My S100fs - Tem Duan ...

Dumb Blonde · Dec 12, 2008

Waffe, thank you. I can't take full credit as the background is the result of the post processing phase. This was shot with the Fuji S 100fs.

Isn't this fun!

Okay, now I'm getting stoked to go out and face the blustery winds of winter for a moon shot.

Nice shots, Kim. I too prefer the stacked version. That version is 'over the moon'!

at least I tried. There is a lot of inspiration to be found in this thread and because of such, right now I'm freakin' cold!!!

... Cool. Looks like mine did before I sharpened it.

Do you think it's too noisy? I ran a noise reduction on it, and it made it all blurry.

Also, this was shot (amazingly enough) in Aperture Mode. It's the first time I haven't used Shutter Mode for night shots. It was cold; I was rushing.

Thank you, Dave.

... Mine was shot full DZ and I reduced noise slightly. I then used USM at (about) 30,30 to give it contrast and sharpness.

Can't remember exactly, it was very late here.

I would recommend that you shoot moon images without DZ. Although the S100fs has probably the best DZ available, letting the camera do the cropping is effectively magnifying any noise and aberrations before you can intervene. Much better to do that task in photoshop and preserve all the detail you get.

Thank you, Dave.

Would you consider posting the original? Or emailing it to me (email is in my profile.) I got a nice version created from yours, but was unable to get rid of all the jpeg artifacts ... they ended up spoiling it.

Well, I did a bit of post processing, but at this point I've looked at it too long to give an honest opinion. LOL! I must try again tomorrow.

Sure will. I'll send you an email. The JPEG artifacts are indeed troublesome.

I just posted a pp'ed version, but I'm still learning in that area.

And thank you for your help.

That version is not realistic, but is fascinating nonetheless ... it gives me the 3D impression of thin sheet metal that has been impressed with tools ... very cool.

... I actually shot one in DZ and one in Raw. Not really any discernible difference. Have to use the tools we have.

Next time, consider RAW so that those jpeg artifacts don't interfere. Otherwise, I think you've got a nice capture here.

Fantastic photo. And shows a lot of colour too.

I do remember seeing a composite like that before. Just can't remember where. Thanks for the link too.

I noticed that heavy noise reduction pulled color detail out quite well ... so I thought I'd try Topaz on one of my images. Denoise did not work because there isn't much noise at 400 ISO ... but Topaz Adjust has a "mild color pop" preset that I thought might be interesting. And I think it was ...

Dave,

Would you try it when you have a non-full moon? I'd love to see what
the s100fs gets when the craters start the show some shadow.

Here was my first ever attempt at a moon, with the S100fs back in April. A bit soft I thought but I was pleased enough.
