| | | I really feel like I missed out on some great info. It was great to see all of the old friends, and to meet seven new UER rock stars. Thank you so much Freeside, for putting this together! More please.

| | | Thanks for doing this Freeside and thanks for the links, ZM. I agree with everyone that it's really nice to put faces with names and meet people I have been speaking to for over a year now. Lets do this more often!

| | | Hey, thanks Freeside!! That was great. It was nice seeing old friends and I enjoyed hearing you folks geek out about the your post-processing workflows, makes me realize how much I need to step up my game. And I appreciate the links Zombie, most helpful. [last edit 12/8/2013 8:48 PM by plexiglas - edited 1 times]

| | | Freeside, thank you for organizing this meetup. I think it was a great success! Thanks also to all the presenters for sharing their photography and post-processing techniques. I'm glad that I didn't miss out on this event; it gave me a lot more to consider when working my own shots. It was really great to meet some of the folks whose work I've long admired and, of course, to catch up with some familiar faces I haven't seen in awhile. Thanks again, Free! I had a great time!

| | | freeside, thanks for putting this on! learned a lot and got lightroom today and migrated my aperture library and started doing some edits in LR. also, enfuse is a great HDR app, redid some of my HDRs using enfuse and got infinitely better results. nice to meet everyone and hope to do some exploring with some of you in the future.

Any possibility you could post up your normal steps in Lightroom after you have used LR Enfuse to create an HDR??? Like what you showed in your presentation. -ZM

| | | Took a few pics after the after party. I found an abandoned service station two doors down from the bar. Not very photogenic, so not very many pics. In fact! Maybe the second one should be in the lonely chair thread. 1.

| | | Wow, thanks for all the kind words and I offer you all a hearty "You're Welcome!" What a great group of people we are and what a great turnout! Thanks to everyone for taking part, helping me cover the rent, contributing content, for bringing tasty food and generally conducting yourselves in a legal manner for a change! I can't believe how fast the 4.5 hours went. I could have hung out for another 4 hours without a second thought. I only had enough time to talk to each of you briefly and wish there was more time to to get to know you, swap stories and talk about stuff other than exploring. Thank you Siper for providing critical information that had been sorely missing from my understanding of all things digital photography. Thanks for showing us all how easy it is to move between Lightroom and PS and making it seem like something I can do myself. Observation: This is not completely true, but I think the multi-exposure stacking HDR method is best applied in scenes where everything is holding still. By this I mean little cloud movement. I found that stacking exposures in outdoor, long exposure, night photography situations (which is 75% of what I'm shooting in the last couple of years), cloud movement across multiple short to long exposures, when stacked, gives me near white sky syndrome, since all the clouds blend together to cover the entire sky. I'm not sure how to handle this situation in combination with high contrast night lighting situations (think bridges). I feel like I'm going to be stuck with trying to mask the sky with a complicated foreground... Seedy: I meant to say thanks for bringing the prints, and that I really liked the orangey palm tree shot. Was that shot on film? I'll follow-up in PM/email with many of you on topics discussed, and tentative plans made, sites etc. -free [last edit 12/10/2013 7:43 AM by freeside - edited 1 times]

thanks dude. i just brought them because I had them. That one was actually digital, but I shot it several times, lighting the trees with different colored gels. I printed the shot that was predominantly red because I liked how the few cooler colors in the frame created a fore and background. I'm an art school guy, so I go for feel more than histogram. I'm not much for post processing, but this get together really woke me up to some of the possibilities.... PNW should just start having monthly get togethers to hang out.

| | | I'm down for a monthly or bi-monthly shindig if we can swing it. @zombiemeat: Typical order is: 1. Lightroom (Import and Stacking) 2. Batch Enfuse photos I want to process 3. Select favorite image and apply following settings to Enfuse result: Contrast: +20 Highlights: -50 Shadows: +50 Clarity: +20 Tone Curve: change from Linear to Medium Contrast. Sharpening: the built-in Lightroom plugin "Sharpening - Scenic" 4. I play around with the Clarity slider here so that it has some nice contrast, but nothing major. 5. Right-click image: Edit in Photoshop 6. Nik Color Efex: Tonal Contrast at Fine setting 7. Flatten image, then open up OnOne Perfect Effects while still in Photoshop 8. Apply a plethora of filters at small intervals (faded to 10-15 out of 100) 9. Save and back to Lightroom 10. Toy with VSCO filters to see if any of them look good 11. Done! There's obviously a lot of tinkering because I'm just trying to find what brings out the best in an image...there's never an easy formula because all images are very different. Would you guys be interested if I did a video of an image from start to finish? I'd record a screenshare (and fast forward the tedious parts). I wouldn't be able to make it happen until January, but I figure I should gauge interest before diving in.

| | | I too think a monthly/bi-monthly meeting is a great idea. However, trying to secure a suitable place every time seems to be a-hell-and-a-half. Perhaps these computer-and-projector events can come at longer intervals, while between them there can be more casual bar/restaurant/cafe meets?
