is not so serious to the final result.
Now another light shedding in. With admiration to IrenaS, I realize I didn't regard digital effect high simply because I never see the real dramatic result of it before.
It is because actually I never know these skills well. Ah, with it, you can put so much persional view, attitude in. Is that wonderful?
Again, whenever you look down upon something, it is just because your own ignorance. (or say, too simple, naive. :D)
Finally it is a technical issue. Techique in how to digitally process/adjust the image.
How to? How she achieves that? Ignorant.
The start point for this style is one so so picture with title of 'This is my firsrt HDR photo.'
I see 'HDR' often on flickr. I thought it is Heavely Digital Rendering or something alike.
But no, it is not just PS. It is very interesting. The way people trying so hard to break the limitation of camera! The way to make picture so close to what your eyes really perceive, and beyond that. No or little color/shade missing as long as you like and do it right!
FAQ-High Dynamic Range
This page is easier to understand:The Future of Digital Imaging - HDR
See, this is exact answer to my constant complain of information lost in photo. ;)
BTW, now I see why quite a lot of people soooooo prefer B&W:
'Color negative films have less dynamic range (or "latitude") than black and white films. My understanding is that the multiple layers and dies in color film result in reduced sensitivity. '
It is still on the same path to break device limitation.
--------------
| just to help with finding information about HDR - often it is also called DRI (dynamic range increase/improve). sometimes it is quite an interesting approach, but sometimes it also makes pictures look "artificial". limited dynamic range has always been a problem n photography, but, while chemical film can reach up to 12 stops dynamic range (especially B/W, but colour negative material is not far from that), digital photo is still limited more, but can compare to what slide film. sensors that are known for pretty nice dynamical range are the recent fuji sensors (like in fuji cameras pro 2S, pro 3S and now pro 5S). and, actually, colour does not automatically reduce the dynamic range, but it is a different method of picture rendering that may lead to a different inpression of the overall dynamic (you should compare the single range area of the b/w pic to the three single colour channels' range, instead of the range of the picture that is composed of all three channels). postwork in programs like PS can be well compared to darkroom work in the chemical area. if you were happy with drugstore darkroom quality (machines processing your negatives automatically), you might be happy with the JPG pictures your camera produces directly. but if you want to "get the most", you need to invest more time, and i can tell you, PS is more convenient compared to a "wet darkroom". by the way, i still detest the overload of cheap effects many people do in PS postwork (like they did in the wet darkroom in older times). my goal is to represent what i see ... but then, maybe other people see the world in those effect loaded way? til soon, sebastian |

| 'artificial' is a nuetral word, right? The result can be good, can be bad. It's means, not ends. The mechanism provides possibilities. What makes it good or bad, is the idea you want to express, the way you ilustrate it with the right artifice. Yes, I realize actually darkroom is just exactly PS. In darkroom they also can do the 3 color channels. exactly the same. Only darkroom feels more like a skilled craftman, with hammer, bottles,or nipper...whatever. At first I always wonder how Brassai can be so good. Well, the answer might be, he's more a very good technical person in the wet room than an artist as imagined. It's the same, when you get a tool for example a pencil, you can draw nasty disgusting picture, also can draw masterpieces. Like this one, it is purely artificial, but very good:  Will you won't you will you join the dance? -by estrella So now the problem is, how to use my dear pirate PS software well? IrenaS uses it in a good way, before that I only see bad examples. O, I found a good set very pleasing, BW version:  Farewell to California Summer Well, not exactly all BW set. :P |

| true, "artificial" look may be just what is what the author had in mind. and again, all the craftmaship (here more in the digital way, but it is just the same with the chemical process) by itself is no use, as long as there is no idea behind it. maybe that was the problem with the HDR example i had in mind. well done in a technical sense, but either there was no meaning behind it, or i was just missing it? well, anyway, i may not be the right audience for highly polished pictures of polished BMW cars ... so, i do not see a conflict between your and my opinion :-) hope to update my flickr in short time. depends on the quality of yesterday's results. soon!

| Em, I am so eager to express that HDR is not a bad thing because myself just recently change the opinion. So I advertise it hard. :D Before I always think, those polish things are crap. Now suddenly realized it is not the 'polish' makes it bad, but the persion doing it in a wrong way to express cheap ideas ... See, somebody does it right. ;) Ok, see your pictures later. |
