dc engagement shoot at lincoln memorial...

who knew the lincoln memorial had SUCH an awesome park area around it? i had no clue & it saved my butt a little too. the giant reflecting pool is currently under renovations and is a giant mud pit. it was totally unusable so we walked around a bit and BAM total awesomeness. check it out!

incredible lighting at dc engagement session and the lincoln memorial

You seem to cross process every single photo.

Awesome set Sam. I love them. Next time at a spot with a lot of people like that, you should bring an ND filter and do a long exposure tiny bit to motion blur everyone else. I think it would look really cool. Love the T/S shots.

haha, i don't cross process anything. yes, i do process my photos, but i don't cross process them. the effect would be way more intense if i was going for that look.

The photos are great. The only thing that I'm not a big fan of is the fake depth of field that it looks like you put on a few of them. Nice work though.

I agree some of them looked really odd with it being extremely blurry in areas it wouldn't seem normal to be. I liked the photos a lot more that had a smaller aperture and no blur added. The one with the tree in foreground shooting through it stood out to me too since it was taking up 85% of the photo.

That is a tilt and shift lens :er:

Is it or is it fake DOF? I can't really tell.

haha... http://www.thephotoforum.com/forum/members/63137.html it's not fake DOF. it's a tilt shift lens (like Schwettylens said). it shifts the plane of focus. definitely not fake

I don't know, but your white doesn't look white.

Love the images! I've never seen pictures taken with a tilt shift! They are neat looking.

I don't think they look cross processed - this is what I see when I think of cross processing

Thanks! Tilt shifts are way fun and a great way to focus on a specific element in a photo.Yeah I understand why someone might think they're cross processed or something, but they're mostly just white balanced warm and have a tweaked tone curve.
