How does he do this?
There's something interesting going on in this thread, and that's that some people are calling the look saturated, and some people are calling it desaturated. I'm was going to be in the desaturated boat until I looked really closely and decided that it is highly saturated within a very limited color palatte. The blues are saturated, but the reds are desaturated. I'm sure there's a lot more that's going on, but there's a start. Sep 02 05 05:13 pm Link I have this habit of starting new pages. Sep 02 05 05:20 pm Link That guy was the Golden Boy for Communication Arts photo issue this year... I tried to figure out what he was doing, too... Aside from super-careful lighting, I think the closest approximation I could get was by running high-pass, working the color, and then layering an over-sharpened layer on top... it helped to give it that grain, but it was still nowhere close... If anybody figures it out, let me know. Then I'll try it and throw it away. And make sure I never do anything like it. Cause ripping shit off sucks. (But I still wanna know how he did it).

Sep 03 05 12:05 am Link No offense taken. I'm on the fence with it myself. What would a longer lens bring to it? Sep 03 05 08:04 am Link A longer lense would shorten the focal length, blurring the background, for one thing anyways. I've been playing around with it myself a good bit, and came up with this: Select the entire image, and create 3 layers. Desaturate the top layer. in filters:blur:smart blur, click "edge only" from the drop down. Play with the levels of that filter until you get the appropriate outlines, and then invert the top layer. In the layers box, choose multiply from the dropdown. I've been experimenting on playing with the middle layer, high pass, etc.. Sep 03 05 04:02 pm Link David, I believe he uses the same methods as this gentleman. Take a few moments to look into his portfolio. Amazingling similar and cool images. http://andrzejdragan.com/ -bill William R Beebe Photography 408-910-6440 http://www.2photou.com Sep 04 05 10:59 pm Link here it is... www.lucisart.com check out the gallery's... fuzzy deunkel's is the one that I think most closely hits it.... a plugin....sigh...
