I follow Visualsojulias on Instagram. He has some really good guides and overviews on how he edits photos. Peter McKinnon is another guy who posts more dramatic subject photos, but his are worth following. For youtube? I really can't think of any off the top of my head. I usually would look up how to videos or specific guides on a type of photo edit (how to take matte photos, or black and white etc..."
ill check him out!
Oh that's up for mods to decide, maybe one of them will see it and consider it!
So below are two images; the first one is just a normal photo I took with my camera, and the next one is a Photoshop one. Just gives you an example of what you can do with a little bit of Photoshop
I went to Columbia for Photography. The best instructor I had. We printed one negative the whole semester, different developers, different papers. I hated that image in the end but, it helps out even today with digital.Ok, here are some prints from way back in college, around '94-'95. These were for class at the time and we weren't allowed to do any dodging or burning (pre-photoshop!). Everything was printed on graded paper with no filters. All contrast had to be determined with exposure using the zone system and neg development times. Phone pics of these don't do true justice.
I'll dig out some of my journalism stuff if I get a chance later today.
This has been a great thread, I haven't thought about these in a long time. I miss the darkroom!!
That last one is an award winner
Love the lighthouse photo!Bear lake at Rocky Mountain National Park:
Portland Head Light
I've been lucky enough to spend extended time in most cases and/or multiple trips to China (just Beijing), Australia (just N Queensland), Sudan (unwillingly), Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, Trinidad, Ecuador (mostly three weeks in Galapagos way back when you could run free there), Costa Rica, Canada (mostly Quebec and on a cod fishing boat off the NE coast of Newfoundland in '73), all over Mexico, UK, France, Germany (including the untraveled DRG when it was unnerving at best), Italy, Spain, Denmark, and I *think* every state in the US except Hawaii (transfers in Ethiopia, Japan, Colombia, and Hawaii just enough to see landscape). I wouldn't consider any of these worth visiting either on a packaged tour or for short stays, and unfortunately you can no longer get away with doing many of the things I did decades ago. I wouldn't even go back to Yellowstone in winter, what with the regulated crowds. But I hope I'll always return to Alaska to re-stock my freezer.
Absolutely! David Plowden was a visiting instructor for us back then so I studied printing under him. Extremely precision oriented which no doubt helped me learn to "see" light and visualize the image I want. I still use Zone System principles today.
