Yeah. The client likes the unnatural looking style better. and pushed saturation and stuff.. I usually do HDR and enfuse in LR but it was just a cheaper job and didn't really want to put the time into doing hdr for this job at all.

It's interesting... I don't think I like the style, but I suppose if that's what the client wants, it's hard to argue with that. And for what it's worth, it looks like you've pulled off the style very well... things look sort of, ethereal? I dunno, but there's a certain soft quality to the light that is nice, if that's what you're into. I'd be curious to see what these looked like SOOC, if you wouldn't mind posting one for comparison's sake?

Thanks for sharing!

I definitely know what your saying and I actually agree with you =D. And what do you mean SOOC?

Video & Movie / Re: 5D mkIII Wedding - Jenna + Eric

« on: January 20, 2013, 03:15:53 PM »

Very nice work.  Had a nice cinematic quality that I'm sure made the bride and groom feel that they were starring in their own movie.  Shots had a good storytelling quality.  Nicely done.

P.S.  I like the warm quality to a lot of the footage.  Excellent

Thank you. I put a lot of hard work into that day and the edit and I am so happy it can be appreciated. I did receive a very nice review from the couple. And I do work hard on color correction and grading to make sure everything matches and looks nice.

The video is very beautiful - the cinematic 24fps, the color, scenes, and smoothness. I have always thought about doing video but the vast spectrum of different rigs - both premade and DIY, for stabilization always freaked me out. Someday, maybe.

Thank you very much. Video really is a lot of hard work and there is so much gear to carry with you. But it is very fulfilling. If you ever need help in picking gear I can help you out with a few suggestions.

The greens look very unnatural to me.
 
Also, I've found that shots like these that include a bright light source in the shot, like bright sun through the windows, switched on light fixtures and such can often benefit from a conservative application of HDR.

Yeah. The client likes the unnatural looking style better. and pushed saturation and stuff.. I usually do HDR and enfuse in LR but it was just a cheaper job and didn't really want to put the time into doing hdr for this job at all.

I think these are GREAT....much more natural looking.

What methods did you used in LR?

Thanks
Dylan

Thank you =-) I pretty much pulled the highlights down and the shadows up all the way. added lots of contrast, lowered the clarity and upped the vibrance. Then white balance and lens correction stuff as needed.

This was a cheaper job I did and instead of the standard 5 shot bracket fused together with LR/Enfuse, these just single raw shots edited in LR. Let me know what you think =-)

5D MK III Sample Images / Re: Need you to critique this annual calendar

« on: January 09, 2013, 01:18:39 AM »

Hi,

I created an annual calendar with a photo of the Hawk that came visiting on the 16th of December this year. FYI, this is the third version of the calendar and I believe (hope, pray, etc...) that I am done, but I would like you all to give me your thoughts on how the calendar can be improved. I am sure I have missed something... The image is sized to be printed on A3 paper. The noise you see on a 100% view of the image does not show up on the printed copy. An item to note that I have just noticed that the months February and November need to be center alligned and I will do that. Look forward to your inputs.

Thanks in advance.

I actually really like everything about it except the 2013. Maybe you could put the 2013 inside a similar green box as the months. The only other thing would be maybe desaturated the reds in the text just a little. Other than that I think it's great! Great work!

Video & Movie / Marriage Proposal Video

« on: December 29, 2012, 07:05:44 PM »

This was a beautiful night to shoot a proposal at Sea Port Village in San Diego CA. Check it out and let me know what you think. There were a lot of things I would change and would have done differently while shooting, but there is very little time to plan for something like this, especially since we kept getting moved around by the security guard which messed up the whole original plan! Anyway check it out! I did record this music as well.
