The Winter That Wasn’t So Far
Funny how time changes viewpoint about a year ago I posted another image of this stream. At the time I looked at the contact sheet I liked the image [feb 10] better think I was more drawn to the reflections. Last year I printed this image which gives equal creative value to the winter trees and the dark contrast of the water and ice. Ah but looking back this image is B+W and the other Color Digital and the immediacy of digital was creeping in on me. Now with a darkroom a year later I printed the B+W. My photo of cold built with triangles and Negative space. enjoy pjc
Light Color B+W Digital What Does Meter See?
So on my almost daily walk to get cookies I come to my poppies, not mine really but a great subject when in bloom. I am shooting with my camera set to B+W with a RAW color file but it is Digital B+W I am focused on learning. I make a couple of exposures, but not liking the contrast my mind drifts to film. Film I’d use a filter to pop the contrast. This is without filter.
I add a Red 25 filter meter and shoot. Image is way underexposed say 4 times or two stops. Check meter and am given the same reading. Open up two stops for the filter factor and get this image. Now I really wonder, it is my understanding that the digital sensor makes a mathematical calibration of light that is not seeing light as film does. Does the sensor not see the different colors? The affect of the filter is very similar to use with film the bright orange poppy is lightened while the green in background is darkened. Which is exactly what I wanted in this back light scene. Something to think about and experiment more with. Both images worked in PS but just to resize and burn dodge. enjoy pjc
