YoThatLimp Posted December 13, 2014 Shopped! Hah, nothing but basic adjustments in Lightroom, single exposure. The full moon was to the left of the photo and a power plant was to the right which caused a neat color difference. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thrik Posted December 24, 2014 Just got back from a weekend away at a forest lodge with my family, which provided a lot of great photo opportunities. I'm really looking forward to getting stuck into sorting them out over Christmas as it's been ages since I've gotten to have a good play, but I did find a little time to Lightroom the shit out of this one tonight (click for the 4K monster): I think I went a bit overboard with the grading and something about the framing bothers me, so I'll be revisiting this one when I do the full batch. But I'll tell you what, editing photos on a 5K screen is god damned excellent. I can't wait until every monitor ever is like this. It's also weird because to edit photos how they look at 100% on a normal monitor you have to use 200%. It's going to take me a while to get used to the implications viewing images this way has on sharpening — I hope I didn't get it too wrong here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Salacious Snake Posted December 24, 2014 I love it! I too am afraid of going overboard sometimes, but it's liberating to just fucking do it. Like, I agonize over using synth effects that can come off as "cheesy," and then I listen to a Major Lazer song and I realize I need to stop being afraid. As you can see in my last dog picture, I am loosening up a little when it comes to messing with the colors. My instinct is always to try to make things look as close to how I perceive them in person, but it's fun to stylize a bit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YoThatLimp Posted January 15, 2015 Beautiful shot! I just got home from my trip from New Zealand visiting family, it was fantastic. A lot of the south island water is so blue because of rock flour.

Nachimir Posted January 27, 2015 Some great stuff there, yothatlimp! This is the Basin Stone, where the Chartists and various other radical and working class movements held public meetings in the 19th century: Where I live used to be one of the richest areas in the UK, with mills and transport links filling the valley bottoms. All that's left now are some fancy architecture, the canal, a fraction of the railway stations that were built, and this rock. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Salacious Snake Posted February 11, 2015 Looking at this last page of stuff makes me want to get out of the city! Awesome pictures. My usual subjects: the NYC skyline and a dog Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YoThatLimp Posted February 12, 2015 Whoa, The Basin Stone looks awesome! Love the skyline and pup pics, I wish my dogged was cool with pictures, she hides the second I take my camera out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YoThatLimp Posted March 13, 2015 So I have been experimenting with off camera flash and portrait photography. My Niece turned three, but her bday party was cancelled due to snow so I took the time to experiment a bit. Not perfect, and the background was a bit tough as there aren't any good walls that were just blank (see the dumb piece of time on the right hand side). I don't have much experience "instructing" people during "photo shoots" so starting with a kid was tough. *edit* Just going to post links to my google drive, don't really want to put these on flickr/imgur and the thumbs forums don't really like the google drive links https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3RjYe_SCWxPandqemo5c3hXWjA/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B3RjYe_SCWxPRUlzSVZXQUlzS28&authuser=0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Salacious Snake Posted March 14, 2015 As an exercise to learn my way around Lightroom, I tried to recreate the effects of an Instagram filter (Nashville) using split toning and the tone curve. I ended up happy with the result, even though it's not quite right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dr Wookie Posted May 13, 2015 Thanks! I spent 5 years in the US, and had a great time . New England is a good gateway drug to the rest of America for us Europeans !

Salacious Snake Posted May 15, 2015 I love this bird picture, holy poop. DSC00609.jpg by J.D. Cohen, on Flickr DSC03873.jpg by J.D. Cohen, on Flickr DSC04725.jpg by J.D. Cohen, on Flickr DSC00900.jpg by J.D. Cohen, on Flickr I feel like it's a bad look that I'm too lazy to title things, but I still have a gross watermark on everything. Like someone is going to want to steal DSC00900.jpg, or will even stumble on it without tags or a description or anything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
