how would you have done it?

[arijit]

here is a photo and a short story:p
i think the photo is quite crowded...but i must mention the intention behind it.
its a pic of a tea stall. the subject is neither the man alone nor the shop, they both are equally important. i tried blurring the items and kept the man in focus but it didnt go well. looking for a solution, i settled on this PP. i have tried to keep both the subjects in frame and focus without compromising on any one of them and tried to make the pic presentable. i think both of them are equally showing now and the presentation is better.
posting the original one too....so if any one has time and interest to experiment over it, he can do it. it will help find better solutions and learn by others' experience :):):)
[* a suggestion: a similar discussion topic can be included in the PIN where people can post their tif/raw for others to try over their style PP. it may help get learners like us some serious tips! ]

This might be the beginning of an interesting thread!

Approved

[arijit]

i forgot to add...C&C also sought!!! :):):)

[synn]

I like the PP, but I'd have used a wide (Or an ultrawide), shooting from close to the kettle (The corners of the stove creating nice lines) , aiming up at the man's face. I'd also add a -1 ND in LR (If you don't have one on field) on the left side to enhance the shadows on the man's face on that side. Would create a nice contrast with the highlights on the other side.

[anvancy-(macro analyst)]

I and Ken were discussing this thread on similar lines.good initiative.

Anvancy

[arijit]

@synn: agree with you about the angle thing. the one here is quite bland. but i have a reason-it was spontaneous!! i was watching the photographs i had clicked during a trip and by chance observed the man's expressions. my movement might have attracted his attention and the present expression would have been lost . so clicked from where i was sitting(but afterwards told him that i have clicked him...ethical...eh:o:o)
about the graduated filter, i have used vignette to create darker region around the highlights on the man and the kettle.
also tried the selective coloring but wasn't satisfying.
in our engineering, we are often given problems of debugging. we can not change the structure of program but have to make it running. it is similar. the composition can't be changed but we have to get the expected out of it...:):):)
frankly i intuitively hope to see better versions from my personal fav masters of PP...you, anvancy, bibudesh, +++

ill be coming back tomorrow explaining you as to "why" i did a certain part of editing over the rest..also the steps if you want.

Anvancy

[arijit]

^thats a nice1 anvancy...much improved than the original. :)
did you use unsharp mask in PS for sharpness??? and how did you manage to get the metal looks of the kettle than its original aluminium type look??

[synn]

My take:

Couple of NDs, contrast and tonal adjustment in LR. Color mapping and warm tone in DxO.

Anvancy

Yes we want.

My take:

Two different moods totally.

I find the colours oversaturated in Anvancy's PP, especially on the calendar and the face. However I like the gas stove and the kettle colours and texture.

In Synn sir's treatment, I think it is a trifle underexposed. Maybe he is looking for this effect.

I think it all depends on the kind of effect that we are looking to portray.

[synn]

Synn "Sir". woah! :D

If anything, I should be referring to you that way. Not the other way around :)


It IS underexposed on one side on purpose, as you have inferred (The NDs in LR). I like the low-key look with contrast on either side of the frame. Another reason to do this is because I want all the attention to be on the man's face, not on the umpteen things scattered around his workplace.

[shutterbug]

Arijit, the thread is a good idea.
Good variation of PP here, with Synn and Anvay going for two different styles.

[arijit]

I think it all depends on the kind of effect that we are looking to portray.
bingo!!!!

@synn - thats great use of the graduated filters...the lighting is more symmetrical now!!!
just B/Wed your version...:) (hope you dont mind me altering your work!!! just an experiment over it:))
http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2660/4175297019_644bf62304.jpg

[synn]

Haha, feel free.

I wanted to give it a B&W treatment too, but since you already have a Sepia version up, I thought might as well give it a faded color effect.

[hitanshu]

beautiful work done both of you :)

In expected lines of your own styles as well!!

[arijit]

@shutterbug
thats the idea bhaijan...
and by chance got a good photograph as the subject(i know its not good in terms of composition!!). good in the sense that it is bland(except the man's expression) and depends completely on PP to become presentable. the moment photographers click, they have an idea in mind but believe me even i was zero during and after the click(just a spontaneous reaction:))...so here i am in equally as others!!

[Deltaone]

The two moods thing is rather accurate. Now i prefer synn's version, because it goes well with the theme. The man isn't exactly a spring chicken, or govinda if you will to be awash with colors. The gritty feel works with his face and the overall feel.

There are shots where colors add a lot to the picture. But imo, anvancy's take with all the colors in there are more than a tad too much.

This is my opinion.

[arijit]

Two different moods totally.



two different styles.

both


The two moods thing is rather accurate.

PS: there are three variations(rather 4...two of synn) running of the original...count the first one too...hehehehheh...poor fellow left out....lolz;):p:p:p

[anvancy-(macro analyst)]

ahh..the color debate..thats like the CRT VS the LCD debate.but at the end saturation is a factor which can be controlled as per personal needs.

@arijit:

looking at your shot,at first i too thought of going the antique/BW way.an old man..shanty..scattered light..good choice.

but then..i thought..tea stalls are unique in INDIA.they have those shanty looks,things scattered,calenders..extra dabbe holding candies and stuff but thats what describes our india tapris.which you took.so my idea was to retain that look instead of going the BW way.i mean that scattering makes our tea stalls unique from those cafes.

so first in LR did basic touchups..i upped the recover slider to bring out the details in the utensils.and then further in PS under shadow/highlights.
the other main thing i did in LR was painting the whole picture -0.50EV and then erasing the person and the foreground in front of it.so that makes the background sort of more black and brings out the person.the second important was i just lightly painted the man's face again with adjustment brush with brightness.

for sharpening i did use lasso tool to select the person,and the utensils only to sharpen it.so unnecessary noise at the back will be avoided.this helps a lot.sharpening only what you exactly want.

any more questions u want to ask??

