Good one, Dominique. Like shooting through a clear filter in a yellow world.

Two of my favorite stopping places in the Pioneer Cemetery. I left the ninja on Samuel Davis's grave. GRD IV (currently in shop; I sneezed and dropped it in sand, and the lens assembly froze up despite my best efforts with a blower. Always wear your wrist strap!)

I really like your tombstone images, Robert
I am sorry to hear about you camera being in the shop. Wrist straps are a must. I have to repeat that to myself.

Vert very cool shot.

The only advantage of jetlag is waking up at dawn: GRD IV.

Where is that Dark Satanic Mill in Norcal?

Very deft contre-jour and/or postprocessing--that's the main point. Maintaining the lighter gray zones on the hills is very fine.

Kent, in-camera do you see those bricklike pixellations in the sky on the left and in the center? (Or did you work those in by boosting PP sliders after using the High-Contrast mode?) The leaves in the center against the sky, too, have highly manipulated contrast edges.

Cool image overall. I'd like to see a version without the super contrast, too.

Interesting Robert, I hadn't noticed that! I shot in High Contrast B&W mode and added Vignetting and a red filter in Lightroom and Silver Efex.

Good eye!

Robert,

I took a look and the "bricks" aren't in the Lightroom file, even after processing. When exporting to any quality JPG they suddenly appear. Here is the file exported as a "small" TIFF.

No Bricks.

I wonder what that's about. It's odd that they only do it as jpgs, and that they are so uniformly bricklike. I can't try to duplicate it until my IV comes back from criscam. The etched outlines of the leaves, I've seen something like that before, especially when there's a high contrast blue filter against a backdrop sky.

See what people say if it's posted in the gallery?

 

[kdemas]

I might do that Robert. Right now I'm trying every possible combo I can think of. It's showing up with every JPG (this image), no matter how little processing I do. Wildly bizarre!

 

[kdemas]

Got it! This is happening when I limit the file size, it must be cranking down the "quality setting" too low and the pixelation occurs. Working to see where the limit is. Currently the setttings that work are: Quality- 100 Re-size- 1250px

 

[kdemas]

OK. Quality slider must be >80% or it shows up.

 

[kdemas]

Viola.

Fixed image. Mystery solved, still bizarre as I have never seen this on another image I've processed.
