Bits and bobs

I've been playing about in Lightroom looking to give my digital images a more film-like appearance and also playing with the dodge and burn tools. I don't think any of these photos have been truly dodged and burned (except the NS Savannah one) but the majority have the film-look preset applied.

From this morning, using my iPhone.



Yesterday I had the opportunity to tour the NS Savannah moored in Baltimore. It's the first nuclear class passenger ship built. We received a private tour of the engine and control rooms but didn't get to see a heck of a lot else. Alas, there is always next year.

1. Good collection. I think Dodge/Burn is easier in film. I had a collection of objects I used for the

task, but my hands were my best tools.

3. Yeah, I find myself wondering if a Wacom tablet would be easier than a mouse

When I was developing my own film I never got to the burn and dodge process... that was too advanced for me at the time.

5. I had plenty time to play with my photos in the Army darkroom, so I was able to get

creative. Photo paper was dirt cheap, and the chemicals were free. It seems I got some pointers from the aerial recon guys.


I loved the smell of the chemicals and the smell of the lamp in the enlarger.

6. I was always afraid of the "almond" smell.

But you were lucky to get the opportunity in the Army. Most of mine was done in high school and about a year off and on at home.
