By-Tor Posted April 27, 2007 Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 Thanks to Falco the hands & pearl are now properly lumed on my ETA Nooby. I've never taken a proper lume shot before. What do you think of the shot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deltatahoe Posted April 27, 2007 Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 looks great bytor i'm curious -- is that pre or post any photoshop adjustments? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted April 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 2 layers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eunomians Posted April 27, 2007 Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 Lookin' good. It's hard to get the lume to come out in pics, unless there are layers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted April 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 (edited) The lume is easy to get good, but the rest of the picture becomes grainy and ugly because of too little light. I got the idea for this from a watch photography site months ago... but can't find the link anymore. Damn... I try to find it so you can try it yourself. Anyway, it's not rocket science, just a simple Photoshop trick. This is how everyone do it... if you want good daylight lume shot, that is.

eunomians Posted April 27, 2007 Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 Yeah, the problem with digitial is that some sensors and some in-camera software are quite noisy if you take long exposures in the dark. Each camera is different. I know that shooting in RAW and using some sort of noise reduction in post-processing really can help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatgrip Posted April 27, 2007 Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 The lume is easy to get good, but the rest of the picture becomes grainy and ugly because of too little light. Although it can create a "plastic" look to certain surfaces in photos, Noise Ninja is an impressive tool for removing noise. It uses an algorithm which more accurately targets noise without destroying texture the way the CS noise reduction filter can. Using NN, I've saved many pictures which were simply a bit too grainy for printing. Thatgrip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bklm1234 Posted April 27, 2007 Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 Was it superlumed? I like the blueish color. Most of my sub reps have greenish lume out of the box. -bk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
