Kodachrome 25 was a slide film I used a lot years ago.

DxO Optics now have a filter that (they say) replicates the grain of particular film stock, one of which is K25.

I have applied this treatment to the following picture of NY Central Park. Although only taken in November 2000, the year before 9/11, because there are no skyscrapers in the background, I thought it lent itself to the exercise.

What do others think? Click pic for larger image:

Interesting effect, have you got a link to the original (normally processed) image for comparison.

It kind of looks a little like some of the examples of HDR images that are being thrown around the 'net at the moment...

Whether it replicates or not, this is a fine image with great colour

A reasonable request, and here it is - but what is an HDR image?

Basically an image that is a composite of a number of images, at different exposures, merged together to form a single image with a greater dynamic range..

So you take 4 shots each a stop or so apart, and then the computer merges them so that you have all the shadow details and all the highlight details and everything inbetween.
(That's my understanding anyways)

I like what it has done Trevor, really suits the scene well I think. Great find and more importantly great photo!

High Dynamic Range is, I think, the expansion of the acronym you were looking for.

Cheers

Thanks - I was scratching my head for a minute there.

I really like the colours and composition. Only gripe is the clouds looks a bit blown.
