Throughout the project I haven’t done too much post processing on my images. A bit of clarity and white balance here, a crop or two there. Aside from a handful of black and white conversions that’s been about it.
I played around a bit with yesterday’s image, and rather liked the subdued color scheme I ended up with. That got me interested in processing again, so I set out this evening to do some more experimentation. The processing for tonight’s image is a modified version of Lightroom’s Antique Grayscale preset. I think it delivers an appropriate feel for the subject matter.
You are right – it does give the picture an appropriate feel. I have a friend who loves cigars, and would love this photo! Very nice!
Thanks Jolene! I enjoy a good cigar myself, though I can’t smoke them as often now, the little ones give me grief about them 😉
I like the PP you did here Jim, great DoF (really adds that extra “umpf” for me)!
Thanks David! It does add an extra… Punch… if you will, doesn’t it? 🙂
Wonderful PP on this shot Jim.
Thanks Sasi! I’m starting to enjoy post nearly as much as the shooting itself.
