The ability to 'see' the shot is more important than the gear.

Thankfully, nobody here mentions it when we make a spelling error or typo. Too busy with the adult version of coloring to really give a hoot. ;-)

Kent,

No, that was my observation.. and I was just guessing.. probably should not have phrased it that way but it appears to me that some of the highlighting he did could have been accomplished that way. I looked at a number of his images and they all seem to share that same characteristic.

I supposed he could clarify if he wishes but don't expect him to do so.

Oooh... I like that one.... really neat colors.

I have another "raw" image that I think might be even cooler than this one.. will go through them again tonight and post it for you guys.. time permitting. It's a very dramatic photo and I've never spent enough time on it.

Thanks for sharing.

Hi Bill,

After seeing your I didn't want to post mine becouse it looks almost the same... but since i got it done...



I have used a little simpler workflow.

i've seen some great images on here and also some great techniques. but i was curious if anyone has done some proper light painting at the actual capture phase of photography as opposed to techniques that mimic the process. i'm not trying to diminish the work that has been done by computers, but i think that painting with real lights to capture an image would be more dramatic and can produce much more inspiring imagery due to its very difficult nature; and knowing what goes into it, would produce an exremely appreciative response.

if anyone has any links to photos done by painting w/light, it would be great if you could post them.

Just looked at the first thread and winged it.
Painted with light using white, black, red, orange, green and yellow.
Was going for a well aged and used look.

Hi Stephen

I really like that - it is rich in colour - beautiful.

All the best

Well a little of both. I first did some obvious processing, then toned the picture. Concerning the dials, I added a layer to and lightened the entire image and added a mask and then darkened the background layer and painted out the area around the dials to bring more detail in the dials. Did alot of edge sharpening, added blank layer added a brownish color and switched blend mode to soft light, backed off opacity. Then made a duplicate copy, flatened layers, added a hue and saturation adjustment layer on which I bumped the saturation on the reds and blues to come through the slight sepia tone. Or something like that.
