> subtle HDR Now *there's* a phrase you don't often hear. :)
I really like the subject and this shot. Grain's tricky, Walt. I fear this grain is too big and is reducing the detail too much. I'm also seeing a pronounced halo in places, especially at the lamp's bottom where the rounded base transitions to the background, so I think that your contrast boost needs to be applied more selectively. Besides that, very nice! On Thu, Mar 1, 2012 at 2:25 PM, Walt Gilbert <[email protected]> wrote: > > Here's a shot of an old coal oil lantern I took the other day while doing > yard work.
