Town Line
I’ve been wanting to take this photo for a long time, and today the foggy background made the shot. I like the photo, not sure I’m happy with my vignette. Not good at the Photoshop.

Ok, no doubt this would be a cool Christmas gift to get… … but $280?!? Holy crap! I don’t think I’ve ever spent that much on ANY article of clothing! Not even a suit!

It was certainly the most “alive” that I’ve seen the East Side, well, ever! The Terminal was cold… so cold in fact that the tap lines from the beer kegs froze a…

Vacation Geocaching

for something like this, to replicate the feel I think you want, you probably want to feather edges of your faux-vignette a little more and add a layer or two of grain to give it more of a realistic, film-y feel. Very cool shot, though.
it’s a very nice shot, i like it a lot, but the corner darking could be less dark. i’m sure your camera didn’t do it THAT dark (and if it did, maybe something is wrong haha).
Yeah, the vignette is completely Photoshopped and I couldn’t get it to come out quite the way I wanted it to. I also went back to the RAW shot and tweaked it a little bit to make it a bit more dynamic. Going to take it back into PS and work it a bit more.
