This Monochrome HDR image is a Phone Friday shot. Even though I used my trusty Nikon DSLR, the nice folks in this pic are having their picture taken with a cell phone. That should count, Right!?!
Processing: Nine shots from -2 to +2 at .5 ev intervals loaded into Nik HDR Efex Pro for Tone Mapping. I used the preset called Granny’s Attic and did a few modifications for structure and contrast. In Adobe Photoshop CS6, I applied Shadows/Highlights for a smoother color/tonal blending and then did overall sharpening using High Pass filter. After flattening my layers, I moved the image into Nik Silver Efex Pro 2 and applied the Agfa APX Pro 100 film type preset and used a Selenium #4 toning and a Black Frame #1 vignette. Back in Photoshop, I applied a warm Photo Filter (LBA) at about 90%.
Equipment used: Nikon D700 with 20-35mm f/3.5-4.5 lens set at 35mm, f/8, ISO 400.
Nice sepia treatment Mark. Have a great weekend
Thanks, Len. Same to you!
I really like the treatment on this, Mark. Except for that vehicle, one would have no idea what time period this is.
Well done, sir!
Appreciate your comment, Jimi. I could have done some art work in photoshop to remove the vehicle. But, it wouldn’t be real any more.
Nice one Mark! I like the color toning.
Thanks, Denise. Some scenes seem to work better in sepia.
Nice treatment Mark, very vintage!
Thanks, Mike. That might be a reflection on me. Oh well.
Nice treatment, Mark! Shame about the modern SUV otherwise you could have very easily passed this one off as a true antique.
Yes, but the cell phone is another dead give away. Thanks, Mark.
