Post-Processing Challenge #40-- Down by the Station.

JeffJS · 02-15-2011, 09:56 PM

It's my pleasure to host the 40th Post Processing Challenge.

You can grab the files here..

Post Processing Challenge #40

The photo was taken with a K7 and the DA12-24. These houses are located near the Michigan Central station in Detroit, off of Grand River Ave (for anyone who knows the area). I though they were, let's say interesting.

If you have trouble grabbing the original out of camera files, write me with an email address and I'll send them to you.

Make this one as difficult as you can for me, go crazy, show me what you can do with them. No limits or preconceived notions of how it should look.

Have fun..

I haven't played this one in a long time, but you have given me an idea, Jeff, so I went crazy and brought on a flood...

I decided to step a bit closer and go classic B&W. My first try at a pp challenge btw

Some cloning, adjusting contrasts, saturation, convert to IR and BAM!

**BigDave** · 02-18-2011, 05:15 PM

OH, and I added a model (ghost)!

So, you are also imagining things... You can't win the 12 - 250 2.8 Pentax Di copy that way.

Maybe some day when I have an infinite amount of time I will learn how to exploit some of the things my post processing software will do but, until then, I have chosen to zoom in on this particular house because I like the mural visible through the upstairs window.

Down in the corner, out in the street...

I just decided to focus on the interesting (to me) bit. Cropped, sharpened, curves adjustment. Please forgive the copyright on the other entry. I had forgotten that Picassa does that automatically now.

straightened, cropped, showdows/highlighs adjusted, sharpened, and lightly posterized!
