Misc Product shot - Pentax K1000 - which PP?

Product shot - Pentax K1000 - which PP? · 04:48 PM

Im trying to decide which PP process suites the subject best

#1: First the RAW converted to Jpeg with normal simple LR3 PP

#2: My normal PP to jpeg's after converting from RAW to give them a bit more punch

#3: Next we have #2 but with a spotlight esque vignetting added

#4: A new process I discovered in LR3, no editing outside of LR

#5: #4 but with the vignetting added

#6: a B&W version of #3

#7: a B&W version of #4

so which is best in your opinion?

Ah! A K1000! My first camera when I was 15 years old :-)

I prefer the top photo. All the others I find I am looking more at the backdrop than the camera.

I like #3. The vignetting puts the focus on the product very well. And I prefer the darker tone of #3 slightly over #5.

Pretty shots!

3 and 6 for sure, tho in all of them I wished there was a lens on the K1000

I kind of like #3.

Boy, seeing a K1000 sure brings back the memories here!

This was just a product shot for a friend, who wanted the camera plain and bare

Very cool

#3 for me. The vignette draws my eye in to the camera.

#3, seriously? That vignetting is way too overbearing in my mind...

annemari · 04-22-2011, 03:54 AM

For me the B&W works best

seriously. Its not meant to be normal "subtle" vignetting but more like a spot light bringing your eye straight to the camera (which in my opinion it does nicely).

To each their own and thanks for the feedback!

Which one?

ajlec2000 · 04-22-2011, 10:47 AM

As a product shot I think number five is the best. It seems to depict the product condition most clearly.

I'd pick 7 for a desktop background as I like the textures and of course the subject.

annemari · 04-22-2011, 12:59 PM

Both.

I just feel that black and white is right for this camera

4Vn_Shotter · 04-22-2011, 04:53 PM

I like the first one most.
your K1000 is great
