(postprocessing on a laptop seems to be quite like developing film using the wrong acid..)

Friend of mine and fellow photographer of TTL.

These were difficult photos to get. I was using a 600mm lens and holding it steady on the flying raptor was nearly impossible. In addition the sun was setting behind the bird, so all I got, initially was silhouette. HDR and exposure adjustments with Adobe Lightroom helped.

she noticed that I was taking a picture of her, so, she posed :)

Reduced brightness and pushed the contrast right up on this one which brings out the colours. Tyres were in a cage - had to stick my arm through the bars up to my elbow (standing to righ of the POV) to get this shot without the cage bars getting in the way.

The beach where we are staying has the wonderful mixed colors of sand. As the waves deposit rocks on the shore, the sand shifts around the objects as the water recedes and sometimes interesting images emerge. As one might 'see' images in cloud formations, we found ourselves noticing such with the rocks and the sand.

This 'image' reminded me of a Queen, with high collar, from days gone by.

Thanks to r ♥ c e y t ♥ y for her wonderful presets that magically transform photos! The original was a ghastly garish green ... Raceytayed it is so much softer and lighter.

I really enjoyed playing with this photo found on Pimp My Pixels. THis is my first pimp my pixels attempt and the favorite pimp of the set. (I have 20 or so varieties of my first pimp my pixels attempt.

Pic taken in the Gevaudan Wolf Park, France

Last night, I intended to do some magician! Quite honestly, I went and searched for some presets on the internet and as most of them are for sale, I decided to do it myself!!

What you see to the left is the shot I took with my Canon 40mm Pancake Lens which was mounted on my 7D. Since the weather was cloudy, the saturation is poor and colors are senseless even if you adjust the temperature and W.B. correctly.

Anyway..

I spent about one and a half hour post processing on it. With Apple Aperture, even tiny details are adjustable. Colors, curves and so on. All are in the hand of the photographer in order to make what he/she wants.

Finally, you can see the result in the right side.

The most notable point I'd like to draw is that you will never achieve perfect result till you consider all adjustment of such post-production softwares as a whole. All have strong relation and magical interconnection through which you are able to revive your dead shots.

This is the last photo I edited using the Picnik tool in Flickr. Just after I did this Picnik was gone and replaced by aviary. Aviary can't do this.

it was a minicastle made of old and rusted coffee pots, and with all mirrors inside. Smashing!!!

Water dripping into a pyrex tub inside a green washing up bowl.

An old photo of mine I stumbled upon while browsing my images folder. Either under or over exposed, but at the time not deemed 'worthy'. Revived in sepia to hide infinite sins.

I frequently stop off at this vintage junked cars yard and take photos through the chain link and over the razor wire defenses. The old paint and rust do well with HDR techniques.

I've always imagined something like this when I hear the song... I don't know why...
