John Roshka Photography

My source of inspiration are sites like http://1x.com/  and http://www.photodom.com/ 

I’m always impressed by the images posted on them and wonder how do they do it and how do they end with such a result. And sometimes, I wonder from where they started, how did the image looked originally?…

I decided to write more posts about this issue, but related to my photography.

Just examples of before and after with enumeration of the actions made.

From this:

More processing the images more one realises the infinite possibilities and the beauty of the techniques used. Ealrier I was picking a photo for processing and after looking a bit at it, I chose the technique used, color or black and white and so on, but never tried to use both techniques (color and black and white) at one image. 

In the case of Silent Rock I was sure it will not be good for black and white because it is somehow flat, a lot of texture and only color separates what from what. But yesterday after giving a try I realised that it doesn’t matter if it is Color or Black and White, it matters to use the right workflow for presenting the beauty of the moment. Both techniques have their varieties. To use and to find the appropriate one is a must.

I’m still working on it, but the most important thing is that I understood something…

Enjoy.

This is a view from the Monastery altitude from Orheiul Vechi complex. It was taken with Canon EOS D60, Canon EF 50 mm, 1.4. I liked the curvy river, the cows far away and some people fishing. Yeah, it’s pretty hard to find them… Enjoy.
