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.

I got a new wide lens.

Tamron SP AF17-50mm F/2.8 XR Di-II LD Aspherical [IF]

I recieved it yesterday and made some testing shots. The only one I managed to process by now is the Dancing Trees image.

The lens met my expectations. It’s an everyday to use lens, good for landscapes, street, urban and other stuff. I like wide angles for the perspective they give.

Dancing Trees

I used PerfectRAW for converting. Black and White in Photoshop and masking the green. Added vignette.

Enjoy.
