Re: Silver Creek
Rocky, Oh yeah! Huge improvement. Definately a much richer and more detailed image. Did you just mask the water and bump exposure up everywhere else? I could do this in post, but now I want to head back and re-shoot. 8 hour drive though. I am seeing where what you say is true of about everything I shot there for example,… -
Re: Broken
Tony, interesting "product shot" if I may call it. Good 3D lighting. It is over sharpened past all reason, to my taste. Two simple techniques come to mind that dramatically increase contrast/presence without making every pimple stand out: 1. Duplicate 2a. Top layer Hard Light blending + High Pass at radius between 25 and… -
Strobes BB - 2nd Attempt
Well, I made some adjustments and the shadows are reduced and the lighting isn't as harsh BUT I got a new set of problems. I tried a different lens and shot with my 70-200mm f2.8 rather than my 50 mm 1.4 prime. In my last attempt, I was getting very clear images but lots of shadows. Tonights game was at another gym. The… -

Re: RIP Full-screen Slideshow?
Yes. But it still has a border around it to contain the controls. It is not edge-to-edge full screen. Anyway, I have found that in the "Customizing the New Lightbox" provided by Leftquark, item 5. Make the image full width (navbars will overlap the photo) should do the trick. However, for some not obvious reason, it only… -
Re: I Propose an Experiment
This gets logistically more difficult as there are more pics to acknowledge! I'm using POST numbers. 1 No 2a Yes 2b No 5 Yes 8 Yes 10 Yes/maybe 12 No 17 Yes This is an interesting experiment - and I would agree that we all get waayyyyy too hyperfocused on things that nobody but another photographer would ever notice - BUT… -
"Hollywood" shots (C&C welcome)
C&C welcomed! First three from a shoot I did this afternoon. A friend is just wacky about 40s fashion and film, so we did a shoot inspired by the look of Hollywood portraits. We didn't copy any directly, but I was going for that kind of mood one way or another. Shot with a 7d, 420ex, 430ex and assorted modifiers. Grid and… -
San Antonio Riverwalk - Minus the River!
Every year, the city of San Antonio drains the San Antonio River to clean it up along the famous Riverwalk. They drain the water completely, then send crews in to pick up debris. There was a photo in the paper this week of a very large snake they found--couldn't tell if it was dead or alive but it was a mean-looking one! I… -
