Curious about this NoiseNinja, care to clue me in?

It's a program that's amazing at getting rid of noise in an image:

Holy shit o_o

The first picture I feel that the house is too centered. I know it's more off to the right than actually centered, but that interesting part of the building is centered, making the visual weight of the building all go to that part of it. Your eyes stay there and don't really venture off into the rest of the image.

The second image... that tree is just ugly as hell. If the tree actually wasn't there I feel that the piece would be perfectly balanced. The small interesting object vs large open negative space makes for pretty solid balance.

I beg to differ, I love that tree in black and white.

Different tastes

If the tree was less cluttered or something.. I dunno. It just looks like a noisy mess to me.

Llama, you dont seem to understand visual weight.

In the second picture I just don't like the tree. It's ugly and confusing to look at because of the noisy mess of pixels that make it up.

The first picture doesn't seem balanced to me and the actual layout of it is boring because your eyes are drawn to the center of the image without a lot of other places to go.



If the shot were to pan over to where my red box is and have only sky and that hedgeline continuing the piece would be balanced perfectly and it would have a more interesting composition.

An object that is falling off the edge of the viewing plane carries more visual weight than an object enclosed in the picture. The large negative space also carries a lot of weight because of the size of it.

A more extreme example of this principal of small interesting positive space vs large boring negative space....



The small vibrant red counters the large bland yellow. If I were to add more red to it and close it off the side there it'd give it so much more weight that it'd be unbalanced.



The difference between my example and his picture is that the negative space isn't as boring as the large bland yellow I have, therefor it carries a lot more visual weight than my yellow. That's why his house (my red) needs more weight to counter the sky (by pressing it against the image plane.

Jeez llama, you really wanted to prove zeph wrong on that one o_o

Meh, the tree is ok, but it really makes obvious that contrasty bridge between the sky and the rest of the picture, which just looks sloppy. Get a workaround for that in your workflow.

^^ Kid makes claim about me. I prove claim wrong. Kid shuts up.

Post your new one Phopo!
