Nice photos as always. :)

How did Shocker Zulu's performance go?

[mrzestyness]

the show was pretty damn good.
the crowd was a little small but still rather enthusiastic.
I think the guy before us kinda made some people leave... he was pretty bad.
and when I say pretty bad, I mean really bad :/

but it was fun anyway :)
i hope your break has been dandy!

Can you teach me how to make digital photos look cross-processed?

=)

Re: redo

[mrzestyness]

ahhhh right on.
I meant to make a comment in your own journal... sorry about that.

so. what I like to do is take the original photo, duplicate it into a new layer ( this is all for photoshop ), make that new layer an overlay, and then I work with the saturation and colour balances ( ctrl+u, ctrl+b are defaults respectively ) with one or both of the layers until I get something I like. usually I bump up the levels for cyan, green, and blue for the shadows.

but for a true cross-processed look, you're going to need to do more.
I'd try following this tutorial. you might also want to search "digital cross-processing photoshop actions" or something similar.

Re: redo

[svartur]

these were my tries:

i downloaded an 'action' called urban acid. it's not good though, because it makes the images look the same.

Re: redo

[svartur]

my inspiration came from the movie "DOMINO."
i wish they looked more like that.

i would shoot film and do it myself,
but i don't know how.

nor do i know of a place that could do it for me.

amazing as always...what kind of flash set up did you have for the band pics?

[mrzestyness]

thank you! believe it or not, I was only using a single external flash - 580EX - for everything. I wish I knew more about flash systems... I would've liked 3 or 4 flashes set up around the stage or something... I guess that's the best way to go?

I ended up just doing a lot of bounce-flashing, and I guess that gave some pretty good results :)

[everybodysuncle]

i dunno...that definately would kick ass. i normally bounce off the ceiling with mixed results...definately doesn't work at arena shows though :)

[mrzestyness]

hahah I would imagine.
usually bouncing works... even if it's just a black ceiling.
so I just do that all of the time!

[silvereon]

shweet shtuff! I really like the furniture one.

[mrzestyness]

thanke :)
