Experiment with Color Efex Pro........

just came up with the idea of experimenting with Color Efex Pro 3.0 plugin in Photoshop CS3...... used the Silver Efex Pro 1.0 previously and was impressed by some of the offers..... now I thought I can try out the Color Efex Pro which also offered some cool options.....

I picked up some wedding photographs ("Gaye Holud" programs actually) to try out these newly found options...... this is how they turned out.......

Portrait experiment with Silver Efex Pro

this is a nice software that some of my TTL fellas suggest me (notably Kamrul Hasan, the b&w expert)..... haven't used this for a while...... don't know actually how many frames I've edited using this; most of the times had been happy with minimal editing....... of late, I've started to explore the areas of editing with some portraiture...... desaturation was a pleasing experience.... now all on a sudden, I thought I can try out something in Silver Efex Pro plugin that works within the Photoshop CS3 framework......

I particularly liked two effects..... "Soft Sepia" and "Antique Plate I"

Lamisa's late night photoshoot......

was trying to experiment a bit...... but somehow time wasn't in my favour.... it seemed as if I needed to real push to do something..... and it had to be a push, since in such hectic life, nothing is supposed to happen without a push..... and there we go..... I was determined to shoot.......





Equipment: Nikon D700 + Nikkor AF 50mm f1.4D + SB600
