Taking advantage of the weather
ByDerekI managed to do something with the beautiful weather we had this extended weekend that I hadn’t had a chance to do all year – wash and wax BOTH cars. Those tasks always seem to get pushed to the back burner during the summer when the home improvement projects are in full swing. With the…

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.
