The Time Tunnel
« on: May 02, 2011, 11:17:34 am »

Thanks for taking a look !

Here are the basic stages on how the photo was made.

In-camera settings:

This was a camera mistake on my part. The camera rolled off a small log
on to the forest floor right after the self timer count (the camera is fine, D80 are tough lol)
and this is what the camera captured.

-Nikon D80/Nikkor 18-200mmVR
-1/10 second @ f/22
-18mm
-ISO 100
-Ev -1 1/3
-Vr off
-self timer 5 sec

Software editing: (Nikon Capture NX2)

-straightened the photo (as the camera captured the trees on a 45 degree
angle)

-converted the photo to black and white

-lightened (dodge) all the highlights in the photo that are natural occurring

-added tad of global contrast boost

-healed out any sensor dust

-added a blue Duotone tint by moving the WB whitebalance slider to
a very cold temp to add mood to the photo

-added a tad of global USM sharpening

-used the sliders in (levels) to set the final exposure

Take care,
Dwayne Oakes

You make your magic images seem as easy as "rolling off a log."  ;)

What a great accident (plus your expert PP of course).

These are the joys of being out there...no matter the serendipitous nature of the actual capture...you have an eye beautifully sensitive to the world around you on your walks, and the skills to allow us to see through you...always appreciative of the work you share here...this one is really fun!

I predict Nikon and Canon will start receiving lenses in for repair that somehow just "rolled off a log"...

This "accident" is worth being framed and hung on a wall.
Especially with the pp you did.
Good stuff and a funny story!

So how many cameras do you think you would go through to make a entire series of such photographs? Inquiring minds want to know.  :D :D :D
