Olympus Dramatic Tone art filter

A gallery dedicated to the Dramatic Tone art filter captured with the Olympus E series. The effect of using this filter is truly stunning and will no doubt generate a cult following. The images speak for themselves but in short - 'dull lifeless images can be transformed with the flick of the filter switch'.

The techie bit - Dramatic Tone is a Pseudo HDR Processing. The Dramatic Tone Art Filter is simply a very quick 'in-camera' processing to drastically lift up the details in the shadow region, while toning down significantly the brightness in the highlight region. The filter balances up the dark and bright areas, but at a very extreme margin that the image will most likely turn out looking very unnatural. The lighting balance has been heavily manipulated, and the colour saturation has also been boosted, along with the overall contrast of the image. The overall outcome is a very punchy, strong, vividly surreal looking image.

I can't wait for the first thunderstorm :-) Captured with a passing power shower in the background and using the Olympus E5 , 12-60mm SWD, with dramatic tone art filter.
