- **KevinFRK@lemmy.world** · 3 pts · 1d: Interesting and quite effective choice to have such dark sides to the photo and a central golden strip. I like the way you can see the detail in the sides if you pay attention. I'm guessing the sky was over-exposed in this photo - did you try extracting a bit more detail from it (e.g. a hint of cloud shapes) as, to me, as the lack of detail feels a bit out of keeping with the rest.
  - **Humanius@lemmy.world** (OP) · 3 pts · 1d: The sky was indeed quite over-exposed. 
    
    I take these photos on film, so the dynamic range is not quite as wide as with digital, and getting the exposure right remains tricky
    - **KevinFRK@lemmy.world** · 3 pts · 1d: Ah, I missed that it was actual film - which I think increases my respect for your result, film being much less forgiving!
      
      Out of interest, film you develop yourself, or just an apparently very sympathetic shop?
      - **Humanius@lemmy.world** (OP) · 1 pts · 23h: Thanks! I did some minimal digital editing afterwards, but I try not to "cheat" too much when shooting on film.
        
        I have them developed at CameraNu.   
        They have a service for developing and scanning photos on film, and the actual machine to develop colour film happens to be located at the Eindhoven branch.   
        
        So I can bring in a roll and the scans get sent to my email within two hours.
        
        **Edit:** I'll upload the original scan when I get home, so you can be the judge as to whether I cheated 😄
        - **Humanius@lemmy.world** (OP) · 0 pts · 13h: As promised, the original scan.

          Basically I cropped and straightened it a little, and did some minor colour correction.
          
          - **KevinFRK@lemmy.world** · 0 pts · 4h: Well, that sort of tidying up is far from cheating (and I think I wrote ambiguously, to say the least, if I ever implied you did). And thank you for the insight into your work.
            - **Humanius@lemmy.world** (OP) · 0 pts · 3h: Don't worry, I don't think you implied anything like that. 
              
              It was more to show that I met my own standard for "not cheating", and that the result is indeed roughly in line with the original shot.
              
              Actually, by my own standard the Schwebebahn picture I posted a few days ago is sort-of a cheat, because it's a composite of two pictures.
