haven't posted here in a while...

My New Setup : Leica M6 Classic with Canon 50mm 1.8 LTM lens.

Yashica 635 + Fuji Velvia 50

Trying to figure out how to use a hand light meter

Olympus Om-2n + Kodak Portra 400VC

i like this a lot. what post processing did you do besides the widescreen? always wanted to get these kind of color tones without post processing

Thanks. I do all my post-processing through Adobe Lightroom II. Just exposure and color adjustments.

I usually push the tint slider more towards a deep green and the temperture to the blue for white balance then de-saturate the color a bit.

Venice Beach , California

I'm confused. No offense to Traynor, but when did curves, vignetting, and widescreen make everyone go gaga?

Not everyone is as "knowledgeable" about post-processing as some..

Thanks for all the compliments guys, really appreciate it

Here's one from today :

Hollywood and Highland

Traynor - are your photos the result of light fall-out in the corners, or is that post-processing?

Props by the way, I love 'em.

By corners I think you're talking about vignetting? I "cheat" by using the option in Lightroom hehehe

it really depends on the picture itself..but usually

on lightroom ill first mess around with the "tone curve", usually setting it so its forms a slight "s" shape. Then I fix the white balance using "temperture" and "tint" than just selectively adjust the hue of each color to what I think looks best.

a cool thing I recently learned on photoshop is that you can use your brush at a low opacity (like 5%) and use white to brighten and black to darken certain parts of your picture.

sorry if this makes no sense, I need sleep lol.

Thanks chim for the compliment! Equipment wise, the photos were shot using a Canon 350D with a 135mm L lens. (yeah I know crazy lens...crappy camera) using Adobe Lightroom for post-processing. If anyone heres on flickr hit me up with a friend request www.flickr.com/chrishahnphoto

Loving the color Fuji Velvia produces.
