There's something menacing about this gull ... I think maybe he was an extra in a Hitchcock movie
Thanks to les brumes for the use of Texture 16
Gear: Canon 40d with 50mm 1.8 cheapie but goodie and pocket wizards
Strobist Info: 3 White Lightning 800s, one camera right and above model with beauty dish, one snooted camera left 1/2 power, one camera right at 1/4 power. Fired optically. Lighting setup by Kevin Gliner and Steven Noryenko
About: Every now and then you run through a shoot where with one particular setup and one particular model nothing came back the way you liked it, but you sure as hell wish you had something to work with. This was the case here. The lighting's effect on the floor was phenomenal, but the effect on the model was less than desirable. Samantha has stronger features that can lend to hard-edged cast lines and very strong shadows. The goal here was to salvage the photo to a point that displayed a "sexy athlete" look and retain as much of a "photo" appearance as possible.
While there are purists who say they only like photos that come 100% from the camera, 99% of what you see in publications goes through one form of this or another.

The previous shot, edited as follows:
1. Create a duplicate layer
2. Apply the "increase contrast" colour curve preset to the top layer
3. Blend the two layers in Multiply mode, at 65% opacity.
4. Cropped

I've posted these before, but had the opportunity to post process using Adobe Lightroom 5. I really like the outcome of both. Please- critique. I am always open to learn new teqniques!

w/b 2/3 - The picture is an old warehouse by the docks in Ramsey, Isle of Man. I really liked the battered look of the building when I was there, and was disappointed with the original shot (see comments as usual).
This one took quite a bit of time for quite a subtle effect, but I'm quite pleased with the result...:
- Used the Perspective tool to add width to the top of the building
- Used the pinch and whirl tool to correct the resulting buldge
- Used the scale tool to give some hight back (it had started to look a bit chubby!)
- Adjusted the levels and saturation to bring the colours out and add some contrast
- Added a new layer with the sky on (from the same day to keep the lighting as accurate as possible)
- Selected out the blown-out sky and turned the inverse into a mask
- Tweaked the edges of the mask (this is the bit that took the time) using the airbrush to try and make it look as natural as possible
- Tweaked the colour balance to remove some of the blue cast (still visible on the white building the the right)
- Sharpened using the un-sharp mask filter
- Cropped to remove some of the distractions left and right.
Phew!
This is the rear end of one of the many species of duck that can be found in Central Park. While many ducks are content to flip upside-down and forage for food while keeping their rear ends raised above the water, this species of duck would fully dive and surface some distance away from its starting point. This made tracking it nearly impossible.
I was lucky when it resurfaced relatively near to my location, yet it dove again very quickly. I thought I'd missed it entirely, but was pleased by this end result. The ripples in the water created by the duck are also quite pleasing. Technically this scene can be attributed to the lens' extremely quick autofocus performance (wave motors are superb) and the high shutter speed (1/2000).
Shot with an E-520 and Sigma "Bigma" 50-500mm f/4.0-6.3 APO DG HSM lens with lens hood mounted. This was shot at 500mm (1000mm in 35mm film terms), hand-held and braced against a railing. Image stabilization may have been disabled for this shot (I can't remember). No cropping has been performed to the picture, although it has been straightened by 3.7˚. Aperture was locked at f/8 in order to afford near-maximum sharpness with the lens; ISO was locked at 1600 to keep shutter speeds up (sunlight shone through around this point and dramatically increased the speed). Some adjustments were made to the image in Apple Aperture 2, and finally the image was scrubbed with Noise Ninja to remove some noise (although it arguably was unnecessary).
'War' a 1906 sculpture by Bertram Mackennal (cast in bronze) inspired by the Roman goddess of war, Bellona.
She stands, in the sculpture gardens of the Australian War Memorial in Canberra, beside The Lone Pine Tree, grown from a pine cone collected at Galipoli (at the time of the Battle of Gallipolli) by a young soldier who's brother died in the battle. He sent a pine cone home to his mother and she saved it for over a decade before planting the seeds from the cone. Two trees grew from the seeds and she gave one of them to the Australian War Memorial. It is awesome...
