I've taken a couple of beginner photography classes, and they've pretty much taught me basic process...but how can I achieve this look through photoshop? In the darkroom, I could get something close to this using a couple of filters per print, but now that I have a dslr, I don't know how to get the look through PS. help, please? also how to do it with color photos, if process is different. Thanks.1 1 Camera SoftwareACD Systems Digital Imaging1 1 1 Image OrientationTop, Left-HandImage Created2008:05:08 11:31:24Image Width830Image Height5781

It's the details of the old man if you want to see more details use a higher filter when printing your B&W exposure. With a higher (darker) filter you'll receive less light making the print dark, and more details of the exposure. The Bread is lighter then the old man because probably he dodged the light on the bread or he must have a really nice exposure

Use a sharp lens, shoot raw, expose the file right (overexpose but don't clip), run your usual global tonal adjustments (levels, curves, etc.) all the usual stuff when shooting digital. Convert it to monochrome with Channel Mixer (Google it, you'll see), do some local contrast enhancement (") with USM, sharpen it with high pass sharpening ("), apply liberal use of dodge and burn as needed. Two things about the last one: do all your dodging and burning in layers like this: Layer > New layer > Mode to Soft Light > check the fill with neutral color box. Besides giving you the ability to see it with the effect on and off and to adjust the opacity afterwards, it just comes out better. Don't know why, it's just a trick I heard third-or-more-hand. Do all your dodging and all your burning in two or more (or more, e.g. one for dodging a cheek, another for dodging a shoulder, another for burning a nose, etc) separate layers to get the most benefit out of the flexibility. Also, lightly burning the highlights in out of focus backgrounds often adds to the file, and I think it may've been done in the OP file.

Where is this? Also they're kinda right about the focus thing. You could try taking a tripod next time and expose a bit longer, if it fits your stylistic preferences (if your lens turned out too slow for what you were trying to get), You'll be able to get more shit in focus too, being able to close the aperture down, even if this kind of defeats the purpose of having a fast lens.

>>303726 had a cheap shitty tripod with me, it got fucked up on the fence.
Its a top secret location, I couldn't really close my lens up much, and if I wanted to make anything much brighter i'd have had to start cranking the ISO and getting noise. I dont really like going over 400, and 800 looks like fucking ass on the 20d.
you in the WNY region? i'll take you sometime. I think its getting bulldozed down in the next couple of weeks.

Don't listen to these bozos. Try a Fuji Finepix before you bu whatever it is you're going to buy. Go on flickr and look at what people are taking with various models. Don't just look at the featured photos, compare the mediocre images of one cam to another.
