Artist's Comments
Taken in Hastings Victoria. Used film to capture this, and it pretty much sits where it was shot in the frame.
Bit of luck, maybe. I have done a few storms and generally have a knack for getting it right. |

I have reduced the size and removed the watermark.
I am very new to this so I am gradually learning about things to try.
I have found that the online help is very difficult in that it does not answer some more basic problems or queries.
I have had problems getting my avatar up, as I just can't seem to get the size right for what they want. I am just sooo confused.
Oh, in relation to the noise, I assume you are refering to the grainy texture of the image. It was a film file that was converted, and it is the film grain that came through, if that makes sense.
Any feed back or tips will be appreciated.
Mark.
I forget how to change avatars… it's pretty simple as I recall. I imagine it's a 50x50 pixel image or something like that. You'll figure it out.
As for the noise, it's definitely the film grain. You might like it, but if you have photoshop, you can use the Filter>Reduce Noise and set it to something like "strength 8", "preserve details 50%", and zero for the other options.
That's all I can think of for stuff.
He is referring to the grain of the film when he's referring to noise. Out of curiosity how long of an exposure was this?
There are things you can do to reduce its appearance without loosing too much image quality. What image editing programs do you have? If you have any questions, even the seemingly basic ones, Id be happy to help if I can.
It was a 3 minute exposure with 100 ISO film. I use f9 as standard for the aperture.
Since I have had my Digitals, I have not got to any storms, but I am hoping this weekend, as we are going for a 43 celcius day with a cool change at night, so it could be a boomer, or I could get fried if I'm not careful.
See how I go.
I shoot now in RAW for everything and then I touch up in Lightroom 2, with final minor bits in PS3 if I have to.
Mark.
In addition to what facehead said using PS, you may also want to look into the noise reduction feature in Lightroom.
Also, thanks for the watch.
