Bwooop!
The trio vs. the pirate-ladyman Recently lis opined that no native Utard remembers Lighthouse 20, the kid show that was broadcast on UHF channel 20. Now I have a slight dispute with lis, in that I remember the pirate on the show was played by a woman, and she recalls someone very different (a man, I presume). Now Lighthouse 20 was not by any means my favorite show (hell I think it replaced Gillagan's Island!), but I do remember it--not really fondly but I remember it. The real purpose of my writing is that I made the comparison of Lighthouse 20 to Hotel Balderdash--a show that apparently ran for 10 years on channel four here in SLC. Now this show was the bomb; not only did it start at 6:00 am 6:45 am and show nothing but 30's-late 40's Warner Brothers cartoons (you know, Bugs and Daffy, but not Porky Pig and certainly not that crap WB churned out from the 50s onward.) These cartoons, of course, were made for adults and the humor was mostly sophisticated in a slapstick kind...
What are you using for your vignettes?
ReplyDeleteI shoot everything in RAW these days and use PhotoShop's Camera Raw editor for the vignetting. I'm usually not as harsh as this, but it emphasized the natural lens vignetting that my 55-200 has.
ReplyDeleteI believe the Camera Raw editor is the same module as in Lightroom, but I don't get these drastic effects in Lightroom at all. And what natural vignetting does your zoom have and why do you have it? Are you using DX lenses on a full frame body? Just curious.
ReplyDeleteI made that interminable rooster crow my new ringtone, by the way. Thanks for that.
ReplyDeleteI don't know why I get vignetting. I thought all lenses did. Anyway, it is just a hint at it at some apertures. I believe the wider the aperture the more vignetting I get--particularly when zoomed in.
ReplyDeleteI did use LAB color too--that pops the contrast a bit. I don't recall, however, putting any contrast on the image with "curves."
Good idea about the rooster. I'll have to try that.
If you are in the NIkon world, I expect that you might be using a DX zoom on a full frame body. That might explain why the image doesn't cover the full sensor area...? What camera are you using?
ReplyDeleteAh, I get it. I never understood why vignetting happened. No, my lense and my camera (D40) are supposed to match.
