Tolles Bild. Ist das ein Salzfelsen? Ich hab nur einmal einen am toten Meer gesehen.

johna January 13, 2010, 06:07 PM

No it is not a saltfield it's a frozen lake I think , it's not my picture. Thanks for the comment.

Dürfte eher ein abgebauter Kreidestuhl sein, ist viel zu grobkörnig. Vielleicht kann mal jemand das übersetzen, dann weiß man mehr. Ist auf jeden Fall eine gelungene Aufnahme, der Verlauf der Bäume und die Dreiteilung des Waldes sind gut geworden. Das ist nicht mal so im Vorbeigehen gemacht.

johna January 14, 2010, 08:39 PM

My german is not so good that I can fully understand your comment. But thanks for the reaction.

Waldi January 20, 2010, 11:51 PM

Ja, ich bin auch überzeugt es ist ein Kreidestock. Vermutlich die Abraumhalde eines Bergwerks. Von allen in der Liste ist es klar mein Favorit, vielleicht nach der Kirchenruine. Ich würde aber gern wissen, wo das ist. Vom Wald her kommt das Erzgebirge oder auch die sächsische Schweiz in Frage, wenn es hierzulande ist. Eine Übersetzung wär wirklich gut.

Nich übel. Mit Gelb- oder Braunfilter und Kunstlichtfilm bei Tageslicht fotografiert und mit Dämpferfolie davor eingescannt. Ne Menge Arbeit. Aber was das ist, keinen blassen Schimmer.

(Johna, I am telling them a bit about the image and ask them to use English.)

Das Original des Bildes ist von "nachbarnebenan" http://www.23hq.com/nachbarnebenan/photo/5274093 . Siehe auch die Bildunterschrift. Er hat es in das Forum von "Meet the GIMP" eingestellt, weil er mit seiner Bearbeitung nicht recht zufrieden war. http://forum.meetthegimp.org/index.php/topic,857.0.html

("Meet the GIMP" ist ein Videopodcast über das Open Source Grafikprogramm GIMP, mit dem man, wie man hier sieht, an Fotos gut was erreichen kann. Braunfilter zum Beispiel. ;-) Und ich bin der, der "Meet the GIMP" hauptsächlich macht.)

Verschiedene Mitglieder des Forums haben sich an dem Bild versucht, unter anderem auch Johna mit dieser Version.

Johna kommt aus den Niederlanden und kann kein Deutsch - wie man ja auch oben lesen kann. Ich finde es ein Gebot der Höflichkeit, dann auch in Englisch zu kommentieren bzw. den Kommentar kurz zusammenzufassen. Muss ja nicht perfekt sein, nur verständlich. Im Forum gibt es schon einen Übersetzungsdienst für die Kommentare hier.... ;-)

Die Lizenz für das Bild muss übrigens "Creative Commons: Attribution-ShareAlike License" sein, genau wie das Original.

Johna, please change the rights of the image from "All rights reserved" to "Creative Commons: Attribution-ShareAlike License" as the original. I am sure our friend nachbarnebenan will not sue you, but it makes the life easier for other people, now that your version is getting famous. ;-)

Thanks Rolf.

From nachbarnebenan in the forum.meetthegimp.org: "Location is here in Leipzig, not far from where I live. It's an old open pit lignite mine filled up in the 70th to create a lake and frozen over. The photo shows the opposite (west-side) shore with a large snow-covered rock. I'm not sure if this will work: http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=51.301136&lon=12.250048&zoom=18&layers=B000FTF "

I have added geo tags.

Wenn ich das richtig mitbekommen habe ist die andere Aufnahme der Ausgangspunkt, ja? Wie kommt man dann zu diesem Bild? Ich hab' mich vor Jahren mal an Bildbearbeitung versucht als ich ein altes Foto nachbearbeiten wollte. Ich weiß nicht mehr, welches Programm ich benutzt habe, es war bei einem Bekannten der Fotograf ist. Ich bin damit absolut nicht zurechtgekommen, mit jedem Klick sah das Bild schlimmer und verzerrter aus, vor allem da ich kein Englisch kann. Darum würde mich brennend interessieren, wie man von einem Bild zum nächsten kommt. Da ich mir sowieso in nächster Zeit endlich eine Digitalkamera zulegen werde, kann ich mir auch gleich passende Software dazukaufen.

If I have noticed this is the other host the starting point, yes? How do we get this picture? I'll just have a few years ago trying to image processing times when I wanted to rework an old photograph. I wei? not what program I used, it was with a friend, the photographer. I am so totally not get along with each click, the picture looked worse and more distorted, especially since I can not speak English. Therefore, w? Rde interest me burning, how to get from one image to the n? Chsten. Since I'm going to grow anyway in n? Chster time finally a digital camera, I can purchase an equal to me right software.

