September Photo Thread (big pics!)

[Stanley Edwards]

Not that this is the right thread but Lightroom is no more than a digital darkroom and is certainly a lot less capable at manipulating images than say, Photoshop.

I may have misread/interpreted your comment Stan but lightroom is great for straightforward processing (contrast, saturation, highlights, shadows and tones etc) but no good if an image needs lots of work/manipulation.

Don't think you misunderstood. Many people who don't use PhotoShop in depth seem to prefer LightRoom for the very reasons you mention. They actually get better results.

Isitme's shot shows some very subtle manipulation, but I would guess it was a quality shot initially that didn't need a lot.

Had a French market in Watford yesterday.

Spent a fortune on organic fruit and veg and picked up a lovely selection of cheese and pate's *mmmmmm Morbier*

Holy shit

never have photos of kittens made me want to steal them so much. WANT!!!!!

They are rather brilliant as kitten shots go.

Thanks... I think they're the cutest things I've ever seen and I wish I could take full responsibility for them looking so good.
I took 10 shots of them and I couldn't decide which to post, they all look gorgeous.

It's a cooking tray



Hope's it's not too obvious

the original looked pretty grim TBH, but i felt inspired to try to make it into something prettier

My first plunge into the competition I'm a point and shoot cheap digicam type, so all this filter talk is lost on me.

 

[dansumption]

Wow! Louloubelle's "ghost of a fish" is absolutely incredible (and particularly relevant to the Vik Muniz I'm reading at the moment)
