Your photo is exceptional. I like how the telephone wires frame it and the lack of symetry makes the mural even more of a focal point. Peace, Maria Adam,

Bavier Sun, 17 Jan 2010 06:34:35 +0000 http://blog.adambavier.com/?p=231#comment-229 For the HDR, I converted 9 bracket raw images to 16bit TIF file, and used them as input into Photomatix. Apart from using Adobe RGB instead of SRGB that will give Photomatix the most information to work with. All the others were processed in Capture NX 2 to correct for exposure, white balance, noise reduction, and sharpening. To post to the web, I resized the image in Gimp, then applied an unsharp mask filter (Contrary to the name it is actually a sharpening filter). The sharpening is needed because the resize will make it softer looking. I'm open to suggestions on improving any of the above. I'm always unsure if the images are properly exposed when viewed on other monitors. For the HDR, I converted 9 bracket raw images to 16bit TIF file, and used them as input into Photomatix.

It is a really interesting perspective. Sounds like you like the fish eye lens. Enjoy your future walks. Have you tried processing any through photo shop?

I guess this is also a problem for everyone viewing these images. I wouldn't know what you see unless you also calibrate your monitor.

]]> Comment on Initial Raw Image Results by Adam J. Bavier http://blog.adambavier.com/2009/06/15/initial-raw-image-results/comment-page-1/#comment-9 Adam J. Bavier Wed, 15 Jul 2009 12:46:14 +0000 http://blog.adambavier.com/?p=11#comment-9 I'm hesitant to post the code that isn't completed. I have one issue that exists with using it with the ImageIO.read(file) call, that doesn't exist with just asking for a RAF file reader. I think I know right where the issue is, but I haven't had time to look into it, since I'm still unpacking from my move. The other day I went out and took a bunch of pictures to use as an example in a post. So look for a couple of those to be posted up soon, and for a post with links to a bunch of the sources I used.
