Pix for the Week Ending December 2nd to 4th, 2022
1

Hello Sigma Shooters:

2022 is winding down fast and winter weather is already here in Denver. Time for our weekly show and tell about images taken with Sigma cameras and lenses. Remember the drill, you can enter up to 3 images and it would be helpful if you give you post a title so that comment will be directed properly.

Now go out and shoot some pix and have fun. Members in the northern hemisphere try to stay warm!

Enjoy!

Found a DP3M jpg (sorry, not quite perfect) output from SPP, from 2017, applied some Rawtherapee exercise to it.

Re: Frost

Hi Ddavid...nice series. The first is exquisite at 100%. The third,  I would crop and show the top right portion.  Also I oversharpened it to bring out the frost and it worked well.  Withe Topaz and Adobe SR you could double the size of your crop.

My monitor is a 55 inch model 1 LG OLED TV screen modified for photos with help of Peter Michaelec.    You should print the first one.  DP3M rocks.

Thanks for your comments Rick.

I've been playing around with that first one.

And yes, I often upsize the images before printing. But I don't have enough wall space to show all the big prints I've made :-((

I agree with Rick, David - that first shot is special.

Thanks.

As I said to rick, I’m trying to figure out what to do with it. All sorts of variations, nothing that jumps out to me.

Maybe even exactly how it is. I know that sounds like heresy.

Might I ask a stupid question:

When I looked at other brand forums such as nikon , most pictures are set as EV=0, obviously this depends on situation. But in Sigma camera forum, most posted pictures are set EV as negative, so I am wondering is this because Sigma camera tend to make colour brighter so we need reduce EV?

I know this is situational, but again, this is my observation

Thanks

I don't know about other peeps, but in this case (frost), the highlights in the ice crystals were  close to being blown out at EC 0. This was a focus stack and I had maybe 10 minutes before the sun melted the ice, so no chance to examine the images carefully and re-shoot.

Frosty Leaves, Re-imagined

After fooling around with the original quite a bit, I decided that I liked just a bit of alien color:

This is down-rezzed; with the added color the full size was way bigger than 20 MB.
