I came across these on a photo blog a while back, and the discussion of classic pin-up styles in another thread made me wonder if they were ever discussed here. I did a search and came up with nothing, so here you go. Best I can get from the various blog posts he has on the subject is that...

I can't tell you explicitly what they did, but in knowing the tools of the digital darkroom (i.e. post-processing) you can achieve a myriad of effects that will enhance your studio shots. The most obvious thing I see here is a softening of the subject. This was achieved in the film days by...

OK, what about this with the additional contrast?

I've been trading some emails with my brother about the IR color scheme that exists on my photos from the Photowalk. I'd worked with him on getting a more cyan/yellow scheme, but as I processed the photos they seemed to shift. He built me a camera profile like the ones you'd use in Camera Raw...

I have a minty fresh copy of this that I got when I bought my D7000 along with Darrell Young's D7000 guide. This is essentially a more in depth and readable version of the manual, plus its spiral bound laminated cover and glossy pages make it a little less destructable. These run $10 new on...

I guess I should provide some details on the photo above. It's a 5 frame HDR shot with the D600 and 24-85mm zoom at 28mm. It was aspect corrected in Lightroom, merged in HDR Efex Pro 2, and then tweaked in Viveza 2 and Photoshop. The windows were extremely difficult to preserve in HDR Efex...

I want to try and get into Alexander Hall one of these days. It's probably most popularly known as the place where Tim Robbins delivers his speech in "I.Q.", but I have fond memories of many concerts there back in the 80's. Again, some day when school is not in session. It wasn't HDR but a...

That fountain is so hard to frame, primarily because it's so hard to get it without someone or something in the shot you don't want. I waited on the far side shooting back towards the Wilson School for a while (as I lost you guys) and it didn't matter. Going to need to stop in there on a...

And I couldn't help but laugh when I noticed how many of my photos that stupid wedding photographer got in!!

Got an email at 8AM from Google with a resolution to the issue I was having with Nik HDR Efex Pro 2. They stated 1-2 business days to get back to me, so I was rather thrilled to get something so quickly (I was going to call after 9). It seems that the software download link they sent out to...

I pinged Chris this morning asking about the metadata timestamp issue but haven't heard anything from her. Oh, and here's my statue shot. Do You Think This One Will Stop And Talk To Me?! (Rule #1: If you can't shoot a decent picture, at least write a decent caption!! LOL)

Thanks, Hark. No, the wedding was still going on. When I finally found the rest of our crew I asked if the bride was out yet when they went by at around 1:15 and they said she had just come out. My goal was to get pics, and I did. Would have been nice to be able to submit them on the walk...

So I took the day off today to do some personal stuff and to test out my new lights. I inspected the package when it arrived from B&H on Tuesday, but I didn't unpack all the boxes and set them up. That was my plan this morning, and as I did it I discovered that the two 250W Tungsten Bulbs...

Don't know about "perfect moment", but perhaps "perfect movement" :)

I installed the Beta release of LR 5 when it came out and purchased the full version from Adobe in June. I just got a pop-up stating that I am running the "Release Candidate Version" of the software and that has expired, and it wants me to download the full version. I've done that, and it still...

I am going to be using my D800 in a tethered setup with my Macbook to do some studio shots for a friend. Last week I went to the Nikon site and saw that they are selling this overpriced cable for $40...

There are enough of these photos that I figured they deserve they're own thread. Here's your first installment - the people watchin'.... "Honey, have you seen my chain maille tank top? I'm going out with the boys." Love Is Never Having To Care About Who Wears The Pants In The Family...

I've never done them before, but this price is enough to make me think about possibly trying them. I've never heard of these folks before, but they popped up as a promoted item on my Facebook page and, for once, I actually clicked through. $15 is for a 20 page 5x7 memory book seems pretty darn...

As seen at the Bethlehem Celtic Classic yesterday afternoon. There's no denying ancestry and skin tone. I wish they'd stop pinching my cheeks!! Daddy, why are all those other men dressed funny?! I believe someone over there is after me Lucky Charms!! I don't mind that he puts a...

My apologies if this located elsewhere, but what are the maximum dimensions for uploaded photos? In other words, what's the largest width photo I can upload without forum software automatically resizing the image for me? The reason I ask is that I normally export my images with a maximum...
