Editing Game

[brambor]

In past editing game I let you guys play with a jpg. This time I'll

give you RAW and jpg. I have this shot I like but for some reason I'm

drawn to it with a strong color cast. You can download it here:

Rene, I didn't think that I could like your shot any more then I already did, but thumbs

up to the colored version. The high pressure sodium street lights do have a weird

golden glow that has to be reckoned with or embraced.

[EricM]

i love this shot, well done man.

[michael s.]

Glad you reposted, Rene. Saw this on the other thread and meant to tell you: good feel on this photo.

 

I like both versions. Big help, eh?

[terry_rory]

Lovely shot. I though of panorama....

Here's a possibility.<div></div>

Great image Rene. I prefer the first one..I really liked where you were going with the toning,

so I went that route. Two versions: the first is very blue. It just worked for me. I liked the

image a bit darker with more focus on the light and shadow. I intentionally blew out the

highlights and blacked out the shadows. The second image is a tritone to get it more towards

a platinum or palladium print. <P><img src="http://www.stuartrichardson.com/rene-

Sorry!<div></div>

Would love to try my hand at some editing, but how does one open the CR2 version in Photoshop ? It seems to ask for Pixel height/weight etc. Thought I would avoid the JPG since each "save" would degrade the image ...

Not as poetic as the others -- just simple white balancing.

Lovely original shot. Trevor's panorama is my favorite as the composition feels balanced.

[eliot_rosen1]

I like the first one best, the second one is just too red, though a sepia version might be nice. It could just be my computer screen, but I'd like to see a little more detail at the top of the building, which is too dark. But without lightening the rest of the picture, in which the lighting semms perfect for the mood.

[eliot_rosen1]

Saotome's version is close to what I had in mind.

[eugene_scherba]

Rene's first version and V S' seem the best so far, with Eric's

tying in closely.

[Tony Rowlett]

I like the very first one (original) and Ned's above. I don't care much for any of the cropping; I like all that foreground. Some of the renditions are pretty interesting, though.

[brambor]

wow. I come back and soo many good takes of the same shot. Thanks for playing guys. That was fun!