Riccardo Ehna April 13, 2010, 10:28 AM

Muy impresionante lo que puede de ese dibujo pero todo lo que fuera todavía. Ha sido casi como una pintura pictórica de los Setenta. ¿Existe una guía paso a paso sobre cómo exactamente lo que usted consigue algo como para ir?

ruth May 12, 2010, 06:29 PM

Is there a step by step guide on how to get this picture from the other one?

johna May 13, 2010, 11:56 AM

There is no step by step guide for this picture.

vibla May 14, 2010, 08:59 AM

Can you give hints of how to make that? The effect is astonishing! Did you use some special software for that? To my camera I buyed a expensive photo software . She can repair dark or bright fotos and delete red eyes and look for people smiling and make the heaven nice blue. More then i need. But she can never do that. What you use? Were you learn it?

johna May 14, 2010, 07:08 PM

I used the free software gimp and watch all the shows at http://meetthegimp.org/category/gimp-video-tutorial/ where Rolf Steinort explains on a verry understandable way how to use this program.
You can download this program on http://www.gimp.org/downloads/

marfa May 15, 2010, 12:29 AM

I suggest never download progam or anything on the net. It is forbidden and will give you virus. Go to a shop and buy it as normal people do. Beside illegal the more people download and not pay the more expensive it become.
John, please not give such foul advise.

Rolf Steinort May 15, 2010, 10:01 AM

marfa, you should either read up on the concept of Open Source and Free Software (which is powering a whole lot of the Internet and much more) or sit back and enjoy the handful of $ you got from the software industry to distribute such false information.

GIMP is distributed under the GNU Public License (GPL). So it is perfectly legal to distribute for free. And you can be sure that the copies on the original server are checked at least as careful against malware as any commercial product. There were some commercial CDs out with a virus on board, but I never heard that about Free Software from the original source.

And if you prefer to buy your software, I am offering you this once in a time opportunity: For 799.98€ I'll send you

- a CD containing GIMP for Windows, a set of the most important plugins and the complete manual in HTML

- the complete source code for GIMP on the CD

- the complete text of the license

- a DVD with the Meet the GIMP videos #1 to #46 in a professionally made box compiled by the Southend on Sea Linux User Group

and finally

- an autographed DVD with the episodes #47 to #140.

Of course all is legal and you'll get an invoice.

Shipping costs depend on where you live, you pay what I have to pay.

;-)

Seth Major May 15, 2010, 01:31 PM

I would like know what happen if she really pay you ;-) Would be difficult to explain to the tax office...
But i would like to have that autographed dvd too. Can you make a new contest with it as prize?
Sadly the fud going on is very bad. Industry inventes a lot of money making people believe everything is illegal. Sadly it seems to work with many. Even at work i had this problem.

riccardo May 18, 2010, 12:47 PM

Thats a really cool photo. It nearly seems like woods on a model train magnified. As if made from plastics. It has a really good mood and light.

Alex May 19, 2010, 10:44 AM

@Johna
Rolf has used your photos in his last show. Maybe you could persuade him to make a howto for his next show? I like the improvement you made.

peach May 19, 2010, 10:22 PM

A very beautiful landscape! Did you do this digital or real and scanned? And what camera and film you use? How long you work on the edit?

casi May 27, 2010, 02:03 PM

How long did you work on this? Must be many hours.

johna May 30, 2010, 11:53 AM

I,m just back from a vacation therefore this late response.
riccardo thanks for your comments.
Alex, peach and casi i'l try to explane how i did the edit.
It take's a few minutes.
First of all you take the original photo of nachbarnebenan

http://www.23hq.com/nachbarnebenan/photo/5274119

make three copy's.

first copy: set the layer mode to screen, opacity to 70 %,
apply a white layer mask and paint the water with black.

second copy: use a lightbleu forecolor an a white backcolor
use the blend tool to fil the sky, start at the top, stop just below the top off the trees. aply a transparant layer mask.

third copy: use the treshold tool to make a black/white image off this copy, paint all black exept the sky, copy and past it to the layer mask of the second copy, make the third copy invisible.

Make a new layer from visible and you ready.

rumais June 15, 2010, 10:26 AM

Which camera and lens were that taken? There is none further informations.

Ulmar Wüsthoff July 15, 2010, 03:57 PM

This is a exhibition in Germany Duisburg train stop what show this landscape with others. I believe down is little snipped off. The link is not right, printed 32hq not 23hq.

Edward July 21, 2010, 10:12 AM

Andreas Helmmann October 02, 2010, 07:45 AM
