Little Type illo for RBMA The Daily Note

Here is a little behind-the-scenes of my creative process. With every one of my designs I try to flush things out early on with quick sketches and color studies before diving into generating the assets.

 

This is an example of my Signalera piece, where I started with a very quick sketch of composition, then a study in Illustrator, and the final piece.

HDR Workflow

 

When I was in Kawaguchiko, all my compositions tried to include the glorious Mt. Fuji. When the iconic mountain became shy, I completely ignored it's presence and just composed the photo as a normal sunset.

 

This is one of those photos that I think came our right after the HDR merging. I didn't have to mix the original photo just to bring down the HDRness of the image.

I noticed a blogger saying this regarding a photo I posted last week:

 

"I really appreciate that this photographer takes the time to document how he arrived at the final photo. I wish more iPhonographers would do that."

I agree, and I'll expand on this today by summarizing my workflow from start to finish. I hope this will be helpful to other iPhoneographers and also serve as an example that post-processing, for many of us, involves a lot more work and consideration than snapping a photo, passing it through an app and uploading it to flickr.

Unglaublich wie schnell die Kreuzspinne ihr Netz baute, ich bin sehr froh das mir diese Aufnahme gelungen ist.

 

Unbelievable how quickly the cross spider built her net. I am very glad that this picture has succeeded me.

Discover My New Portrait Editing Workflow!

 

In this series, I’m sharing the before and after of my portraits to show how my editing process has evolved.

 

The RAW photo: I always start with a clean, well-lit image to have a solid base.

 

Editing with Evoto AI: Then I use Evoto to refine the skin naturally and efficiently, preserving texture and authenticity.

 

Final touches in Photoshop: Finally, I make color adjustments and fine-tune the look for a harmonious result.

 

If you’d like to learn more about my experience with Evoto, you can read the full article on my blog.

I hope this inspires you and gives you new ideas for your own portrait retouching!

First, Happy Thanksgiving To Everyone. Second DO NO TRY THIS AT HOME.

 

The following is how I edit my photos from my camera to Flickr.

 

1. Take an insane amount of photos of everything that you see in burst mode. I shoot everything in raw and large jpeg. I usually take a burst of 3 photos for every subject. For something like a marathon, my trip to San Francisco, or my day at the Lone Star Rally that would translate to 5000 photos. I took close to 30,000 photos in Japan. If we hadn't had 2 typhoons move through while I was there it would have been closer to 50,000. If you have quit laughing now please read on.

 

2. I transfer the 64 gb sd cards to my Windows 7 desktop. I usually do this one card at a time since I never have more than a 100 gb of storage left.

 

3. After uploading a sd card I go though and delete each out of focus shot or anything that just looks really off. Hopefully I cleared up enough room to upload another card. If not I try to see what I can part with and delete that. Eventually I will get everything into my Windows photo editor. The editor only sees jpegs and I have to move the cards over to my Mabook Pro in order to see the raw files.

 

4. The next step is to pick the best photo out of each burst. Sometimes the tired X-T1 misses every shot in a burst but really that is mostly my fault.

 

5. Go through the best shots and decide what to actually keep and edit in Lightroom. I try to remember that Lightroom can work wonders on some photos. Hopefully, I culled heavily but that is another problem that I am working on.

 

6. Rename all of the keeper photos so that I can find them in Lightroom. I am sure that there is an easy way to do this. This actually takes a really long time for me.

 

7. Transfer all of the photos to be edited onto another sd card.

 

8. Finally, turn on the Macbook Pro and import all of the photos into Lightroom.

 

9. Apply some sort of edit to the first photo and hopefully that can be applied to most of the photos in the upload.

 

10. Go back over every photo and make any minor adjustments that are necessary.

 

11. Go back over the photos one last time and cull any if necessary.

 

12. Finally, they can be uploaded to Flickr.

 

And that is how not to do it. (I actually really, really do it this way. It is possible that I even left a step or two out.)

I am currently working on updting my workflow to produce more prints of my photogrpahy and hpefully improve the results of my edits. There is some amazing new technology being releaed and it feels as though the software and editing options are gong through somewhat of a revolution with key software dying off and new mobil editing options becoming available. I will have more details once I have settled on a new workflow…

Le Suquet is the old quarter of Cannes, probably best known to tourists as the climbing, winding cobbled lane lined with local restaurants, Rue St Antoine. Le Suquet contains a clock tower and church that sit high facing east overlooking the Bay of Cannes and Cannes itself. At the bottom of Le Suquet on Rue Dr. P. Gazagnaire is the Marché Forville, where the market is held in the mornings and early afternoon.

 

This area is the original fishermans' residential area of Cannes. The houses are all very old. The streets were laid out at least 400 years ago. It is a 5-minute walk from the beach and is full of restaurants around the Rue Saint Antoine and the Rue du Suquet. A lot of the area is pedestrianised and is a major tourist attraction for visitors to Cannes.

 

The rue du Suquet is the original main road into Cannes. It came in below the walls of the castle (for defence reasons). It is a pedestrian street again and has plenty of restaurants [Wikipedia.org]

Location: layby Portaferry Rd. Workflow: Original shots taken on a Sony A6000 with a Tamron 17-70 F/2.8. Two HDR images created, each from 3 bracketed shots in Hugin. The two HDR images converted to TIFF & stitched together into a panorama in Hugin. The stitching, not perfect Hugin had problems placing control points. Residual distortion corrected in GIMP, finishing touches Darktable.

Located in the heart of the glamorous city of Cannes —close to the Palais du Festival and famous Croisette walk— the Vieux Port de Cannes has been a long time favourite port of call for boats of all sizes. A wooden quay in front of the Capitainerie can accommodate yachts up to 40m there (50m upon request)

Creating actions for future weddings is so much fun. Now I have pretty nice workflow developed.

 

New Presetr Fuji 400H preset as an import preset in Lightroom. Then I run the whole exported JPG folder through automated Photoshop action, which adds two Alienskin Exposure custom presets with film grain and a bit faded toning.

 

Most important part is the scaling, which I do atm. with the "Bicubic automatic" setting in Ps. It sharpens the grain to look even more like film.

 

I'm not after film look because it's film, but because it looks 'organic' (=more alive).

The dividers that follow are "inbox", "actions", "agendas", "projects", and "reference". I use the inbox for note taking, and when I process the notes remove them from the section. So if it's working the inbox is close to empty

Oh noes! I realized something was wrong with the workflow I was designing. Went back to sketches and BAM, fixed it.

So today I noticed that the Beta 2 for Adobe Lightroom 3 was out, and I decided to give it a shot. Never really understanding what was that different between LR and Bridge/ACR, I decided to give it a try. What the heck, can't beat the price.

 

Well, thus far, I love it. I did everything to the image posted here in LR (including uploading it to Flickr!), and it was fairly intuitive for someone already familiar with Bridge/ACR. I LOVE the brushes, too! My only concern is that since I can do so much in LR, I will be lazy and not go into PS when I only anticipate making minor adjustments there.

 

The second purpose of this post is to invite you all to the Disney Photo Challenge Group. While I'm sure many of you are already members, for those who aren't, this is a light-hearted group with topical challenges. It's not an ordinary "awards" group nor is it a critique group. It's more a fun and community type group...it also happens to be my favorite group on Flickr. So if you haven't checked it out, give it a shot; you might have a good time there, too!
