Description "Darkness, nighttime, no moon in the sky tonight.
Feeling like our lives been sucked away, today."

Need to get out and shoot more. But have been busy. I couldnt find a category that suited this better.. Probably more of a manipulation then a photo.. perhaps. I dont know. Let me know your thoughts.

Shit, this really feels like Apocalypse. I like how you captured the silhouette of the buildings with the warmth of the sun on the highlights of the buildings. Good work.

If you think Perth is boring, you need to look harder.
We are very fortunate to have such a beautiful city.

I knew you'd say that. I know its beautiful and all, but that doesn't do a lot entertainment wise.
Still think its boring

bah... you can take photos and stuff to keep you entertained. Well, so can I, but its not the same.
Besides, I don't like getting out. I'd rather stay at hmoe than "hit the nightclubs" or whatever it is normal people do

xxqueenxofxskemexx In reply to Silver-Amphiptere [2007-06-01 15:05:49 +0000 UTC]

Then doesnt that mean you're the one that limiting yourself in what entertainment there is in Perth?
I dont like clubs either.

Of course it does. But I am a hypocrite, amongst various other things
I just wish there was more in Perth, is all.
...
actually, all I really want is broadband. Then I'd never have to leave the house, and there'd be no more complaining about how boring perth is.

That guy who rides his bike with alfoil covering his helmet is amusing, though.

I have broadband. I wish I didnt. I might do what I did with television. And not have it.

Hehehe... crazy perth people. There's a bloke near where I live called Maddog, he rides this bike everywhere., pulls up alongside traffic and barks at them through their window.

Looks rad. Care to elaborate on your PS steps?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

xxqueenxofxskemexx In reply to MalcomX [2007-05-31 00:39:21 +0000 UTC]

Nothing fancy really. I shoot in RAW so I messed with the RAW settings that PS gives you. Amped up the shadows and contrast and possibly did something whack to the light.. Changed the temperature of the shot.
Put Vignette to black and max, but then noticed that the clouds good better at 100% while the buildings retained more light at around 80%. Opened both up and cut out the buildings from one and added them over the other. WOO!
So pretty much completely no method in this. Just played with all the slidey bars and hoped for the best.

You might want to try [link]
those photoshop actions (they work in CS2, dont know about other versions) they do a similar thing by the looks of it.

I shall have a look at them. i dont usually favour actions scripts. Id rather mess with things for myself..
And I use CS2 so all is well!

MalcomX In reply to xxqueenxofxskemexx [2007-05-31 03:18:42 +0000 UTC]

Yeah thats fair enough, but the you can look at the individual steps the actions take and the actions are somewhat influenced by the inputs you give it.
