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.

Underground exploration
ByDerekI have a lot of respect for urban explorers that get into places that most others would never attempt to go, just for the sake of documenting the decaying history of a place that would likely be forgotten. As you can imagine, Buffalo has lots of these types of places – grain silos, Bethlehem Steel,…

The booming isn’t over
ByDerekWhile I would prefer to not write anything contradictory to articles written by other members of groups I participate in, the proposed aftermarket stereo installation legislation is still assaulting my eardrums. Here’s a prime example of why Franczyk doesn’t have a clue as to what he’s talking about – in his interviews he has repeatedly…

Triple pay
ByDerekThe News had a story on the “triple play” packages being offered by your local communications companies. The triple play is the bundling of a home phone service, TV, and internet all by the same provider for a theoretically better price. I say “theoretically” because while the price is almost certainly always better than if…

The crime line
ByDerekJeez… and all this time I thought it was a myth that Amherst didn’t want the MetroRail extended to it’s town because it would bring the crime to it from the city. Turns out, that’s actually a fact in places like “idyllic” Portland. When TriMet opened the light-rail line in 1986, it eliminated its transit…

QuickPlace upgrade, hour 39
ByDerekWow, some of these tasks take forever to run. Our server has somewhere around 260 places and 18 gigs of data. It took three hours to run “upgrade -server” and 9.5 hours to run “upgrade -a”. I’m on to “register -install -a” now, but like most of the process I start a task running, leave,…

Don’t be an Idol, just be good
ByDerekOur interest in this season of American Idol dwindled off, since the cast of contestants had Melinda in it. We knew that regardless of who won the show, she would be the one to make it big. None of the other contestants impressed us anywhere near as much. To me, American Idol isn’t as much…

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.
