Title: Andrew Rodney Photos
Post by: bobtowery on May 02, 2007, 03:28:38 pm
Thanks to Michael for providing the link to Andrew Rodney's excellent shots.

It's fun to see the casual ones, and admire the serious ones:

I'm especially in love with the "345" shot. What color, clarity and composition.  WOW.

But my real question is, what software do you think created this web presentation?

It's flash, you can see that.

Is it done in Lightroom perhaps?

Yup, with Lightroom.

That settles it, I'm buying it!

Hope you are fully dried off by now Michael.  One wet trip!

Bob.

Have to say that I've never seen the Digital Dog's work but that #7 is really really good, shame he hasn't gotten round to naming them yet!

My guess is that Andrew made a round-trip over Photoshop/PK Sharpener before creating the web galleries in Lightroom. Sharpening in Lightroom is normally not that good.

Andrew,

I, too, thoroughly enjoyed both your "casual" and "picks" shows. Thanks for sharing them.

Thanks everyone!

The web galleries are from Lightroom. In fact, not a single pixel has (yet) found its way into Photoshop. These are all 100% Lightroom. I still have lots of images to look through and of course, I'll be messing around a bit in Photoshop to clean up this and that. The clone tool in LR was used to fix some sensor dust. Otherwise, they are pure (boy, I can't wait to retouch some Piranha’s flying in the sky <g>). On this trip, Jay (Masiel) and a few others had an on-going debate about what can and should be done to an image after the shoot (hence the joke about the flying Piranha’s).

Like Jeff Schewe, I've never seen a pixel I didn't want to alter.

These are some really wonderful images, Andrew.  You have a superb eye for possibilities and good reflexes.

The last photo -- the child looking up, an arm reaching overhead, covering half the face, standing on the bow of a boat -- had me fascinated.

Is the child a boy or girl? Is she (my guess) smiling? Is the reaching arm shyly covering her face, or waving hello? The left arm, eerily limp at her side, the left foot looking oddly large with toes touching a blue rope on a blue deck; the symmetry of the deck broken by the rope; the black, murky river mottled by the rain.

A brilliant shot, a joy to view.

And it's nice for the rest of us to know that our "geeks" are also excellent photographers.

Don't know about others' opinions, but I preferred your pictures to those Michael has published so far. Then again, his Antarctic pictures were light years better than yours   .
