Aminus3 of Shuva
The bench
Posted by Shuva Brata Deb (Bangalore, India) on 21 March 2006 in Miscellaneous and Portfolio.
Well, yesterday's post was a little over saturated like everybody said--thanks for the critique--- here is another HDR(only 3 shots combined) converted to B/W. Selective color desaturation/lightness was done to get the final image. This image also looks a little unreal. Would you agree?

Well the b&w effect definitely gets rid of the saturation problem. I still find the effect a little unreal ... perhaps due to the contrast in light. Still a very cool technique ... looking forward to more.

This is a nice composition. Benches have always fascinated me and I often use then as my subject. I will be posting one of them tomorrow that I shot during my recent visit to Changi Boardwalk.

Greeat BW HDR attempt. I think the uneven cast of colours makes it somewhat unreal.

unreal yet pleasing as mentioned above. This one kind of reminds me of a Dali painting for some reason.

This is more than photography. These last pictures look unreal, but are more an artistic vision of the reality.
I think there is an edge in photography between the exposition of a fact, which is a report work, and the enhenced pictures, based on reality but transformed into something else, which is more art than a bare fact.
Nevertheless, this effect is perfect !

If the leaves or white, it is really an IR image. Sorry for the second posting. I missed few words. Just added now.

Beautiful shot Shuva. I second Suresh, it seems more of an IR image than an HDR, but very interesting result.

I like it. It's the most striking diital b&w I've seen. Most digital b&w lacks real contrast. This has it all.

Not a fan of HDR but nice shot. This could be done with the kaffafle and fakenes of HDR. Lovely lovely composition.
