My first .NEF edit with the Camera Raw plugin for PS Elements.

Is it broken?

 

I love the purple color. This is really wild looking.

 

I love it. It could be a comercial picture looking like this.

This is the remnants of a DVD drive that I recently replaced. It wasn't broken yet but it was so loud that it had to go. I love taking things apart, and I had nothing better to do, so out came the tools.

 

The contraption in the middle is the laser assembly that zips around and reads the discs. I took a picture of it on a black background too, but something about using the circuit board as a backdrop made sense to me.

 

This really is the first time I've ever touched a .NEF file or any raw image for that matter, I have always use jpgs that come right out of the camera.

 

I liked the purple too, that's all color correction through the Camera Raw plugin. I can get all the 3/3s in the world on this one, I still think it's cool.

Yes I think it is cool also. The saturation work looks good. I think it could be a bit sharper but overall a nice image.

Thanks Joseph. I'm eyeing a macro lens and I still have this stuff so I might retake it when I get my lens. Have to get my car fixed first though. :( And maybe some new tires before winter... *sigh* I need a slush fund with someone elses money in it.

 

Anyhow.. I'm glad you liked it and there will be more coming as soon as I get my new lens. I was pretty pleased with it, but I see the same shortcomings that you see, so now I'm more motivated to get the right tools and take close ups of pretty much everything. I can hardly wait. I need to slow down though, I keep getting flooded by ideas and there's not enough time in the day to do them all. :)
