Polarion HID 35W Dive Light - "Abyss U2"

[SunFire900]

Thanks for sharing your wonderful photos. It looks to me that it is not just a hobby, but your life!

Vee, I'm most impressed with you catalog of lux measurements and collection of wonderful light art. You're amazingly creative and I can tell that you put a lot of thought into your photos! I've never seen anything quite like this style and I think that you should sell your pictures. Beautiful! I think it's fair to say that you get more use out of your filters than anyone on this forum.

How much Photoshop is required to achieve the desired results? I'm guessing it varies from picture to picture.

Thank you for taking the time to post all of your links. I've saved them all as reference material. Great contribuition. :wave:

Patriot. I do not use photoshop software at all.
In fact, I do not even have it or anything like that.
The only thing I can do afterwards. Is limited.

The first time I have a system camera in hand in January this year (2009).
So I try to learn.

Vee,

That is truly impressive. You wouldn't need colored filters if you "cheated" by using Photoshop.

Just great work!

Photoshop photograph of the image is not genuine.
I do not want to "cheat". Taking photographs is so much nicer. I love the "organic" images.
But this goes to far offtopic.

I put a few more link in my test. From there, might find interesting photos. Excuse the fact that texts are only in Finland.

That's great Vesa! I'm even more impressed to know that you don't use photoshop. Sometimes you can extract that little extra bit of character out of your photos with without spoiling the original effect. You would probably enjoy playing with the program.

Tell you what, if your pictures are full size, I can't remember if they are....I'll make a few adjustments and I'll email them to you and you can tell me what you think.

EDIT:

Ok, hopefully I'm still on thread topic boundries since you used Polarion lights and filters. If you like them, please PM me with your email and I'll send the full size changes to you.

All original images are from Vee73 (with my minor adjustments)

Yes,

Look how the Polarion illuminates the entire Horizon a redish tint (last image).

Without the searchlight on, it would be completely pitch black!!!

It's all Vee73's work. I just adjusted a few things very slightly which took all of 2 minutes.

Here there is not dark in the summer at all. Similarly, the winter is dark three months at a time. Polarion flashlights are really needed in the winter.

Vesa, or anyone else who might know, is the U2's finish typeII or is it HA?

:thanks:

 

[vee73]

If I do not remember totally wrong, it just seemed similar to the others. I can also be wrong. The next time I go to the importer, will check it. It might be tomorrow.

Patriot. You have a nice picture of the signature variable.:huh:
