Before & After from a Quick Walk in the Park

Even a quick walk in the park with a cell phone camera can produce some stunning resulst as you can see from the before (bottom) photo and the after (top) photograph. I did use Photoshop CS4 with a boost from the Topaz Labs Simplify to get it the painterly look. Considering I can’t paint, it seemed like the best option.

Look like it’s almost time for work for me. Have a great week! -RL

Overcast in HB

I started the overcast day with a walk at the park with the dog. It’s the first time in weeks. I certainly need the exercise. I couldn’t resist one quick snap with a twist of the Hipstamatic app with my iPhone 3GS. Can you guess the film and lens? It’s pretty simple: Lens – John S and Film – Ina’s 1969. Ok, it may be a little to geeky, have a great day. -RL

Downtown HDR

Robert — Sun, 27 Jun 2010 19:00:49 +0000

Just drinking some coffee this morning, playing around with a little HDR. I used my Canon Rebel 2ti shooting three exposures (+2, 0, -2) of this downtown location during my walk. I didn’t use a tripod, it’s always recommended, but at this location security tells you to stop taking pics if you have one.

I used Photomatix software for processing to combine the photos for the (HDR) High Dynamic Range. This bring the best of each exposure to the final image. The final touch was the artistic edgy touch added with the Adjust 4 plug-in for Photoshop from Topaz Labs.

It’s time for work for me. Have a great week. -RL
