The Apparition
This image of a ghostly woman with a glowing orb in the dark started out as an overexposed shot of a woman tossing a frisbee in the park.
I opened the RAW image in darktable to try to fix the exposure issues. One of the darktable modules had a box I could click to reveal the module's proposed mask to use. I clicked it, and what it displayed is the basis for what you see above. I thought it looked interesting, so I did a screen shot of the mask display and edited it into what I posted.
You have ended up with something quite special 👏👏
ReplyDeleteGlad you decided to turn this into a monochrome with the darktable's mask. Makes the photo stand out especially in mono.
ReplyDeleteHad to go look up darktable.....don't remember having seen the app before.
DeleteI'm too cheap to invest in the Lightroom universe, and I'm a sucker for open source software. darktable is complicated but that's part of the fun!
DeleteThe first capture had a ghost like appearance
ReplyDeleteVery cool edit
ReplyDeleteWell done! Proves the power of exploration and experimentation. Do it again!
