EXPLORED!!! Highest position: 20 on Wednesday, June 24, 2009

Another b&w... Things are getting BETTER and BETTER!!! I'm busier than I've been in these late weeks,
I got some difficult and interesting assignments and sometimes it's hard to make everything work together.
I'll keep you updated.

I'll be posting some shots I got at the party where I worked at on tuesday. Pretty satisfied with them.


The shot
I saw this boat, I placed the tripod and shot. Composition isn't perfect, but I still like it.

The Processing

I processed it as a color image, but, when I finished my work, I converted to b&w and decided to keep it that way.

Photoshop:

- Switched to LAB mode and applied two curves to improve contrast and tones
- Back to RGB, added a vibrance layer to boost up minor tones
- Created two Overlay layers to adjust light
- Used color balance tool to improve colors
- Converted to Black and White
- Resized
- Noise reduction with Neat Image
- Sharpening (Smart Sharpen + more accurate)
- Framing and signature.

Take a look at it, LARGE on Black :
