Fun with post processing

Gabe and I spend only a chunk of our time actually shooting. After we get back from a shoot, we typically download the RAW files (images) from our CF Cards, burn them onto backup DVD’s and backup the files to an external hard drive. Then onto post processing… which can become time consuming. What we do on our computers is like what people used to do in the darkroom with film. Dodging and burning, balancing exposures and color correcting. Post processing often takes 3 or 4 times longer than the actual shoot, especially for Gabe since he’s a PC guy and I’m a Mac guy… (jk…) Anyways, I’ve been really loving black and white images lately and have been enjoying going back to older photos and reprocessing them differently than I would have a month ago, or a year ago. Here a couple of Ally who lives down the street from me in North West Portland
