affinity photo Ballintoy Harbour done in AffinityPhoto

[Loonaclik 10]

A fuji X-T1 raw file developed in Affinity photo.   Fantastic software and will be spending a bit more time with this I think.   

 

(I think I've finally got the uploader working...)

 

Screen shot of layers now attached.

Don't be snarky; it's of a snowstorm on a brilliant sunny day. Without 5 stops of exposure compensation it would've looked all medium grey; like this it's an accurate depiction.  ;^>

Or the front cover of Bel Canto's re-release White out conditions.

Ahhh, I thought it was a slightly overexposed closeup picture of a flash of a speed camera on a sunny day in the middle of Antarctica! Forgive my misperception!

=P

Amateurs! It is obviously an homage to a portion of Kazimir Malevich's 1918 oil painting White on White. How could anyone miss that? Jeez.

 

 

EDIT: Yes, Loonaclik, you have indeed got the upload to work now. (sorry about all the joking before :rolleyes: )  

 

A really clean image with good tonal range; are you going to share the adjustments done in the develop persona in order to achieve this for those who may not have worked with monochrome images much?

Amateurs indeed!

 

I had my money on the bottom left hand quarter from Robert Rauschenberg, White Painting, 1951. House paint on canvas, 72 x 72 in, four panels. 

 

Seriously, some of us only have primitive JPG cameras and would like to see the initial image sitting next to the developed/finished image. So apart from huge file sizes, what else is different?

@justwilliam

You're not far off... It's a white on white overexposed snowstorm in a bowl of rice digital composition with a nice b/w photo of Ballintoy Harbour layer multiplied over the top!

 

Well done loonaclik! Also sorry about the jokes but it was such a tempting opportunity! XD

hi Peter,

Thanks for that.  I attach a shot of the layers in The Ballintoy image which I hope will be self explanatory for anyone who's interested.   As you'll see, it's basically the application of the BW filter, adjustments to taste within that filter, and then a series of contrast grading curves layers (and masks) to adjust different parts of the image.

This picture...is coming alive, I think I can hear a swimmer/surfer climbing those steps, out of shot. Just like the Guinness: Surfer advert.

 

The bit where-the-hard-bits-meets-the-sea, combined with the darkened, imposing cliff edges, reinforces the fact that the sea is nobody's friend...dark, moody and always alluring. This is poster material!
