red dots

, originally uploaded by u.linder.

i took this nearby my last pic + one +. i think it is some kind of water connection.
the main techniques i used here are:
– desaturating the raw-file
– saturating the same raw-file
– layering both files (converted to jpg before ;)) in ps. the desaturated on top of the desaturated
– unsharp mask the uper layer
– cut out the red knops and the copper connection
– cropping
– adding a vignette
– save and post

one, originally uploaded by u.linder.

this one was taken underneath my last pic ‚x-pro‚.
the postproduction work on this was very simple. i only did some contrast adjustments, desaturating it a lot and some selective color stuff with the two crosses and the 1. ok cropping of course 😉

cross processing is a term which describes the procedure of deliberately processing photographic film. but because i do not shot on film a have to simulate this cross processed look digitally. i found this tutorial which is originally done for photoshop but also works with gimp which i used. i think it worked very good…

the pic was done at the hockenheim ring race track. what you see here is the back of one of the tribunes.

if you want to get idea where i shot this one you can click here.

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.

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!
