I just finished up my ESP Workshop that I did with John Barclay. We had a great group of folks that were very talented. Art Morris even joined us for the day.
Here is one from the day. My thoughts for this image was to be subtle yet effective with my processing so that I would "craft" my image rather than process my image. I feel that the photographer should show the image in the way that he or she feels best depicts the scene and the thoughts they felt while photographing it. This scene felt somber and lonely to me. I didn't want to destroy the shadow areas by opening them up as they are as important to the scene as the highlights. For this image I used multiple filters in Nik Color Efex and Photoshop to enhance it. One thing I would like to point out is that I used a very slight zoom blur in post processing to just the floor. I liked the way it added just a hint of flow to it. I also used a texture overlay from Shadowhouse Creations.







Love the action on the floor.......
