“綠之寧 Green Serenity” / 寧 Serenity / SML.20130123.EOSM.01585.P1

What is often rather unclear when photographing in near total darkness is the white point to develop in.

 

But since most image sensors are configured with 2G 1R and 1B, yellow (R+G) and green (G+G) are pretty good to work with. Here processed using green as layer. It could work just as well in black and white but I prefer the intensity of the warmth from the yellow glow so I pick it slightly towards lime.

 

Image sensors’ typical config: (where BG/GR together makes one single pixel)

BG BG BG

GR GR GR

 

This is why blue and reds are normally noisy but the greens in hardware is actually twice as much resolution. At least this is how I see it.

 

Photographed with Canon EOS M + Canon EF 17-40 f/4L USM mounted on tripod; manual focus + manual exposure.
