damn traynor, those shots are incredible. love the color. what are you shooting on?

[Traynor]

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

anyways some more pics :

[Quiver]

^ really liking the cinematic feel - especially with that wonderful afternoon light

[chim]

yeah definitely looks great. What exactly are you doing in lightroom? The colors in your photos are just excellent

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.

[Traynor]

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.

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

[sidneylo]

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

[Quiver]

^ Not sure what to say about that, but I still enjoyed the photos for what they were.

Here's a lobby of a very tacky hotel in Macau. We arrived there at 5am from HK for 30 hours of tidy poker. Wynn is nice.

Photo from class this past semester. I didn't think it was my best, but it was the one my instructor picked to enter in the contest.

If you guys could go to the contest page and vote for me, no. 53, I will post nudes!

[dino might]

just got an oldie grandma found lying around, anyone know anything about it? should i stick a roll in it or not bother

[Dex_star]

can it go full manual?

[Jkissi7]

yeah im liking the cinematic feel Traynor is doing though

[bchhun]

I bought a Canonet QL17 GIII awhile ago, but I sold it promptly for something else. It's probably worth about $100. Nice, fast lens, though the rangefinder focusing is a bit shoddy.

thanks for the reply

[bchhun]

Actually, here are some pictures I took with the Canonet using Portra 400. It's pretty neat for low light as range finders aren't subject to vibrations caused by the mirror slap, like with SLRs.

who wants?

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

[Paean]

found this photo of my grand dad when he was still alive.

[cure]

from venice beach in november with some friends. colors might not be your liking, but i didn't feel like post-processing. during this time there were some fires in the surrounding areas, so it affected the sky and such. WB was set on shade

[Paean]

thats a fucking bad joke.
