    Here's a self portrait I did on of the first nights I got my CTR301Ps.


    430Ex 1/2 through 4-6" Cinnamon Toast Crunch Snoot.


    F8.0, ISO 100, 1/200th (is there anyway to get lightroom to put all the exif in a photo? this one didn't have ISO I had to look at the original raws. You can't see it but theres a Litre of Russian Standard of my right kneed (it's shining a bit).

    (i'll just jump the gun and say, no i'm not promoting anything in this)

    Here is a shot from April of 2009 edited with one of the photoshop actions I found on that page. I added the noise and the vignette after the action was done.

    Roger - See if you can soften the transition in the vignette. When I put a vignette in a 15mp image, I usually max out the limitations of CS2 by using a 250 pixel feather to transition into the vignette. The transition to vignette in your image looks like a line drawn in the sand (otherwise I really like it).

    Hi Rodger,


    Usually after running the action i do a ctlr+alt+z which opens up the individual steps(separate layers) before the layers are combined. Then you can change / tweak the settings on each layer and then merge them again.


    Cheers!

    Sorry to break the trend haha.

















    These are from my school's homecoming this past weekend (I go to a small private school without a football team so we have our "homecoming" after everyone else). I didn't like these until I used the vintage look from a photoshop action. They're still not the greatest portraits, but they're kind of fun. haha.


    Oh yeah, balloons are cheaper than flowers (her idea!).

    To be honest I really like the second one with the exception that the girl's eyes are closed, it's a nifty composition
