Frosty Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 Was going to print on hahnemhule German Etching but not to be. Printer giving me an error message. It is an Epson 11880.

HappyMartin Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 Something I know absolutely nothing about Just googled it - damn, that's does sound expensive.I assume it's a top, top, quality print?Yes that's a good quality print. I used to print black and white for people like David Goldblatt and Michael Meyersfeld. I'm a bit fussy about printing Captain Fastbastard Mayhem and Frosty 2

Wyatt Earp Posted March 23, 2015 Author Posted March 23, 2015 Of late I have been digging a bit deeper in to Lightroom and found some options to use especially to create a nice mood for an image or to get the desired colours and final finish I may desire .  Frosty, Wil6 and Gandalf 3

It then makes good photos even better. nazmo 1

nazmo Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 HDR is one of the most dangerous tools out there. Used properly, its merely meant to change an image from something a camera can see to what a human can see*. But in the hands of many, it gets abused to absurd levels. *Humans can see a stop or two more dynamic range than a camera. So when you looking at a sunset, it looks amazing, Then you take a pic of it and all you see is a great sky with very underexposed land.  HDR is where you take images at different exposures, and you combine them. Despite all this, do an overblown HDR image, post it on facebook, que a million likes, so what do I know
Frosty Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 I think stacking photos has a place in post production, for correcting minor problems or making a good shot better - but I agree, it's over use by wannabees is where it get's irritating. Anyone can take a photo, but few know how to capture a moment. nazmo 1
