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.

No tolls, one month later
ByDerekAverage monthly tolls, January-October 2006: $16.53 November 2006: $5.54 (and that’ll probably be higher than my average) 😀 There are also no delays anymore at Black Rock in the evenings. Things sped right up after they stopped posting a cop to babysit the plaza. Glad they took my suggestion. 😉

We usually pick an extra one (or three) up around Thanksgiving when they’re insanely cheap and keep it socked away in the freezer until a week before the 4th, when the defrosting process begins.

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.
