Looks cool, is it basically the thing where it makes a pic into a cartoon / sketch ?

[Pappy]

sort of a cross between a photo and a sketch yes. in PS, they use High pass etc...but i dont have PS:p this was edited in lightroom


I might have these two printed on canvas

Thats cool, have you done any of the XC pics you posted the other day ?

[Pappy]

nothing with action...not sure how it will look but i will try anything once:p

to be correct:rolleyes: your supposed to use a certain kind of lighting but its photography and edit work, i wasnt aware of rules at that point:p

Heres one i did with Microsoft Digital Image Editor

It's similar to what your pics look like.



EDIT : not quite the same lol

im digging it on some shots, its supposed to look gritty and kind of surreal.

That last picture is awesome.

[MOFO]

thats sweet!

[Pappy]

i think the lighting really helps make the shot....action will work if the right lighting is present

I really like that one.

[Robin Hood]

Honestly, these are the coolest pictures I have ever seen. I've never seen anything like them. Great work Pappy. :cool:

[troyleepred719]

Great Work Paps, you think I could frame the one of Natalie, if you put your stamp on that?

[suzukigirl]

those are really cool

[DEREK_SINE]

looks sick. now just imagine if you edited all your photos!?!

[Pappy]

Thanks! They sure make it look easy.

You really need a good picture to start with - as you said, lighting seems to be key for this process.

[Fred55]

Here's a quick try at it

oh well, fun is fun. ill read up more on this outside of just the simple editing and see what i can come up with. i also ordered a ring light that will help actually getting the lighting for the proper way to do all this:p

[JOEX]

You keep raising the bar with your photography:cool: As much as I prefer the natural look these are pretty cool:)

Just wondering... with this program can you apply the effect to just part of a photo without cutting and pasting?

[Pappy]

no, lightroom is basically just a digital darkroom and archiving application. it allows us to do with digital what a lab had to do with slides and film. film had a ton more latitude then digital does, so with digital , slight tweaks to light balance are usually required to bring out the best image possible. for anything beyond simple editing/cropping etc, you will need photoshop

should be fun learning some new stuff

Pappy I gotta say you take the most kick *** pictures. I don't know what it is about that JN pic, but damn does that look good!

I almost don't want to know, but what kind of camera do you use? haha I'm sure it was on the rather expensive side.

[tman12345]

[reconmaster]

http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2079/1675779156_45a8bca1d0.jpg

[Pappy]

First picture i've ever used PS to edit. I will stick to lightroom and good solid photography, takes to long in PS:p

nice pic's pappy!

[Pappy]

i have been playing with it, and for anyone that wants to try it, shot a backlit picture as that sems to work well. if you have lightroom, play with the sliders and tune in the effect you like. im not a big editing guy, but the end results i think look pretty cool...atleast different

I really liked this one, and someone pm'd me and said i should try having them put on a t-shirt....which would probably look killer
