Hey there
I thought I might show these here. I just got Nik Silver Efex Pro V2 and thought I might show off some photo reduex that I had posted earlier.
Let me know what you think.
Pentax K20D
Sigma 28-70mm f/2.8-4 Something-Something.
1/25th, f/2.8, ISO 100
Lightroom and Silver Efex Pro - did some harsh maneuvering of the histogram and Boomified the Blacks.
Pentax K20D
Sigma 28-70mm f/2.8-4 Something-Something.
1/10th, f/4.0, ISO 100
Lightroom and Silver Efex Pro - Boomified the Blacks, again, and played some Fill Light back in. (I like the effect that gives) Also played with Silver Efex and its contrast settings.
Pentax K20D
Sigma 28-70mm f/2.8-4 Something-Something.
1/25th, f/11, ISO 100
Lightroom and Silver Efex Pro - Boomified the Blacks, brought it back with some Fill Light and also did some contrast work in Silver Efex.
Pentax K20D
Sigma 28-70mm f/2.8-4 Something-Something.
1/60, ISO 100, f/11
Lightroom and Silver Efex Pro - Really played in LR but when Silver Efex got hold of it, I just used one of the presets because I liked the result so much. Cheating? Easy way out? Maybe, but I liked the result all the same.
Sorry about the "Boomified" thing, but really, I have found that when you take the Blacks up to around 70 - 80, it really makes the image come to life with detail and contrast.
