Photo Masters - like Hasselblad Masters by Chase Jarvis

Hary

Hi,
I though of an idea to share how you come up with your best photos.
After watching a move by Chase Jarvis: Hasselblad Masters (google or youtube it) which was very inspiring I thought that I'd love to see more...
I realize that not many can put so much effort into creating a professional movie like that but we could share how a photo was taken from step 1.
as an example please take a look at one hour of casual walk around shooting done yesterday which resulted in one of my best pictures yet:
Walking around I thought i would get a nice old/western style building shot or something but I couldn't picture anything around me working...









You just have to love the "no shirt no shoes no service" sign
moving on I noticed a boy on a bike crossing the rail track...
The bike was big, the boy was small so it took him a while...









The shot:









the crop and Lightroom PP:









the Photoshop finish + frame:









I would love to see how you work and how hundreds of shots turn into the one shot you love.
Thanks for your input!

p.s. by no mean do i think that I'm a master in any way
p.s.2 i created a similar post on dpreview but i hope that here the response will be greater due to more focus on pictures themselves.

Hi Hary, I love your finished shot, the Crop and Sepia Tone really make it!
I had already seen your finished image before this post,
I got the impression the boy pushing his bike across the tracks was way out in the middle of nowhere, but in fact he's in town
and now that I have seen the Original I must say,
I love how you processed it to come up with your Final Print

I'm glad I got to see the orginal shot, and share your day out in photos.

Hope others will share their shots too Good Post Hary ... Skippy

thanks o lot you are very kind.

I didn't create this post to just share my picture I'm really interested in the process of making pictures because most of the work and magic is done after the shot is taken. I actually think that almost any shot can be made into something amazing well maybe almost every shot because if it's really boring than nothing will save it

But please share even if you don't want to show a part of the shooting day still showing the crop will probably be interesting.
I personally thought that the crop is worth a lot in the picture - much more than a 1800$ lens. I love the fact that the new cameras give us the option to crop in tight on the pictures above i used maybe 50% of the 12 mpix.

I really hope that this thread will have a chance. If not then do you know a place where similar lets call it guides can be found?

Thanks for reading!

I really like how you put all this together.

Seeing which photo caught you from your shots out on your walk....then the process you took to get to your finished photo.

Good choice in your pick and a great finish to the photo
