trinity

trinity, originally uploaded by u.linder.

a few days ago i was reviewing my pics. suddenly this one caught my eye! maybe because there is so much light in it compared with the dark series i have done before?

i took this pic and tried simulating a graduated neutral density filter and a digital cross processing look! i like the result.
what do you think?
after i posted it in my stream i realized that i took this pic exactly 2 years ago with my „old“ sony dsc-w12 during a habor tour in hamburg, germany.

camera: dsc-w12
exposure: 0.003 sec (1/320)

room with a view

room with a view, originally uploaded by u.linder.

this one was voted as the first ever winner of the pick of the week in a flickr photo group called kris kros contacts. i was very supprised winning this contest because of so many brilliant conternders! none the less i am very happy about it 😉

i took this picture inside one of these special places i mentioned. to be honest this one was done more or less by accident, so i am sorry, but there is no interesting story behind this pic.

i shot a lot of rooms, and then i thought, „ok, lets try something with the autotimer“. i only shot one pic with the autotimer, this one you see here. back home i looked at all my pics and i thought „oh, not that bad“…
ok, it was a little overexposed. i played around with the raw-file and then i thought: „this could be cool“.
i changed the exposure compensation, added a lot of shadow contrast and suddenly the reflection in the window appeared… in photoshop i dublicated the layer, added a black radial gradient overlay in between both layers to darken the bright window. for the upper layer i used the unsharp mask and changed the layer opacity till I thought it’s ok. i used a filter called melanchytron to get this melancholic look and finally i desaturated it a lot.
that’s it!

please wash your hands before sit down for lunch!!, originally uploaded by u.linder.

this is my favorit shot from the series done during the tour with mace2000. i love the colors and the light gradient on the flagstones. sure there was a little assit from ps and gimp but the main postproduction work was adding a lot of contrast and desaturating a little bit.

i do not want to bore someone to death with the whole series here, but if you are interested you can take a look at my flickr account to see the whole series from these special places.

come in, door is open!, originally uploaded by u.linder.

this was also done during a tour with mace2000 to thhe hornisgrinde.

here i used some layering techniques and effects to get a more strange look and feel. main effects are unsharp mask and artificial highlighting with overlay layers.
