Win a Pentax Limited Lens: Raffle Now Live!

**noelcmn** · 11-13-2021, 05:50 AM

Thanks to Stevejo for the honor of hosting the next PP Challenge. I've been playing around with my Crystal ball recently, and here os one I've processed myself. Let's see what you can do with this one. Chosen this one becuase it is under exposed, even though I do have others that are more respectable.

As you will all know by now, I do not shoot RAW, only JPEG.

The challenge will close on Friday 19th November 2021

Not satisfied with my try. I'd like to see how others handled this.

Missed a couple of challenges - this is an awesome picture to come back to - Thanks ! And wow, that's a cool toy - I want one!

most color/light adjustments in ACR - I don't know about anyone else, but I'm really liking the new masking filter stuff in ACR. Tried to deal with the sky banding with some PS texture filters, instead of the classic "add noise".

Whenever I see one of these crystal balls, this is what springs to my mind, I know... I'm beyond saving.

Just playing with Affinity photo for iPad. Not as intuitive as the desktop version but fun to see what it will do.

Challenge closed. I'll have the winner announced later today, if I get some time.

EXIF for this shot -1/125 sec. f/22 28 mm, which will tell you this was not going to be an easy one! Still I am gratified at the submissions, and interpretations. The winner is Astonm. Congrats- not just coming back to a great photo, but a win too!
Here is my version. -Removed the tripod head.

Thank you ! The magic crystal ball is a fun idea

I'll dig around and get something going tonight or tomorrow. See you all soon...
