Too much post-process?

jands · Apr 17, 2011

I recently discovered Aperture and now I'm addicted. I'm just afraid that I am over-doing it. Wanted to get some people's thoughts. Any other C&C is appreciated too. Thanks.

No, I dont think so.

Like they say, it's all good as long as they don't look like they were edited.

They look ok to me.

I really like #1. It brought out an immediate reaction from me (I laughed heartily), and I think that's something the best photos do. A big, bad biker dude checking out the sites from his mean machine.

Usually when people here ask "Is this too much PP" the answer is always a resounding YES. But in your case here, they seem just right. Might wanna try and clone out some of the people wandering around in the last photo, should make it stronger.

Good work.

The blues are a little too intense but other than that, they're fine.

They look great! Nice job!

I like them! They look great

Wow, thanks everyone for the feedback. Good to know I'm not TOO PP happy.

@rlemert, I'm glad you got that reaction, it's just what I was going for. "I'm king of the world" type of emotion. Thanks!

I think I'm finally starting to think more about my shots beforehand, instead of shooting first and see how it looks. I'm spending more time on figuring out why a certain angle/shot looks good in my head, and go from there. I'm also planning shots more often. It sure does make you want to go out and shoot more!

I also really like them! LOVE the 'lincoln' one!!

I think they look really good.

The Lincoln one would be amazing if you cloned out the people in the image. It is a really cool idea, and would look great without the blurred colorful distractions walking around. I would also clone out the period or whatever it is right after the word Lincoln. It throws off the balance of the photo.

Will do, thanks for the input.
