I packed up my studio last week and set it up at Rumm Color Studio for the day in Alpharetta. I haven’t had time to go through all of the images yet, but here are a couple.

Here are a few images that I took in Stowe, Vermont today.
before + after August 11, 2008
I never have time to sit around and play with textures and actions in photoshop, but since I’m in Montreal on a short vacation I decided to have a little fun in Lightroom and Photoshop. We actually ate at the little restaurant in the picture the night before and I saw the cute pots by the window and decided to take a picture the next day. The image without being touched is very flat and slightly boring, but I love how there is a plant missing, so I decided to see how I could make this image more interesting. The first thing I did was make some adjustments to the image in Lightroom. I boosted the blacks, contrast, clarity, and saturation, then added a vignette. After I did that I opened the image in Photoshop and played around with a few of my black and white actions and decided to use the grainy b&w…one of the steps in that action plays with the saturation which gives the image a brown tone. Even thought the image had some texture from the grain, I wanted more so I used a photograph of a stone wall and put it on top of my image making sure I used the overlay tab to make it slightly transparent. I still wasn’t super excited about the image so I put it back in Lightroom and boosted all of the settings again adding some Fill Light this time and another vignette…Voila!
Montreal August 10, 2008
I’ve been exploring Montreal the past few days and here are a few images that caught my eye.
f2.8, 1/20sec, ISO 1600, 24 mm (I needed a tripod, but would have settled for a fish eye lense instead.)
I want to take a ride on that tomorrow!
They taste as good as they look!
