Holy crap!! Someone who gets internetz sarcasm!!

We gotta figure a time to meet up dude... Unfortunately I'm usually only free during the week, but most weekends I can do stuff in the afternoon/evening

 

[sleeper3]

yeah dude fo sho. Sad to read that the shuttle got delayed. I was sure you could have gotten some photos of the royal wedding with your 1-4 + 1.4x tc setup!

Subbed.

I'm a beginner, be gentle.

Photos of my little brother while we were in Italy. I don't want to spam all my favorites in one post, so I'll leave it at these for now.

i knew that, more of the overall look of the colors and all

 

[sleeper3]

do you have lightroom?

 

[reut1]

yeah i do, but still trying to learn how to use most things in it

 

[sleeper3]

for a photo to look good with this editing, it needs to have a certain "feel" about it... either dramatic lighting or the right subject matter. This is how you do it:

open a raw file in lightroom
set recovery and fill light to 70
contrast clarity and vibrance to 100
now grab the blacks slider and pull it up until the exposure looks even
now grab the saturation slider and pull it up until you like the colors

with this method, you definitely have to have the exposure perfect, but you can adjust it slightly with the exposure slider after you do all this. If you underexpose by even a little, you're going to have more noise than actual photo because of the fill light and blacks being pulled way up as well as the vibrance and saturation way up.

sometimes it looks cool, other times, it looks dumb... you have to be the judge

for some reason, with the lightroom 3 that I have, it wont let me open up RAW files. i need to keep playing with it to get that to work

google it. you might need a file. I think to open canon raw files, I needed to download something. Not sure why LR3 would be having problems though.

What camera and version of Lightroom do you have? My friend hadn't updated his Lightroom in a while and he couldn't open raw files from my 60D until he updated.
