June photo-thread [Big pics!]

Firky's thread last month was a great idea, so let's continue onwards...

Took this yesterday up in north London:

Scaffolding

They're lovely, Mauvais

They're lovely, Mauvais

Agreed. The first one is particularly striking -- I love industrial landscapes!

I hate lily beetles. Kill them. Kill them all.

At Sainsbury's today...

I like the repeating patterns of trolleys and circles.

Shopping's my latest photo subject. I'm going snapping in Wandsworth shopping centre tomorrow

Mauvais is to Pshopped for my liking.

I was going to ask how much photoshopping went into those pics.

 

[mauvais]

Only levels, though on one per colour, then mostly curves and dust removal. Not a lot.

I really like the last one. The sky's brilliant. However there's something a bit distracting about the water, especially bottom left.

Have you done much sharpening? It could be that it's too crisp.

 

[mauvais]

Probably - I did some 'smart sharpen' after I resized em down, and I thought at the time i hadn't got it quite right. Something else was wrong first like the resize method. Meh, I don't know, I was sleepy

sorry about the other thread

Ermm yeh G8....

I'm thinking crop it more and tweak levels?

All looks a bit 'let them demo so long as they don't do it seriously' to me.


It's time to bring back firebombs and stuff as far as I'm concerned. Big ones. Big ones that look good on photos and actually cause damage.

In 20 years time there will be a festival called G8. It will costs £500 to buy a ticket for, but you'll have to present a valid passport to get a ticket. You'll have fun at the festival then you'll go home and work to pay for the money you borrowed to pay for the ticket.

Then you'll accept submission for another year.

Re: that picture of the girl that you posted. I had a play with it in Photoshop Elements. A bit of tweaking of Levels lightened it. Then Using Colour Variations with a bit of decrease blue and some increase green made a very great difference. The mud in the foreground turns out to be grass. Cropping is up to you, of course but I tried it and thought it improved the picture.
