Some more from the Docklands Festival

Dimy

Well... I'm finished spamming the boardsie flickr groups with my docklands festival pictures! I finally finished processing them all. You can find them here

There's a couple of pictures there I'm pretty happy with and a few that I'm still not sure of if I should have bothered processing them at all

I've really enjoyed looking through them all, and I've made a few comments on my favourites too. I have a wee request though - how do you fancy sticking some comments on them yourself? You know, maybe what you were trying to get with the shot, what you like about it - or don't like even

I always like to read a bit of background about pictures, by the person who took them. makes it more interesting I think. I try to make the effort and do it for mine and people seem to appreciate it. Go on... you don't have to do them all...!

I might just do that, I already put quite some time in processing them all. I'll try and put some comments in some of them Although I'm not very poetic, I don't have any hidden messages or things I want to accomplish with my photo's, I just like to make pretty pictures

Thought the candids were excellent - the colours in the mexican leprechaun one(s) was excellent too - I can never seem to get those sorts of vibrant colours.

Btw Did anyone else think the 'smoking is bad mmmkay' one looked a bit like rene zellwegger ?

Yeah..... indeed she does! As for the colors... I was using a polariser filter and enhanced both contrast and saturation.

A wee trick that you might also like is the 'local contrast' thing - you use the unsharp mask at 20%, 50px and 0 for the last setting - instead of sharpening the image details, it bumps up the, well, the local conntrast isthe best way to explain it... just try it out and see what you think anyway, it does something that levels and normal contrast doesn't seem to do. It works on full size images out of the camera in a subtle way, and if you do it with a 800px image it really makes it pop...
