Thanks!
T'as raison à propos du grain, mais c'est pas les filtres, c'est le 'sharpen' que j'ai poussé un peu trop.

Je vais essayer de le refaire un peu plus clean.

You're a filter wiz..I honestly have never really used filters too much...always a bit expensive it seems to get a decent set.

Thank you

Filters can be expensive, but there are 2 that are really very essential: The polarizer, and the graduated neutral density (I've got medium grade, the top-notch ones are way too expensive for me now.)

The other ones I used are obsolete as actual screw-on filters (for digital). If it can be reproduced by a camera setting, or sometimes a software, why bother?

lol. Well thanks!

Nothing really edited in this picture. Not even changing the levels; it's all in the filters.

Polarizer + red filter almost always gives you a pitch black sky.
a)The polarizer got the sky deep blue, removing all haze, reflections, and making the clouds 'op'.

b)The red filter only lets reddish tones hit the censor, and since the sky's rays got almost 100% blue, it was all filtered out, so no light gets to the photo in that area, rendering it black.

c)The 'bleach bypass' filter was used as an alternative to 'saturated sepia', but you can do that one in different ways.

That's a lot of filters.
hehe, thanks mate, this is appreciated

you're welcome!

(the polarizer is the only actual filter though. The red one is a setting in the camera, and the other one's a software)
