Combat












I didn't do much of anything to these photos other than color correction, and some other small corrections. I figured I should probably keep from adding softlgow, and thereby creating more of a feminine feel...These are, after all, fight shots.

Photoshoot: Part II

This one was cropped, sharpened, and slightly desaturated.

I cropped this photo, then made it black and white.

I started out by sharpening this one; I then made it black and white, cropped it, and added some softglow.



Once again, this one was cropped and sharpened. Then I added softglow, sepia-toned it, and desaturated it.

This shot was warmified, desaturated, and then cropped.





I cropped this, warmified, and then desaturated.

So...there you have it. There may or may not be a part III--I'll have to see about that. There will, however, be a new post very soon, with pictures of hand to hand fighting. Should be interesting.

Photoshoot: Part I

All I did with this picture was to simply change it from its original color to black and white.

This one just needed a little sharpening.

I sharpened this one, added some softglow, then cropped, added more softglow, sharpened again, then turned it into a black and white.

This one didn't need much, I just sharpened it and cropped it.

For this one, I sharpened it a little, then warmed up the color tone. This created an odd orangey-brown tint, so I did some auto tuning, sepia-toned it, and then desaturated it.


I started out just sharpening this one. Then I decided to add a bit of soft focus and glow.

First, I made this black and white. Then I added softglow and sharpened it up.

This one started out a bit blurry, so I sharpened it, saturated it, and added softglow. I made it black and white, then cropped it and added grain.


This one started out as just a normal picture with a dull color to it. I tried to brighten it up a bit and give it some interest by first cropping it, warming up the tone, and then adding some soft glow.

For this shot, I began by sharpening. Then I warmed it up, desaturated it, and, once again, added some softglow.

This one was quite simple--all I did was make it black and white.

I cropped this one, added soft glow, then turned it into a black and white photo.

Hopefully by tomorrow I'll have part 2 up.

More People....

I was looking through my archives and found some really cool people pictures I haven't posted yet. Here you go...enjoy.

This one was a candid shot that I took in the middle of a photoshoot. She was looking up and about to say something when I snapped it. I sharpened it a bit, added some glow and VOILA!


I desaturated this photo a bit and then added a bit of grain to give it a softer look.


This photo was shot just after the last one, and is, again, a candid shot. Sometimes those are the best. I shot it in black and white, so I did very little to it, other than add a bit of a glow and slightly saturated it.

This is a candid shot of my older brother. I didn't do much editing, aside from a wee bit of sharpening. Unfortunately, I don't know why that black dot is on his ear. I'll have to get rid of that somehow.

Slideshow


Unfortunately, the sound got messed up in the video, and it ends up being pretty loud and funny sounding...
