thank you! :)

And I totally don't mind you asking about the photos, it's not a filter on the camera and it's not even a filter in photoshop (other then the holga photos, that's just how they came out). My friend, Lavonne sent me some already adjusted (curves & saturation) layers that I've just been dragging and dropping on photos. They're adjustment layers, so I can change them a bit, then I've also been playing with the curves of the bottom layer as well. I wish I knew how to do it myself, and if I figure it out, I'll fill you in for sure :)

Amazing photos. I love the juxtaposition of the construction cranes hanging over the old buildings, and all the perspective photos of the architecture. I'm such a sucker for architecture. The crossprocessed look works really well for these photos. It almost feels like going through a slideshow of your vacation. Very, very emotionally evocative.

Thank you!! I really love the ones of the cranes and the church as well.. it was so weird to see.. though honestly, the photos don't do any of it justice.
It's so funny, I was JUST leaving you a comment about cross processing and YOUR photos and how good they look.

;) Well I'll go check that out! We are definitely using the same sourcefiles though I've been going much darker with mine!

i like these! what kind of lens (specifically please) did you use for this picture?

leightsy June 13 2007, 19:55:48 UTC

thanks :) It's a 10-20mm Sigma, probably right at 10mm on a digital camera... it looks like this on a 35mm camera.. :)

What do you usually shoot with, I really love your photos..
