I tended bar on Rush st. for several years at a place called The Hangge Uppe, and it's still there, though much has changed on the street. Anyway, I took this pic--a real drive-by, though I was stopped at a stop sign. The original pic is a mess--at 2500 ISO it's grainier than an Iowa silo, and it has enough of those pink & blue artifacts to give a digital archeologist an orgasm. I think those 3 lights in the background biased the metering causing the original pic to underexpose--hence the grain/artifact issue when trying to brighten it up.
Since Oct, I've been rendering the heck out of it, and tonight I think I've finally settled on this rendering. Interestingly though, just now I printed this pic on some Illford Gold Fiber Silk, 8 1/2 x 11, and it looks A LOT less grainer than this digital version. http://tinyurl.com/ygzuu7m http://www.caguila.com/caguila/rushstcouple/content/20091010__IGP5336_large. html Comments welcome. Cheers, Christine ============ Yes, looks good. You did a good job in rendering.