Anvancy

[arijit]

^i liked the way you did it. the only concerns i personally have are- a bit more saturated blueish reflections and the calender. it is so close to the face and also saturated that it is acting a disturbing factor. but overall the concept is good.
i think the man's expressions are the holding factor of the image otherwise i would not have even considered any PP over it myself!
synn has produced an artistic touch while yours is to bring out the original scenario. mine is probably the most obvious choice of presenting such subject. in short, different takes on same subject are bringing out thoughts and visions.

[KrishnenduKes]

just B/Wed your version...:) (hope you dont mind me altering your work!!! just an experiment over it:))

I was thinking about a B/W version too. Your work has brought a strong triangle between the man's face and the two main utensils on the gas stove highlighting the man's face. This sure looks good.


There are shots where colors add a lot to the picture. But imo, anvancy's take with all the colors in there are more than a tad too much.

This is my opinion.

I guess that is to do with vastly opposed screens, CRT vs LCD! I noticed that this happens when Aryan shows his work as well! He too works on a CRT. I guess when we view some work, we have to consider these factors.

i agree on the part of blue.it can be toned down in LR.

it all boils down to personal opinions and touches and perspectives.thats why its ART and not a Technique.

Great initiative, Arijit.

Here's how I'd process your original pic.

I decided to give it a more 'earthy' feel without going overboard with the contrast and vignettes. Guess this reflects my outlook towards PP. Oh and btw, lovely pic :)

[KrishnenduKes]

Here is my colour interpretation of the same image, as predictable as it gets...

http://i50.tinypic.com/w1rxa0.jpg

And since I am a sucker for the B/w effects, here is the same in B/w with some more tweaks.

http://i48.tinypic.com/2qj9mdj.jpg

I did most of my work in LR. With the sliders on the right. Did not change the WB. Rest of the stuff is pretty standard as most of you guys know. I am new to LR. I cannot do selective stuff with LR. I also do not know how to judiciously use the brush! I do not know either the meaning of the word opacity in PP.

Edit: After posting it here, I realise that I could have sharpened it further in the colour version, and have had stronger contrasts on the B/w interpretation. I could have even cropped it closer, removed the Ganesh from the top and some more of the stove from the bottom!

[arijit]

@xavier--thanks:) and personally loved your idea of tint!!:)
@ken--cant see your colored version:(:(
++here are two more versions from my side inspired by synn's idea that he narrated initially...used grad filter twice with + on right(from where the light was coming) and - on left(the closed area)!!!

[arijit]

yes...you have got a soothing soft feel:)

[KrishnenduKes]

:D :D I think it is soft because it is an attachment! On my HD it is much crisper. Besides, if you see the last line of the post, I say that after seeing the effects of uploading the coloured version, I feel that I could have sharpened it further. :)

Though I am not a huge fan of selective colouring, looks very very artificial, but well implemented, it can look quite creative and artistic.

The lens distortion slider in PS and the Selenium preset in Lightroom. :)

[Bibudesh]

To be very honest with you guys I did not like the original and neither any of the modified versions are appealing.

The angle of shot is quite conventional. A low angle with 18-24mm FL would have given better feel and effect to the photograph. PP of any kind would have made it even more dramatic.

Also the shot is loosing sharpness.

My 2 paisa.

Are you talking about Arijit's picture or Anvay's?

[arijit]

i am sure bibudesh is talking about the tea stall photo. well i already accepted the criticism over the angle though i still maintain that man's expression is the holding part of the photograph.

the challange here is the PP. as you said with your suggested angle, any PP would have suited...but then why would one ask for a solution!!!(not defending the pic...just making my point clear:))

i am confused as to the thread is dedicated in checking out various options thru PP or we are discussing what mm and angle should have been used for that shot.

in my opinion the shot has already been taken.its a question of improving it.

I was gonna go for a fisheye distortion and high contrast B&W, but was busy for 2 days. But since you've already echoed my ideas somewhat, I'll skip this one. :)

[arijit]

inspired by xavier's post...used cold tones in this case over the selective coloring one...[might look over saturated on some screens!!!]

[anvancy-(macro analyst)]

@arijit:my take was this.editing was done long time back.

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3458/3201842920_002226e10c.jpg

i personally wanted out to bring out the shininess of the bogie.it was sparkling clean.one of those brand new bogies.so wanted to bring out that.and went over board for overlighting the station..at that time of editing selective coloring didnt came to my mind.

i used blacks to cover up the tracks.i personally wanted to focus upon the moving object rather than the persons and the track.

Anvancy

[arijit]

@anvancy...you have done what was on your mind then to a great extent!!! a suggestion though...try desaturating the reds to an extent, may help in getting more focus over the intended subject + clear the waves and blur over the bogies...it would look better.i also wanted to get the focus on bogies, though i went for selective coloring for it. and btw did you consider an hdr of it???

[anvancy-(macro analyst)]

i believe that,doing a pseudo of single night shots is somewhat bad since the extra light thru the software brings out noise in terms of exposing the shadows and stuff.so avoided that.

Yes Sir, I sure do. I tried the default setting on PS elements,stil tryin that. Trial and error is the way to go right.. :)

[anvancy-(macro analyst)]

start using lightroom and photoshop.

since delta is your choice you can ask him how he went processing your shot.

Anvancy

[Deltaone]

Lightroom followed by dxo.

For lightroom, i just adjusted the tone a bit, the original is overexposed. I don't have a particular series of things that i do. Its different from shot to shot. I just play around till i get the effect i want. in this case, increased the sharpness, contrast, and blacks a bit. Cut down on the exposure, a bit of recovery. Then black and white in dxo with the right kind of lighting i wanted.
