pcimaging Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #1 · Pine Creek Lodge I came upon this lodge near Livingston Montana in a small out of the way town called Pine Creek. I have been in Montana 55 years and never heard of it prior to this. Anyway, that phone booth is what caught my interest first as they have become nearly non existant in Montana and maybe elsewhere. I also liked the setting hera but even though I feel I have made the colors pop enough if not somewhat too much, I still can not figure out what I can do to make this photo better. I cropped it at 4 by 6 and was happy with the antlers being in the picture. I like the older Ice machine, the phone booth and the motel sign. Still, what would some of you do to make this more interesting? All comments and Critiques are most welcome. This was shot using my Canon G9.

Bob Jarman Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: On p.1 #2 · Pine Creek Lodge An image of vanishing of Americana - don't recall the last time I saw a phone booth per se. Frankly, if you had not mentioned the phone booth I'd probably have missed it...I want to get out the nippers and whack the bushes! I've taken the liberty of playing a bit - if you object I'll pull the images - just to put a little different spin on things. Were it me and I had a chance, I'd reshoot from several different vantage points to help identify the subject(s) since there are several deserving consideration. I'd love to have time to visit your state someday... regards, Bob Jun 20, 2009 at 12:45 AM

AuntiPode Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: On p.1 #3 · Pine Creek Lodge It's an interesting image. It looks slightly bright to me. May I suggest trying it with a levels tweak - moving the center point to something about 0.76 and tweaking the exposure gamma setting to perhaps 0.88 and see if you like it better?

I see some differences in your edits that are interesting. Somrthing to ponder it is. I hope you will have a chance to visit Montana one day as well. It is a beautiful state.

sbeme Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: On p.1 #6 · Pine Creek Lodge Great classic subject, nicely captured. I like this as a polaroid-look. You could experiment with many variations including reduced saturation, bw/sepia toning, etc and find many effective images. Scott Jun 21, 2009 at 04:48 PM

I have tried it as a black and white with a vintage photo effect. That is interesting. Where can I see the polaroid effect? Jun 21, 2009 at 05:27 PM

sbeme Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: On p.1 #8 · Pine Creek Lodge Kaden got us onto this. I'm not sure if this is the effect he uses or Bob used, but here is one free download http://www.poladroid.net/ Scott Jun 21, 2009 at 05:43 PM
