The finished result was definately worth all that doging and burning. I really like the idea of using the window to 'frame' the scene.

Thilo, thanks for detailed comment. You are right, DOF was not perfect. I missed to fix that (a slight tweak is possible with FocusMagic, very nice piece of software).

Hi Carsten,
I see a lot of work here ;-)
great idea with the window as a natural framing. I'm wondering if the levels of sharpness work together.... the landscape looks a bit too bold for me. anway, awesome work... you must be a cracy guy to do even the reflections ;-)
good work!
best wishes,
thilo

Terrific! You are tireless my friend. A technical wonder. This reminds me of one I did out of a portal on the Queen Mary in Long Beach harbor. I recall the challenges of the different lighting, which I also solved by combining images. It doesn't compare to your results, but I only used two with lots of adjustments on both. It's worth it. :) Antonia

wow, I love this. The soft warm feeling from inside and the great view on the mountains outside. Really a nice composition. I can imaging that must have been quite a task to get right, there are so many differen areas and edgest to watch out for. Excelent job. I wish the light outside was a little more interesting, but there is nothing you can do on an overcast day. One thing that looks odd to me is the water. It seems to repeat itself vertically and does not show any soft of reflection of the mountain in any way.
One thing that might be worth to try (and this is really just playing round) is to select the window/forground and lens-blur it out of focus. Right now the forgrounds seems to be slightly out of focus bit only a little. I have the feeling it is just soft while the background is razor sharp. (Does that make any sense to you?)
Again, please don't get me wrong, I really like the photo, it has a very good atmosphere and great composition and dynamic range.

Vielen Dank für die Info ! Dann wird mir alles klar. Darum finde ich es schon sinnvoll, möglichst eine Info zur Technik mit hochzuladen, damit der Betrachter das Bild auch unter diesem Gesichtspunkt werten kann. Mal eine naive Frage: Dias haben doch mehr Tonwertumfang als digitale Bilder (sagt man) - wie wäre es, mehr aus dem Dia herauszuholen, indem du zwei Scanvorgänge machst, einen für die Schatten und einen für die MItteltöne und Lichter und die Scans dann in PS kombinierst ? 8 bit/Kanal TIF sieht "strapaziert" aus, wenn man die Schatten versucht zu sehr aufzuhellen.

Hallo Carsten, Das Motiv ist ca.40 Jahre alt und wurde auf dem damaligen Agfa CT18 Diamaterial fotografiert. Bearbeitet habe ich es vergangene Woche mit Photoshop CS in 8 bit.Zum Verschicken wandelte ich die ps Daten in jepeg um. Gruß und Danke für deine Anmerkung zum Bild >Pastorale<. Dein Bild finde ich in der Gestaltung sehr ansprechend. Gerhard Gerhard

Hallo, Ursula: Die Reflektionen in den Fenstern sind "echt", nur etwas verstärkt. Es ist tatsächlich ein Bild, wo man lange braucht um sich zu orientieren (das Interessanteste am ganzen Scaliger-Museum in Malcesine, wo das Bild entstanden ist...)

Terrific work again! The reflections on the glass panels are great. The softness surrounding the window is in wonderful contrast to the sharp middle of the shot. Love it! Best Wishes Peter

Eine wahnsinnig aufwendige Technik,wie mir scheint...mit fantastischem Ergebnis.Die Reflektionen in den Fenstern verwirren mich ein bißchen..ich sitze und schaue..aber ich find es nicht:) Malcesine und gegenüber Limone...den Blick habe ich jahrelang sehr gut gekannt und geliebt...seufz...wir hatten mal ein Haus dort. Frohe Ostern! Ursula

Very good indeed. I think that you have really achieved maximum dynamic range with realistic result. This shows your excellent digital darkroom talent and patience.
Well done.
