Is this post processing ?

[soumya_simanta]

I�m new to the world of photography as well as digital post processing.

 

I saw this (http://g8.no/index.php?showimage=121) image recently and was

wondering how the photographer achieved this effect. I understand there is some

great light here. But, do you feel that some of this image is post process in

Photoshop (especially the water) or is it just because of a long exposure on the

camera.

 

Also, if someone can point to me a good resource that discuss the techniques

used to get this picture (apart from great talent of course :) )

 

Thank you.

Possibly not.

I have taken some early morning pictures of the sea with long exposures, this tends to turn

the sea into a ethereal mist. I'll bet that's how the water was done as for the colour, who

knows? PP done well can be hard to spot;-)

The water you can get from long exposure. I once got a very similar intensity of blue in the

sky by shooting a long exposure to the north on an exceptionally clear winter evening. That

photographer was shooting into the ecliptic so I'd hazard the blues have been dressed up a

bit.

yeah, you will often see color shifts and such with reciprocity failure..

I'm not sure about the picture, but that's a cool web site.

Judging from the other image of the woman holding the lit lightbulb, I would hazard to guess that the author was not averse to using some digital massaging.

[steven_muller]

that isn't necessarily digital (the lightbulb)....you would be amazed at what some

photographers do in studio.......

 

I worked as an assistant for this guy <www.davidsharpe.com> for a while, and all of his work

is done in camera
