RE: PHOTOGRAPHY 101 – VIGNETTING - IS IT A FAD?
Gee, I had to really look at these photos to see the differences....the first two are very close but I could see the differences around the edges being more blurred in the second than the first. But honestly, I can't tell with the dark backgrounds. What am I missing? The only difference is the edge being ragged vs sharp.
Nevertheless....beautiful photos and thank you again for the photog lesson. Always appreciated.
I'm not sure what you are looking for in the last 2. LOL! They are identical except for the text. I added Dahlia 4 as an example of adding text to Dahlia 3.
Perhaps your screen is not showing the vignette in the second shot. It's not actually more blurred - just slightly darker - subtle vignetting.
lol....I thought the text might have been it but I was looking for filtering, tones, etc....lol. Way to overlook, and overthink. Gee.
The difference in the first two is very subtle and I thought vignetting had to do with blurring the edges...see? I don't read well...or see well. Getting so old. It's good for a laugh at any rate.
There is so much to see and read on here, that we are all guilty of skim reading! LOL!
You can create a blur type vignette too, so you were not wrong at all! And you did get my point that I preferred subtle vignetting. LOL! With subtle vignetting you don't so much see the vignetting as you see the center more clearly because there is a little more contrast. If you go back and look at Number 2, you may notice that the area around the flower appears lighter - although it is not. It's the outside edges that are darker. :-)
Oh yes...I see it. Mind tricks. Optical illusions and whatnot. It's interesting how the brain processes what the eyes see.
It is interesting, I agree!
