Taken for weekly photochallenge... using a gradient map adjustment layer for toning (colour). Some interesting effects; but not wholly convinced I'll be using it a lot. Still, useful tool to have available!

I believe that snails are largely underrepresented in photographs, and I also think that up close, they are quite interesting and beautiful, even if their slime trails are unpleasant.
In deciding how to best portray this little bugger here, I decided to put him on a similarly-colored and textured table where he could crawl around, allowing me to follow his natural progression. As I came around the other side of the table, he seemed to notice me, and propped his head up, which is when I started clicking.
Ultimately, I had over a hundred pictures of this guy and a friend of his - and it was quite hard just narrowing them down to one. In fact, you will see a second depiction in a little bit. But don't worry, it will be quite different and unique!
Lessons learned: don't be afraid to take tons of pictures. Besides being able to try many different perspectives, this also decreases the chance of being stuck with a bad exposure/iso setting, etc.. Because in the end, deleting files is just a click away, whereas the particular scene that was photographed is probably lost forever.
Processing: soft light layer + curves for contrast. Slight sharpening, brown gradient map + photo filter for slightly warmer tones.

The first shot of my second roll, black-and-white C-41 Ilford. Unfortunately the result was a bit brownish, so I had to help it a bit with gradient map...

they say imitation, even if done not exactly well , is the sincerest form of flattery.

I recently met a young guy named Jack on the way to photograph another car. He and his dad were outside working on the restoration of this 1960 Volkswagon Beetle when I drove by. I had to stop and take a few shots. Image property of BTSphotos.com. All rights reserved.

And yet another one with fabric that has been in my family for way too long. There are so many bedsheets nobody will ever let go of. I keep wanting to make this one into clothing, but my sister had enough trouble lending me the thing for the photoshoot. At least the sheet got its 15 minutes of fashion.
Here is a shot I recently shot of a hip hop artist CJ MACK. We did the shoot on green screen and I added some effects to give it a different style look. Im very pleased with the result!
The campus has a museum honoring General Sam Houston. They've done a marvelous job making the museum grounds a place of beauty and timelessness.
This is the sculpture situated at the entrance of Exchange Quay , Salford Quays in Manchester.....Photographed looking up directly through the centre from beneath it......it has been gradient mapped in CS3 to create this abstract look.
You'll either love it or hate it
This is, perhaps, one of the best works I've done in a very long time. I used a stock from Photoshop Creative magazine and some brushes. I'm actually very impressed by the overall turnout.
Once again, Gradient Map played a big part in the final product.
Oh yea, and I've been looking at a lot of these 'inspiration' articles and such and I'm starting to get that competitive flare that I've lacked for so long. Hopefully I can push out more images soon! In the process, I'm thinking of ditching the whole Forgery, SiB, 255 compilation idea (it's gotten rather difficult to categorize certain images), I'm going on a photography experiment. Gonna see if I can borrow my friend's Canon 450D and start experimenting with lighting and various settings.
Panorama of LRO elevation maps for the mid-latitudes of the Moon's southern hemisphere. (The image has been reduced significantly in size due to not having fast-enough bandwidth for uploading.) I converted the image to color with a lurid gradient map. (No reason other than I wanted to see what it looked like.) The light-red/yellow region near the bottom is the Aitken Basin, which may be a really large impact crater. The Moon's equator is at the top. The bottom of the image is far north of the Moon's south pole.
You can tint a color image and then reveal color selectively in parts that you want to. The tutorial is here : photoshopper27.blogspot.com/2010/12/vintage-effect-and-co...

I believe there is something of the mystery of God in all that exists...We can see it in the sunflower..

My father-in-law served in WWll with the US Army.
I have to work on Actions (and figure out what they are!), so instead I used a Black to White gradient map layer, on soft light. I also practiced making brush stamps! Fun!
