"Image as Painting"

[knyghtfall]

I quite like the idea of this whole thread - after all doesn't photography mean "painting with light"?


Here're some of my shots which I think have a place here:

How about pointillisme?

This is the kit lens @55mm f5.6 1/10sec and ISO3200 at low light at the end of the day.

I was deliberately trying to get a grainy image (hence the choice of a high ISO). I needed to adjust exposure by about 3 stops in post process, but that was all I did to it.

2 thumbs up for the reflection shot - really like that one, especially how the reflection's quite painting-like, while the silhouettes of the grass remain sharp

fourmix's autumn leaves shot is quite nicely done as well - reminds me of the effect from the Helios 40, which was featured in one of the Soviet lens thread

Just curious.

Why is it assumed that an unacceptable photographic image will make a good painting?

Mickey,

I don't know if it's 'assumed' that it would make a good painting. I think his thread is about how certain bokeh and even camera shake (and really, even some CA) can bring a 'painterly' effect that is often quite beautiful or interesting, even if that effect was unintentional. It can remind one of impressionistic paintings, for example.

Here's three from the DA70mm with some painting-like bokeh.

[little laker]

I really like this one Strat
