Overlay Digital Filters

Using a digital cutter filter in Irfanview
using overlay mode gives some strong effects.


I have just discovered that a Google Image search
links this photo to the following message:

"Image may be scaled down and subject to copyright"

I have no knowledge of who decided this and since
it is against the spirit of my blogging style,
I remove this link on

at 21h42 by my computer clock.

Neopan and Texture

Neopan 400 iso is worth using for close-up texture of
flowers and natural history subjects.

I was advised, in the past, to use a yellow filter with
black and white film, but in this case I decided against it.

The clarity is still better than applying a desaturation
effect to a colour photo, I think.

Cowhide

The original photo of the herd of cattle showed the golden hide of this breed.

The desaturation made for a cooler image, in every sense of the word.

Hibiscus

Some flowers appear artificial and
benefit from enhanced saturation and
some work in Picasa to enhance petal veins
and stigma.

Desaturated Image, Bringing Out Texture

This fine herd are a lovely golden colour in the original photo.
Somehow, desaturating the image makes for a very clean and detailed
effect.

Dull Day in the Garden

400 iso is ideal for taking photos on a
Dull Day.
