originally when i looked through your gallery i don't remember seeing this.... how did you achieve this effect? the colors are really nice by the way they remind me of dawn and they are soft.

This was predawn, so that might contribute to the feeling The haziness and smudges were all because of some really intense fog, it was really dense O.O For the colors, I usually convert the image to grayscale, create layers with custom blending options, play with the contrast, then use several color fillings in separate layers, mess with curves, selective color, get the hue/saturation to match the mood of the image, use the color balance to increase/decrease certain colors, and then use lighting effects for the vignette. I don't remember if this was the exact thing I did for this image, but it's as close as I can remember

SEX. she's moaning from the sex. which i suppose it's good to know that my DAD can please a woman... but i dun really wanna listen when i haz fever. other times i don't so much mind, i can tune it out, ya know? but being even slightly sick gives me a sense of entitlement. i am entitled to peace and quiet, ya know?

yeah. seriously though... they're all "bad composition, framing feels cramped in, blah blah blah" i'm like, the composition is fine, the cramped framing is purposeful, fuck all y'all. so i just quit the group. i don't need their crap.

currently figuring out HDR processing it's a pain... would prolly help if i had some better photos to work with (i only have a few that are multiple exposures of the same thing and it's too dark to take more now...)

When I get a proper camera, if ever, you can teach me HDR It looks so amazing if done right

it's not a camera thing, it's a processing thing. about to upload it

the image was exposed really darkly in the first place though, so i had to make it BW to hide the insanity of noise that happened when it went through the process... O_O looks pretty good though. tell me what you think ^_^
