I know how you are feeling looking at another person's work and wondering how do they get that look. That shit happens to me every damn day lol. I'm happy to share insights on how I do my own processing, no problem. I think the light itself is what you should be searching for if you're looking for a different kind of feel from your photos. These shots are all in shadow, so the light is flat. I know you can't always control that, but it's always something to keep in the front of your mind still. As far as post goes, maybe ease off the blacks or contrast, the shadow areas all look a bit deep. Also, use the histogram to reference your highlights in case you aren't already.

Also, do less of the dodge and burn brush or whatever local exposure adjustment is that you're using. I can see the edges sometimes and it isn't natural looking. Use larger more "global" adjustments" unless you are going to really get in there and get accurate with your masking.

I downloaded some LR5 presets last night as well so i'm running thru those to see how they fare. I saw an ad for them on fstoppers and found them on IPT

I need to learn how to dodge and burn. I've heard of the technique before but I've yet to watch tutorials on it

thanks Bill. I want to change up the finished product though. I love the crisp-ness of the image since it resembles what you see when you look in the viewfinder after taking the pic, BUT even with adding a gradient filter and a satin filter in Ps, the photo isn't coming out how I like.


the finish that I am trying to get is like what you see in Adam/Chef and Nate's photos that are above

back to lightroom/photoshop tutorials for me
I've been using curves for color editing, but it's a series of modified presets I've sort of gotten to where I like. I'll say that I always have a hard time getting images I like with a lot of green in them, they always seem way too bright/yellow/something. Can't ever really adjust appropriately.

removed some of my posts because i am having a problem with flickr. on some sites, the pictures are the correct color when i uploaded them. other times, the images show up way too dark as if someone added too much exposure to them.

trying to find out what's happening

it was weird man. if i upload a picture on my imac to flickr, the picture looks the same as it was composed before uploading.

once i go to look at my flickr account on my ipad.iphone, those same pictures that were uploaded look way darker for some reasoning. i've been tearing my account apart as of late. even when i try uploading the files to my joomag account for placing in my online magazine, the same crap happens

hmm, i really like this photo. i had to crop a bit of it down in LR to get the correct basic composition but i'm glad that with the presets for LR that i downloaded helped me achieve the correct color and clarity that I'm happy with. the clarity and sharpness in the details of the orange rig stands out as well. i learned that in some photos you have to increase the noise in certain areas because if you decrease it too much, you loose what you're trying to bring out

I'm not much of a photographer, but I have three comments:

1. There are some color issues at the top of that plume of dust - it turns purple - not sure if that's on purpose or not
2. With that wood pole being so far out of plumb, the photo makes me feel like I'm going to slide off my chair - not sure if that is intentional either
3. Your watermarks are always aligned with the left size of the image, but offset from the bottom - why not even gap all the way around?

Noise is awesome. Not in portraits or some landscapes, but it's awesome.
