Photography Thread
 

I got inspired by Mariner's thread, and found my camera... also started doing some basic Photoshop tutorials. (I don't know why I made them a bunch of different sizes)

Messing around with saturation/color selecting/color replacing...



This looks kinda retarded, I was just messing around, but I'm just happy I figured out how to use layers in PS...



SNOW! View from my sister's apartment....



Not terribly interesting, but this is the view at the back of my apartment... I messed with the color a bit, it was pretty dull.

cinnamon buns

i cranked one out to that bench

del

It is rather sexy...

do you know if the bench is single? do you think i should go over and talk to it?

I don't think it's single... it lives with this one. Though it does look like they're a bit seperated.

these pics need more lens flare and outer bevel

shit, i'm just going to have to keep checking its facebook for signs of trouble in paradise i guess :(

guy with the headband is stylin, he doesn't even care that a photo is being taken

I don't even know what that means yet >.< Getting there though...

I'm working with a Canon Powershot A510... not exactly professional :D

omg that whole thread is hilarious

^

i am a graphic designer - coincidence? I THINK NEY!

ok lesson 1. (haha!) in photoshop:

if you go to the option "mode" and then switch from RGB to LAB you can get a more vivid or dynamic photograph

ok after LAB - go to curves and there will be three settings in the scrollbox - L, A and B

you want to go to B and then pull the righthand corner little black box to the left - say - half of a square on the graph

then the same with the bottom lefthand corner black box to the right half a square

this will bring the colours up and give you a MUCh better image - just fiddle around with it!!

then revert back to RGB - fin

Cool beans, I'll fiddle around with that... thanks!

for an example ----

oh and I have added some clarity with sharpening - 120% 0.7 pixles and 0 on the bottom box



dark and light is too strong and more brushing needed but really late for work hahaahha!!!!

Damn that's cool!

wow i had to do a double take. i thought for sure this was an ansel adams!

the one of the bins is really good!

[holy] lol[s]

The only picture I was ever proud of was taken about three or four years ago. I found it again some time ago and was disappointed that it actually wasn't so great at all, especially not in b/w [I have no idea why I changed the colors].
Anyway, let's see if I can find it.

Wow, this is even worse than I remembered:



I have to add that I was very much in love with that girl back then. Yes, this is a girl.

^ Post the one of you in the middle of that stadium [in Berlin, if I remember correctly?].

I think this was in the Lustgarten, just infront of the Altes Museum in Museum Insel...at about 1 in the morning
