Hier I though once more that the dimmed colors, the snow, and the whol scene in general would be good for a lazy focus and an artificially aged look. It seems to work for me. Not perfectly but better than my previous attempty. Any comments and ideas on that would be very welcome.
Hi Nick, if my input is a Salad or not, If I have half Knowledge or even less, and whether you like it or not,there is a photoshop filters, and the photographers are increasingly buying and using them,and yes they do correct most of the bad things. and just for knowledge there are a plugin too. and the professional are using them ,and recommends them. if you still deny PS,filters,and the Digital,you will be alone at some station,and all other will bypass you by enormous distance, as for your choices,it is up to you,was and will be. my best wishes, cheers. Saad.
If you really had comprehended you wouldn't write all this salad of mixed up half-knowledge, but I give it up. Of course, aged look has to do with the age of the depicted object, ey? And of course a PS filter will correct everything. How strange that no professional at all would pay attention to that.
Now, leave me in peace with your second hand "technical knowledge" that would make any professional photographer smile, OK? Keep on your filtering and arbitrary reasoning and just leave me in peace with that.
I have already looked at that shot ,and if you could see my comment I would be pleased,I have told him about his out of focus image,that he deliberately made to create a foggy day,and he was succeeded, as for this shot of your you do not need to make it old by your lazy focus,it is already ancient ceramic big jar,it is enough to take a focused shot for it and it will look aged ,because it was an already aged one, and if you do not satisfied with its aged focused look,just apply some filter at PS,to have the look you want, cheers. Saad.
Thank you very much for the input, Jacques! You will smile now, but I also though about slower shutter and less DoF and shot some this way too. Soon I'll be posting them here. But your next idea about fast shutter and narrow DoF sounds additionally interesting to me. I really have to try that too!
Saad, lazy focus *is* manual! Very very manual! You just focus in such a way that everything stays outseide the perfect focus range. And of course the T70 does not have any auto focus at all.
So, now that we cleared another too quick statement out of "impression" rather than of solid knowledge, we proceed.
Why the lazy focus? because as I saud I wanted to get that aged kind of look.
Whay I wanted that aged kind of look? Just because! This is what I wanted and so this is also the general frame inside which I expect ideas, comments, suggestions. I don't say that I wanted to get a "marvelous" image as you or somebody else may think about "marvelous". I said that I wanted it look be aged!
Now, this seems to have succeded only partially, and this is why I would be happy to know of any ideas in order to make ot better in *this* way. BTW, take a look at http://www.usefilm.com/image/1540159.html and tell Visar that he shouldn't use lazy focus.
