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.

Extra! Extra! Canadians figure out socialized medicine doesn’t work!
ByDerekOh how the liberals love to point to Canada’s socialized healthcare system as being the North Star for us to navigate by. Canada’s system has big problems, though, ones which are easy to see and predict, yet hastily ignored by those looking to feed the Hutt of federal government. However, it’s hard to ignore the…

Flipped on a roll
ByDerekMichele Johnson’s “Flipped” trailer is starting to get the attention of the local media. I stand by my viewpoint that eBay’s responsiblity is limited in this equation, although they could certainly help to alleviate the issue. What we really need to counteract the problem is tougher laws and enforcement in regards to fraudulently misrepresenting homes…

The mothballed and rusting Marine Star, the very large eyesore disguised as a ship docked for the past 12 years in Buffalo’s outer harbor, was headed “in the very…

Ding dong the tolls are dead!
ByDerekYes, it’s true! All the Buffalo-area news sources are reporting that the I-190 tolls are no longer – and for good! The booths themselves are supposed to come down next year. As someone who takes the 190 daily (although I only pay in one direction) this will personally save me quite a bit of money….

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.
