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)

The Notre-Dame-d'Espérance church (Eglise du Suquet) is a Catholic parish church located in the town of Cannes, France.

 

It is dedicated to Notre-Dame on the Place de la Castre in the Suquet district, and has been classified as a historical monument since July 28, 1937 [Wikipedia.org]

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.)

Edited this one in CS6 with nothing more than a pass of noise cancelation, slight curves adjustment, and sharpening on only the red and green channel.

WORKFLOW:

5 exposures merge to HDR in CS4, save as 32bit Radiance

Toned mapped in Photomatix 3, Save as 8bit Tiff

Adjusted levels, Hi Pass, Noise Reduction, Borders and Texts in CS4, save as Jpg

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

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).

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!

Karolina & Jacek - wedding session at Gdynia Orłowo

 

I must admit that I developed Delicious Recipes firstly for myself ;)

 

I just couldn't stand so many hours it took me to create satisfying colors through Capture NX2, so I struggled to find other way for processing with my beloved colors. And finally I developed them in Lightroom 4 with Color Efex Pro :)

 

Now I have such an easy way to get my RAW files developed. Now it takes 4-7 hours of work from import to LR to export for a 380-450 wedding. ( Time depends on lighting conditions and retouch needed ). Before, in CaptureNX 2 it took me rather 20-35 hours and it was definitely worth it, as colors were brilliant, but so time-consuming!

 

I share all the details of my actual workflow for Lightroom 4/5 + Color Efex Pro 4 in Delicious Recipes. All the instructions and tips, combined with all the recipes and presets needed to get beautiful results fast:
