Another Buffelsbay sunset .Pretty sure this would look better with some HDR to it.

Holy smokes. That's an amazing difference. Gummi don't get me wrong the original is an awesome photo but mr Dangle can just transform any photo.

As long as you know that Gummi contracted Wyatt in to do the easy part.

Really nice.

Wow. Fantastic image Gummie

Gummi, it takes the shot to begin with... and that's a niiiice one! And Dangle's edit did it justice. Well done on both counts!

Hey Gummi.

 

I tried the HDR work on it, it doesn't work well with dark shots, its better when you have great contrast and a big mix of light.

 

What I did here is boost the clarity a bit, lightened the shadows as well as the blacks.

Boosted the highlights a tad and gave it a slight sharpen.

 

I also fixed up the lens vignetting on the corners as well as midpoint.

Other than changing the above which changes the contrast, not much was done.

 

I only managed to upload a compressed jpeg of it (sorry)

 

But I reckon that the edited image will pretty much be close to what the eye saw

I have been playing around with some of my images.

To me the idea of a photo is to also add some of the atmosphere one experiences at the time of taking the image.

 

I take a photo because at that moment in time I was in awe of what I saw.

Images even when boosted are often quite flat and often just another nice picture.

 

I took this image.

It was before the start of a Critical Mass, the atmosphere was energetic ,the air was energetic and that particular moment when the sun was going down and the people arrived was as I said simply awe inspiring.

 

This is my idea of trying to add some atmosphere to the moment.

 

 

 

Great shot. The Great Dane has the best gourmet hot dogs in Jozi. The Hunter (I think) has nachos in...

So does anyone know of a platform to sell photos?

 

Trying to generate some capital to start a business and I thought using my talents would be a good avenue to explore.

 

I'm not so keen on stock photography. More selling photos as artworks.

You will have to make sure that your work is damn good, make that exceptional, get them on canvas and in to art galleries.

I hear you.

 

I have a lot of township portraits as well as Hillbrow shots. Something that would appeal to Americans in search of pics with a dramatic story.

 

I agree that the work needs to be top class. But I have been looking in galleries and noticed some real terrible stuff going at high prices. Perhaps that's why it was still in the gallery and not sold.
