Odd lighting. Is this your 'tonemapping' gadget?

Howard Somerville replied to Isisbridge:

Odd as it may appear, that WAS the lighting, and it is realistically reproduced here.

I'll believe it when it happens.

Howard Somerville replied to Isisbridge:

Just take my word for it that it did happen. It was a clear and frosty morning and the sun was low and bright. Apart from the standard eyesore removals, the only digital enhancements here were a slight lightening of the hanging sign and pub front (right) which were in deep shade.

Winslow, which I happened to drive through, wasn't on my itinerary, but because the lighting at the time was so unusual I made an unscheduled stop there.

So I was right in my initial impression that it didn't happen like this.

Isisbridge replied to Howard Somerville:

You're maintaining that this WAS the lighting, whilst at the same time admitting that you've altered it. Is this a form of gaslighting?

Howard Somerville replied to Isisbridge:

No. That WAS the lighting, and the only alteration was to lighten the areas in deep shade, so that both the sunlit and shadow areas look more as they did to the eye. Human retinas are able to resolve a greater brightness range at any one time than a screen can display, and with photographs like this where the dynamic range is high, in order for the lightest parts not to be overexposed while allowing detail in the areas in shade to be visible on screen, the shadow areas need to be lightened slightly. This is neither falsification nor gaslighting.

Isisbridge replied to Howard Somerville:

I'm not suggesting you were falsifying anything, just that you were gaslighting me by trying to make out this is as it was when it wasn't, as you've since admitted.

Gordon Bennett! As I keep saying, this IS as it was.

Isisbridge replied to Howard Somerville:

You've already admitted that you've altered the lighting. So why keep telling me it's as it was, when it isn't? Even Gordon Bennett can see that.

Howard Somerville replied to Isisbridge:

Turning up the brightness in the shadow area slightly isn't "altering the lighting".

Isisbridge replied to Howard Somerville:

Whatever word you choose.

Would you alter the brightness on this one, which you will doubtless find very diarr.
