Dammit Rhys when I was walking around Oxford I was basically thinking "It would be awesome to get shot there, and there, and there." and now I keep seeing you've done them all...

Lol, new locations are running a little dry for me to.

Something a bit different!

Like that! Made me chuckle and smile!

Thanks

I think I have the cloudy day colour process sorted with that one! The same preset doesn't give the same feel in sunlight or indoors with natural light coming in, at this rate I'm going to be scrolling through my custom presets!

Exception, I adore your style, lovely texture.

I'm also from Oxford, and have had this street in mind for a shoot!

Thanks very much

Yes Oxford has lot's of lovely places to shoot, as it's pretty photogenic. The only issues I had was people getting in the frame. I either like the frame to be clean, or full of people.
I've covered allot of the obvious spot's now, but there are still lot's of nooks and crannies to explore.

Fingers crossed next year I might have a wedding to shoot here, I think the library also extends all the way under the camera building, but from overhearing a tour guide (I may be wrong), apparently certain parts are not available for public viewing, but students have access.

That's a nice photo and I like the silky processing

fallbayuk · 26 Feb 2013 at 00:14

An exception, am I allowed to ask how you process your photos to get that 'look', or is it trade secrets

An Exception · 26 Feb 2013 at 08:08

It's a trade secrete, but basically you should be able to get somewhere close by clipping the blacks with tone curve. Increase contrast. And add some grain to put texture in, especially the blacks.

Duotone Rojin? I like it! I'm on a vintage high at the moment and that looks nice.

Ksanti · 26 Feb 2013 at 09:02

I'm roughly 90% sure I know almost exactly how you do it, An Exception, so I'm going to hold your trade secrets hostage and sell them off to the highest bidder

^^Shot a few a while back so not with the 5D but:

I have no idea how the 40D managed to lock on and track in low light but I was pleased it did:

Erm, it's split tone? At least that's the settings I've played with in LR. Added a slight tint to highlight and shadows.

I also do colour occasionally
