Weathering the storm

Now & then I just have to mess with the background. 😉

This one was originally very clean; I added a soft vignette, then as I tried to add a light area coming from the left, my brush misbehaved and there were spots and larger areas and it all turned out a bit cloudy, Christmassy. I added a wee bit of rain (if that comes through after the compression), drove most of the image towards blue and raised the lightness to get rid of the black and insert some floaty feeling to match the cloudy background.

I like it, it’s dreamy. I like dreamy.

Patrice and RadLab

Another one from Patrice from a shoot a few days. Actually this is the first shot that I’ve run through RadLab from Totally Rad. It gives you a bunch of mostly color grading examples, but adds some special effects such as blurring.

It’s easy to mix and style in a quick session, rather than going through a lot of curve tweaking in Photoshop itself. This saves quite a bit on postprocessing.
