 http://www.flickr.com/photos/eschn3am/8081394119/in/photostream/lightbox/Just a fun edit of an old favorite. This is the first time I've used selective areas of color in a B&W photo. Normally I really dislike using that technique, but I think it's too cool to pass up here. My hard drive crashed last week and in the process of setting up my new hard drive I went through a lot of my old photos. That lit a bit of a spark and motivated me to set up my photo workstation (photo monitor and Wacom) for the first time since moving to Madison last fall. I don't have a lot of time to get out and photograph these days, but it feels good to be messing around in Photoshop again. Even if it's just re-working old material. And as an aside, if your computer is running slowly and working on large files is a drag, consider buying an SSD. I bought a 256gb Samsung SSD for ~$200 and it's made an absolute world of difference. Everything just flies. And if you have a larger HDD for all your photos/videos/etc you can get away with buying a much smaller SSD and only loading your operating system and programs on it. Probably old news, I'm not much of a tech geek, but I thought I'd pass it along just in case.
Try adding a little bit of a blue tint to the right. Should take it to a slightly higher level.

Did a head shot today for a friend. Like how it turned out. LR4 Auto adjust is really nifty, much better than LR3.5!

I actually like the drab but slightly warm feeling it has. Selective coloring done right, like this, is very powerful.
A blue tint would just be a somber mood throughout the photo. Wouldn't be bad, but I like this better because the left side gives off a warm vibrant mood whereas the right side gives off that somber mood. Maybe a little blue on the absolute right part of the frame and minimal at most. But I really like it as is.

That's what I meant. It'd give it a bit more of that sunset feeling.

Thanks! I like it. Makes the picture feel more balanced to me, which, of course, means my original edit now looks it should be tilted towards the left :humph: I wonder if this has anything to do with my opinion:
Hey, man. It works!

Bump the shutter if you have to... If you've got enough light the ISO should still stay in line so you don't end up with a pic like that last one (way too much noise for a shot like that)

If you wanted to go B&W with that, maybe a bit of the crop on the ceiling and a tad on the stools and it would turn out pretty good I think. It's way better in it's original state.

another thing to try is continuous shooting mode. that's what i do at the track. bikes go by at triple digits, hold down the shutter release, take 5 pics, hope that one is a keeper
