A Veterans Day Photo Retouch

November 11th, 2009 3 comments

I have an old photo of my dad in the US Army.  This photo predates me but I thought it would be interesting if I could try to restore and colorize the photo.   All the work was completed in Photoshop.   Here is the before and after.

Thanks to all vets for their service to our country.

Here is a photo that I recently processed and edited.   I really enjoy the contrast and “old-timey” feel of this photo.

Orioles Game

July 21st, 2009 1 comment

A week or so ago, we went to see the Orioles vs the Blue Jays at Camden Yards.    I’ve been to many games at this ballpark, its a great place to see a ball game.    The O’s lost but Mustard won!    (If you don’t know what I’m talking about, I always cheer for mustard in this race)  Anyways,  shot this pic with the point and shoot camera and dressed it up with a little image tweaking in Photoshop.  Enjoy.

Oregon Central Coast Painting

July 10th, 2009 1 comment
I don’t know what to call the style I’ve been dabbling in over the past weeks.   I realize its not realism but I never said I was trying to achieve that either.    I’ve often had a problem where I remember things more vividly and saturated that they really were.   So I try to get the picture to look like what I remember.  
In this before/after sequence you can see what I started with and how it ended up.    Note:   All the editing was done in Lightroom and Photoshop.
Got comments?   I’d love to hear them on this one.

My friend (Matt) visited Hilton Head Island last fall and snapped a great sunset picture.    I reframed the photo, processed in Lightroom, and then edited in Photoshop.    Then I turned it into a gallery print.   Enjoy.

Spring Dogwood Blossoms

Shot this one a while back but had never got around to processing.    The colors are a little pushed and I dampened the fill light to look more like a studio shot.  Enjoy.
