February 2025 - Night Light – Turn day into night
Original
About the Image(s)
Workflow: After rendering the image in BW using NIK Silver Efex, I used the LR radial grad and brush tools to create the light from lamp and building. It took some experimenting to get a semi-realistic rendering.
Camera: 590nm Canon 5D Mk II, 180mm Canon f4 lens at 80mm, 1/20 sec at f8, ISO 200, 1 EV

Interesting creation. I'm not sure that the IR did much for the picture, but I like the final version very much. Posted: 02/01/2025 20:12:20
Aria,
I agree with you re lack of IR content in the original. I thought it would be interesting to see if I could transform it into a night scene.
Thanks for feedback

My apology Arik for mispelling your name - using my iPad was a handicap

Interesting seeing this right after Henry's, definitely day and night!
Good job with rendering the mood of a night image, Emil. The light from the lamp, not being in the original, took some work, good job! It could be even a tad brighter. There's a heaviness to it overall, but if you brighten it too much you'll lose the night feel. Posted: 02/05/2025 00:06:05

That you derived this noir image from the original is quite amazing. You fooled me. The light from the lamp is realistic. Thanks for experimenting. Posted: 02/05/2025 01:33:44
Hi Emil,
Wonderfully creative. Camera noir! Whether or not IR added to or was needed is beside the point, given the creative addition of light and darkness. Posted: 02/05/2025 12:47:32

Well done, Emil! It's not obviously IR, but I find IR brings out tones that are lost in a conventional image so it probably made a subtle difference here. No suggestions. Posted: 02/05/2025 16:34:03

Beyond creative Emil You have proved my photographic idea of taking something ordinary to create something extraordinary Well thought out and worth the work you put into this. Posted: 02/11/2025 15:03:10
