Was trying to get here before the sun disappeared over a hill. Failed... the light changes so fast and fades so early this time of the year...

I think the second photo is the best profile shot I've ever taken. I really, really love it.

Thanks Kintaro

The bokeh on that Etsy listing is actually a texture layered on with Photoshop. However I don't really use bokeh textures very much anymore, unless I want a specific effect, so most of the bokeh you'll see these days are SOOC.

I do a lot of work with curves which is where the tones come from, mainly on the red and blue curves. I also play around with coloured gradients, saturation, black & white layers, and different coloured fill layers or coloured textures to get the effect I'd like.

At this stage I've saved a 'recipe' in Canon's Digital Photo Professional (like an action in Photoshop) that I particularly like and use it on most photos then tweak it to suit the shot. It's been a long process of experimenting, lots of fun, I really just like to play with colour a lot.

As regards to capturing the images in camera I usually shoot at wide open apertures for lots of bokeh and use mainly my Canon 50mm f1.8 or Lensbaby Composer. And I always shoot in RAW.

With the two shots above it was a matter of waiting for the right moment and having the sunlight in the right place. The snow was falling from the leaves in little sparkling drifts, so I played around with manual focus and shot of lots of frames to get the glittering effect I wanted

Can you post the original.

I could try and take this photo a hundred times and never get it again... Destruction in Motion



I like the light on this - absolute accidental. I hasten to admit

Fajitas!

I don't really want to take up much more of this thread, but I'll start a new thread out on the main forum.

Not much experience with the cam, mostly just still messing with settings. This one got a little bit of tweaking in lightroom to get rid of some of the orangy/yellowy tint from the lights behind me.

I was joking calling it Croke Park. I was lucky to get the shot as it started snowing and blocked all visibility but luckily it eased off.
