http://----/, all i did so far was b/w points out of the scan, nothing else done. here's my take on it:



a bit of white balance, sharpening (not as visible at this res but imo, necessary), and some contrast in the shadows.

Oh, sorry but it's one photo per week, to keep things organized and give everyone time to participate. Whoever wins the contest this week gets to pick one of their own images for us to process.

Yours would be a great entry for this thread, though!

oh i'm a dumbass and missed the contest aspect in the rules. actually it's not great and i'd have a more challenging one next time if it came to that

i played around with trying to use data from the green channel in the blue channel - using an overlay, mixing light modes, trying to see if i could pretend there was more detail in that channel. it was dumb.




here's a real stab, straightforward

Considered cloning out the horse and replacing it with the red bull buggy, but think we're still a few weeks off that

agreed but i look forward to the day

interesting trend so far is to straighten the horizon more, letting the horse run flat, at the expense of giving the horse visual room to run away in. the horse as an object vs. the horse as a character.

real nap poo poo is the only one beyond mine i really dig in terms of capturing the mood of death but it's cursed by the aspect ratio (but i still think it's the best)

here's a 4x5 negative, straight out of the scanner:

if you need any hints on how to get started, this video has the basic method:

the general steps: go to each channel, set the black and white point for each color until parts of the image clip, invert, and then begin the rest of the process.
