Stars x Lightroom

Those shots were taken without much preparation in the summer of 2013, during a road trip in the US national parks and canyons, and post-processed in lightroom only today. I usually tend to limit myself to basic retouching in LR on my pics, except for an occasional removal of something ruining an otherwise nice shot, thanks to photoshop's awesome "context aware fill" feature. But I must admit, I feel a little bit like a cheater on those, since the RAW files look nothing like this when imported in the software. Well, I guess it's ok though ? That being said, this makes me want to shoot some more, this time with more preparation and thinking !

31 décembre 2013

2013 is in the books, and 12/31 will not be remembered any differently
than the days before, when it comes to my recent productions.
At least I finally went up there to check out the view by night.
So I guess I'll just continue working on those old pics from years past
and the trips photos I never published, until excitement and inspiration are back.

Merry-Go-Round

More pics in my 2013 Christmas album on my facebook page.

La Bonne Mère, by night

Different place, different time, but it was so much reminiscent of this,

that I felt like I needed to shoot it !

Night Bus Ride || 2012 London Trip

On our way back home that night, in the upper front seats of these famous double deck busses,
I started playing around with the camera, trying to mix up the reflections of us, inside the bus with the street view as seen through the (dirty) windshield, all this with a slow shutter speed ...
It came out pretty interesting I think, but I'll have to do it again someday

with better preparation and equipement (including my DSLR and a tripod).

Anyway I'm still pretty happy with the result :)
