Ok its for my current employers, but it is an ad campaign, its an ongoing series and I get time off in Lieu for the work I do. If it all goes well It'll at least be sometjhing for my portfolio in the future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drstupid Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 Congrats, hope it all pans out well for you! As for the interview, it went well (i stuck my half baked attemp at the landscape in on the first page ). Just that horrible waiting game now... i guess i'll hear next week if i got in. Would still love to know how you'd have done the pic though bicks, as my photoshop skills are in their infancy at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drstupid Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 Off to test the new lenses down the park, will see what i get and might post some pics. I can't play at the mo as i've done my ankle ligaments in, but i can annoy them all with my paparazzi skills! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted June 17, 2007 Moderator Share Posted June 17, 2007 Ok Dr Stupid, send me the original later in the week and I'll have a go at it when my new Mac turns up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b23avfc Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 Took me a bit longer than expected to find this thread again... here's an oldie (not showing as sharp as it is, i'll have to resize it better later) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted June 26, 2007 Moderator Share Posted June 26, 2007 Had a go at your image for half an hour last night Bill and here's what I came up with Couldn't do the extended colour range thing because I haven't rebuilt the action on the mac yet (which means I have to remembe exactly how I did it first!) Might have a go at that later in the week EDIT: It looks like you have dust on your sensor too (top right corner), you may have cleaned it since though, just thought I'd leave it in case you hadn't noticed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drstupid Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 b23avfc - I like!, great colour rendition. Nice portrait. Gareth - Cheers for that, it's amazing how dull and washed out the original looks when compared to that one. Is this the 'Velvia' imitation that you used on one of your other images? (i think), it really pushes the colour. Would love to know what you did if it's not a pain in the arse. As for the sensor dust, i hadn't noticed it actually! There's another bit 3/4 of the way up the left side too, but i think the sensor cleaner's got rid of them now judging by this image from testing the new lenses last week. (one of the bonuses of the 400D) Also, if anyone is interested in some old Konica Hexanon lenses, i have three at the moment which i'm selling... 40mm, 50mm, 135mm, and a 300m tamron. All for Konica bayonet mount. Old school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted June 26, 2007 Moderator Share Posted June 26, 2007 Bill, its not the Velvia action I used before, its mainly using my eyes in the RAW conversion stage to boost the greens and yellows The I did a levels adjustment layer I also burned the left hand side mountains in the distance as they were a tad too light Also put a graduated filter layer on to darken the clouds I then cloned some clouds to stop the brightest area of the clouds from both looking burned out and drawing attention uneccesarily then I had to tone down railway ballast as it was a tad too red (did this with a mask and greyscale layer - reducing the opacity until it looked right) and thats it really Oh I have done a sharper version since but it won't be that noticeable at a size useable by this forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b23avfc Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 Was just beginning to wonder if anyone noticed me last image post I know Bicks did Last night I changed the montages on my first two pages of my website to something more lively and added another to a page that seems to be permanently under construction I'll be trying out a online ordering gallery system this week too, well by next week anyway.
