EA Lunch


I’m continually impressed with the cafeteria at Electronic Arts. Thursday’s lunch was this incredible leg of duck over spring vegetables, drizzled with a pomegranate Balsamic vinaigrette sauce. Yummy.

Shot on my Droid.

Dane, and Some Lightroom Magic

Dane

Dane

My friend, Dane, shot from the hip at my sister’s ranch

The original image, straight from the camera.

Some quick notes on the image processing. He’s a black dog shot on a bright overcast day, so he’s almost gone in the original image. Luckily I shoot RAW so there was plenty of latitude for processing in Lightroom. After some color balancing to warm up the shot, I used the local brush to select all of Dane and boosted his exposure by .80 and bumped up the Clarity a bit. Added a little bit of vignetting to the shot. That’s all I did, but it gave it a bit of an HDR feel – not sure why.
