Thanks... haha, come to think of it, it was a pretty eerie place to be driving around.

Pretty tough to spot without the before pic though. the one thing that sticks out to me the most is the lack of far leg on the lifeguard chair. haha The person's head was blocking it and i didn't have much to use to recreate it, from a cloning perspective anyway... so i just left it off. It's the first thing i see when i look at it. On hi-res you can see there is a guy in the water with a funny looking arm as well.

Here is one from my Euro Delivery.

M_Six · 12-09-2010, 01:32 PM

^^^^^^Nice. Both pics, actually.

I so want to do the Euro delivery bit some day.

UdubBadger · 12-09-2010, 04:52 PM

a touch over done for my taste. Is that an HDR conversion or a filter?

UdubBadger · 12-09-2010, 05:09 PM

This is auto tone, shadow/highlight with midtone contrast boost and lucis art 3 ED filter then an overlay of saturation on the background.

great stuff guys, here's my contribution.
one of my favorite type of edits is to take a boring color photo and make it "pop" by converting it into a black & white

I was playing around with some of the new stuff in CS5. Adjustment brush, and "filters" in raw processing, a few other things. I'm still working on figuring out everything it can do.

Taken at local Cars and Coffee meet. Believe the owner is a member on M3post, not for sure though..

Before & After. Cropped, levels, healing tool, then noise (dust/scratches) on the background, and a 20% yellow filter. Not too sure how to take the guy on the left out. and the little reflection on the driver side headlight..PS CS4. I'm an amateur so any tips and advice would be greatly appreciated! Thx

M_Six · 12-11-2010, 12:46 PM

Didn't take too long. Just some patience. Lens flare is a hassle to fix.

M_Six · 12-11-2010, 01:04 PM

And with a washed out sky like that, you can spruce it up with a light gradient.

bpsu07 · 12-12-2010, 12:03 AM

Oh wow, how'd you do that? lol. Yea that day I had like a lens flare fetish or something...I guess been a while since I shot and I like the natural flare..
