Overcooked Lake...

[Steve5D]

No big secret that I like to leave these in the oven a little bit longer than most.

Anyway, this is a tone map of a pond near my brother's house down in St. Augustine, Florida:

The kinda landscape I like!

Thanks!

I figure if I'm gonna' do HDR, I might as well over-do it...

You mean if your gonna do "grunge", you may as wll over-do it.

This is a tone mapped image which dynamic range hasn't been increased. There fore it is not a High Dynamic Range image.

That being said, I still like it except for all the noise in the clouds

I feel sorry for people who don't drink. They wake up in the morning and that's the best they're gonna' feel all day... - Dean Martin

Isn't that a quote from Sinatra, not Martin?

As soon as you pull a fish out of that lake, make sure you throw it on ice to keep it from cooking even more. No sense in having dry fish for dinner.

Thanks!

Well, I didn't "grunge" this at all.

My comment was made in general. HDR/tonemapping... I use the same software for both. If you notice in my OP, I clearly state that it's a tone-mapped image...

Well, I didn't "grunge" it at all.

And my comment was made in general; HDR/tone-mapping... I use the same software for both.

If you notice in my OP, I clearly stated that it was tone mapped...

You're not the first person to mention that and, in fact, I've seen it attributed to both.

It just seems like something Martin would be more likely to say...

Oven??? ...what does that term refer to?

Its a misquote and it was Frank that said it......"I feel bad for people who don't drink because when they wake up in the morning and get out of bed...Thats the best they are gonna feel. "

the first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem.

Like I said, I've seen it attributed to both, and haven't been able to confirm it one way or another.

It's just a funny quote, regardless...

Oh, here as of late, I certainly have!

Oven??? ...what does that term refer to?

Well, heavily edited images are referred to as "overcooked". So, when I do heavy editing, I say I left it in the oven...

The term "overcooked" comes from the Pyrotype, which involved baking negatives at 350° for 40 minutes until golden brown. Known for it's tremendous dynamic range, the photographic establishment refused to accept it as a legitimate process, and fell into obscurity, leaving only the derogatory phrase that a photo is "overcooked" behind in it's wake.

Today, the original chemistry and technique is only being utilized by Famous Amos as a part of cookie production
