Thought I would have a go at some photo manipulation. I used a sky image from a tutorial file that I found in the RedBubble forum and just played around with the lion image. / / Challenge Cafe – Truly Blue Example
yesterday I attemped to have a conversation with someone about what consitutes a ‘real photographer’. rather that respond he reacted by telling me I’m a negative psyhco bitch, the only bad thing about Redbubble and should hurry out to buy razor blades and kill myself. no shit! I guess this means I’ll never be a ‘real photographer’ so to celebrate my freedom from the label of ‘real’ I’ve decided to concentrate on posting some UNREAL photographs. Here’s the first. This is a chance shot taken while someone slept in the set of an alternative theatre production some years ago. Vale Peter your real to me still though you are no longer real in a corporeal sense.
Pen and ink on cougar paper. I have the proper resolution prints I will put up soon. If someone is interested in any work of mine or services I provide, please E-mail me and we’ll talk about it. I’m brand new to this so I’m probably P*ssing the “old timers” off right now, sorry. Roger Davis rainwaves117@yahoo.com “Rainwaves” art gallery to open in 2009, I’ll keep you posted.
Another from my walk around at the hot rod meet, apologies if you are sick of them already but I have an addiction (and a slight twitch). / For this shot I waited until I got a clean break from people passing by in front of the camera (you know how it is). / A HDR of coarse, from 3 exposurres 2 stops apart, blar blar. Loaded into Photomatix and fine tuned the tonemapping. From there I opened up in PSCS3 and decided to go a slightly different route from my normal workflow for a HDR file. Decided to try hitting it with the noise filter (Noiseware by Imagenomic) first up off the bat so to speakand also cranck up the sharpening setting from within NW, something I’d usually do at the end of processing these kind of files. Then applied a gentle ‘S’ curve adjustment layer, dialed down the saturation but pumped up the red’s only. Last of all I hit it with my HighPass Sharpen action I made up, it’s nice and subtle. I made it by duping the orig layer, then apply HighPass at about .3 or .4, then change the layer blending mode to Vivid Light, some folks use Overlay but i choose not to. / Thats basically my entire workflow on this shot, hope it answers some question you may of had. / All the best

Early charcoal on paper… note the loose sketchiness which later disappeared… I’m trying to get it back at the moment.

This is the main Railway line from Penzance to London, the Midlands, North of England, Scotland, and South Wales. Taken on the stretch between Starcross and Dawlish Warren, Devon, England. This is a proper pedestrian crossing point on the track. Converted into B&W in CS3. Hope you like it. / Thank you for looking. Pentax K110D. / Pentax 18-55 lens Warning. The Railway Line is not a playground, and should be treated with respect. Keep looking and listening. / Thank you.
This image is a high quality print of an original painting by Tasmanian artist Deborah Conroy.
