How it was edited: I use Apple Aperture to edit photos. So first, I hit auto-levels, which is a magical button that makes almost everything look 100% better. This brightened the photo too much, so I lowered the brightness 5%, bumped the contrast a bit, and increased the saturation to 130%. This got me pretty close to what I wanted, but it still needed more. I adjusted the white balance some, to make it more yellow (it was taken just before sunset, after all). I cloned out one funny speck of dust that was on the sensor (damn dust spots!). Finally, I bumped up the teal and yellow saturations separate from the overall saturation of color, and gave it a tiny vignette. I'm very happy with the final result!
Pizza palace, Trinidad, Cuba.
Original camera: Panasonic DMC-FX5. Postprocessed using Polagen (http://polagen.deviantart.com/).
This was processed in Photoshop CS3 by converting to b&w, then adding some filter effects for a semi-sepia look, followed by posterizing for the pinkish tint, and adding poster edges to create outlined details..
This is our resident bobcat. I couldn't get close enough for a super nice shot, so I enlarged the face in place.
The lighted holiday star above Boulder, CO. Original at bottom right. Some filters applied. Now we're havin fun...
This is a very close up of the water entering our upper pond. A little enhancement gave it to color and produced this abstract photo.
i shot this with a point and shoot out the window of a plane and post processed to get the tilt shift miniature effect, unplanned for the post processing when i shot this (duh) just a lucky find in the hard drive for this effect
this has got to be the toughest cowboy there ever was, not to mention his horse all caught up in cactus. the roughest, most romantic rider of the wild west.
Normally I find myself adjusting raw images to make them look more natural. Here I tried adjusting one in the opposite direction. The shapes in the image cooperated with each other better than I expected.
Beans, beans are good for your heart
The more you eat the more you fart
The more you fart the better you feel
So eat your beans with every meal
Ah, poetry.......................
When doing portraits for kids, I usually take some time to have them do some silly faces. It helps put them more at ease and sometimes make the best photos.
The second of the two-parter. I had this crazy idea to do a picture that looked like when a character had to eat a boot in old cartoons. I added the colored vignette, desaturated it, and upped the clarity to give it an otherworldly feel.
