The Highs & Lows of image correction in digital photography
October 23rd 2006 01:48
Today I'm in bit of a playful mood!! No, no not in the way you think but playful enough to experiment in an entertaining way with the digital photographs. Altering them to convey different meanings... to trigger your thoughts and to make you ponder over your creativity...
Decided to run my experiment in three distinct ways. These experimental photos are created using iPhoto software by altering the components such as gamma, saturation, contrast, brightness, sharpness and sepia.
For those of you who would like to try these by yourself, I have given the % of variation that I have used for each of the component mentioned.
This is how the original Photograph looks like..... I’m using it to create the following images…. A work of Photo-Art!!
South end of Melbourne city by Yarra river
Scenario (A):
Gamma (0%); Saturation (100%); Contrast (100%); Brightness (0%); Sharpness (0%); Sepia (0%) and the end product looks like this…!
Scenario A : Sample Photo
Scenario (B):
Gamma (100%); Saturation (100%); Contrast (75%); Brightness (50%); Sharpness (100%); Sepia (0%) and the end product looks like this…wow a night time image…!
Scenario B : Sample Photo
Scenario (C):
Gamma (50%); Saturation (50%); Contrast (50%); Brightness (50%); Sharpness (0%); Sepia (100%) and the end product looks like … mm… pretty impressive uh!
Scenario C : Sample Photo
Well, if you are also planning to hold a photographic exhibition like me in the near (??) future… try presenting it with a little difference... ‘A grand feast to the human eyes…’
If you too have created some piece of Photo-Art like this, feel free to upload it on to the post… After all the pleasure is in sharing!
Keep those creative hormones in you kicking… till the next!

I am all in favour of using modern digital cameras and photographic techniques. The advent of Photoshop and many other software packages for the professional and amateur photographers the speedy access to editing and adding special effects is great but in some respects a bit clinical.
I have been professional photographer and was trained in the “traditional” aspects of photography the use of chemicals to develop and print from film to make colour reversal slides movie films, monochrome pictures. Although the “old days” of chemical photography have to the most part gone, I guess I do miss seeing a print come to life in a tray of photographic solution.
I still have most have most of my Hassablad cameras and lenses they have served me well.
Seeing the photographic scene evolve over the past 4 decades has been exciting, most of the “old” traditional methods still apply to digital photography and I am fortunate to be able to bring the training and experience into the digital realm. I still enjoy taking photographs using a mix of film and digital equipment .
Whether using traditional film or digital cameras enjoy the artform go capture that moment.

I took over this blog from another, obviously we approach our tasks from different perspectives,
but this is his/her work not mine.
That photographer has departed.
I well understand the message you send and to each his own and to each his moment.
I'm sure you'll be happy to learn I purchased my first book on the Planets recently, so maybe you'll be seeing a little more of me. I haven't had a chance to look at it much but I was fascinated by the patterns and colours and thought it might be useful for my computer art, but my prime reason for its purchase is the devotion you demonstrate.
Thanks for the visit.
