Time Out with Ziffy Jacobs: Excitement

Excitement


Winter wonderland (Hyde Park, London), there I was and could feel all the excitement within its movements. That I decided to explore with my shutter. Every shot was either at 1/10th or 1/8th of a second, slow enough to capture excitement and fast enough to slow down the moving crowd.

Enjoy!

JPEG vs RAW: Why I started shooting JPEG again after two years shooting just RAW

Image
Before I ever knew about RAW files, I shot JPEG with my eos 1100d and had shot only JPEGs prior to 2013. What drew me to Shoot RAW was that awesome ability to recover detail in the highlights or to dramatically change exposure without losing detail. Yes, that’s what drew me to shoot raw but not why I found that so enticing. I shot raw because I thought it would make my images appear better as a whole and that I would not have to worry about spending time to learn how to get that correctly exposed shot; that shot that wouldn’t require tweaking a JPEG beyond its limits and losing data as a result.

Steroid Filter; Adobe Algorithm Copies Photo Styles

Image
Technically called “Deep Photo Style Transfer”, researchers from Adobe and Cornell University have teamed up to develop an algorithm that lifts the photo style from one image to another. The software is developed on pre-existing technology used in Prisma app which copies painting styles however; the software’s algorithm produces satisfying photorealistic style transfers in a wide range of scenarios including transfer of weather, season, artistic edits and time of day more than 80% of the time. Here are some examples of the algorithm in action: "A" is the reference image, "B" is the image to be edited and "C" is the output Example I Example II Example II This level of accuracy and faithfulness was achievable by; (a)     Constraining transformation to be locally affine in colour space from input to output in order to prevent distortions. (b)    Introduction of an optional guidance to the style transfer process to avoid c...
