Deviation Actions
Hello, I've decided to share some of my original images next to the final edited results, so that you can see the difference -sometimes huge, sometimes not that obvious- between them.
The software I use to edit them is Lightroom 3.4 (for colour and lightning) and Photoshop CS6 (for cloning, deleting and moving things). The way I edit the colour and lightning is quite intuitive, that's why I see kind of hard to make a tutorial to explain. Each picture is asking for different settings so I'd just reccomend to experiment until you find some result you are happy with. I've chosen 12 before/after examples:
-Sepia and B/W edition:

*EDIT 16 April 2013: Since ~pixelmaedchen asked me to post the before/after of my photograph 'Glass, concrete, and clouds' (marioguti.deviantart.com/art/G…) I'm posting it. I'm so glad she asked me this since there's something interesting in the edit of this one: shot at 10mm, there was a huge distortion in the vertical lines (just check the lamps before and after to notice the distortion). On Lightroom it is quite easy to correct them, and also on 'Lens Correction' on Photoshop.
I hope you like the way I process my pictures, and I'm always open to your questions and also, in case you wanted to know the original file of any of my works, just ask for it and I'll edit this journal entry.
Epic pics' - Volume II
The work is huge. By browsing a bit over this website I easily find amazing pictures without the deserved appreciation. I keep putting my hopes on these journals helping them get the deserved visibility and helping them get finally well-rated.
Here's another bunch of images to enjoy (and again, I strongly suggest you to show some support by faving or commenting or doing some sort of interaction with the artists).
Hope you enjoyed them. If you spot any great, underrated work don't doubt on sending me a note and I'll probably add it in further features.
Epic pics' - Volume I
Hello, after a long break I'm back on dA and during this time one idea has been constantly crossing my mind: there are lots of great pictures on this site which are totally undiscovered and underrated. This is the reason I'm featuring here some of these photos which are amazing but which I believe they haven't become too popular.
In case you like any of the pictures (or all of them, which I hope!) I strongly suggest you to interact by faving, commenting, etc. That's some extra fuel for we all photographers, and I'm sure they'll appreciate it, and it'll also encourage them to continue working.
Hope you enjoyed it, I'm looking forward to make
Alternative lenses: Helios 44M-4 f/2 58mm REVIEW
Hello! After a while not posting anything at all I wanted to share my views on one alternative lens I got not long ago, and also share some shots using this glass. The lens is a Soviet Helios 44M-4 58mm f/2 lens.
Introducing the lens:
From what I've read about it before I got it, it's one of the most popular lenses from the former USSR (soviets were really good at photography equipment so I decided to give it a try). The lens was made by the brand Zenit, one of the most famous from the USSR. It's a small, simple-built lens.
It's a fixed focal lens (58mm) and its maximum aperture is f/2, making it really bright.
Price: on eBay you can get t
DIY: Dark filters for Monochrome long exposure
Hello! After a break I'm back with Journal entries and this time I think we'll go a bit further than just shooting with things we buy built: we'll build a filter ourselves.
Which filter will we build? For what it can be useful?
We'll be making a dark filter with a welding glass (those glasses you put in the welding mask not to get your eyes burnt with all the light coming from welding). These glasses have a green dominant, that's why we should turn them into monochrome (B/W, Sepia, etc) in postprocessing. The best thing is that I got the glass in a hardware shop for only 2 euro!
Personally I've glued a 77mm ring (for my Sigma 10-20, check
