Eponymous

ONS5 - Black & White

Tonight was the second night of a two day Beginning Photoshop class where we were to bring our own images to edit. I had taken this one earlier in the week, but didn't like the skewed perspective that occurred from shooting up at the signage. It was so exciting to learn how to do a perspective crop and correct for this. Magic! A few new editing tools later and this baby was ready to post!
This is great! I'm encouraged by your narrative....I have photoshop E9 on my computer, and have never used it....my son just told he me will GIVE me photoshop, but I dunno. So, when I see what you've learned, makes me consider it.

@nanalisarocks Lisa, it really wasn't as intimidating as I thought it would be. I think it is helpful to just start with a few basic edits and learn those, then move on from there.

This is exciting to see because I've been totally intimidated with PS and LR, sticking with my old Aperture and its plugins. But what you've just described is exactly the kind of thing I wish I knew how to do. I like this image a lot -- the label of building on the building, and the curves, lines, and tones of the b&w.

very cool! Thanks for sharing!
July 11th, 2013  
Very good Lisa. It's really satisfying to get to grips with all these new things. When I began 365 I didn't realise there was so much to learn!
July 11th, 2013  
Awesome !!:)I have the PS and LR software ---no patience to used 'em. specially am not planning to be a pro--just love this as a hobby :)cool shot,btw!!
July 11th, 2013  
Good for you! It makes all the difference! Very Art Deco shot... Nice

A photoshop class sounds like fun! Love this sign! Great perspective!
July 11th, 2013  
Lovely lines and contrasts with the clouds. Class sounds good - I know I need to get to grips with PS but I spend all day on a computer at work and can't face going back onto it when I finish - really need to get over that!
July 11th, 2013  
Ooooh well done... can I tag along too ;-) Enjoy your classes :-)
July 11th, 2013  
Congrats on your newborn. Love this photo!
July 11th, 2013  
Great B&W
July 11th, 2013  
Love the curves and lines in this. Looks like a beautiful building
July 11th, 2013  
This is wonderful, love those letters. Sounds like you learned a lot.
July 11th, 2013  
Cool shot! Looks like something from an old Holllywood B&W movie. Sounds like an interesting class. I have taken a LR course and that was fascinating but I don't know anything about Photoshop. Hmmmmmm.... next course, maybe.
July 11th, 2013  
Neat shot! How great that you are getting so much great photography training! I'm envious!
July 11th, 2013  
You did a great job on this one. I really like it Lisa! Wonderful! :)
July 11th, 2013  
I really should familiarise myself with some better editing tools. Great image. Love the lines and the black and white works a treat here.
July 11th, 2013  
Fab shot! It's this sort of edit that convinced me to buy LR and I'm so glad I did! It's much easier to use than PS!
July 11th, 2013  
Wonderful shot!! The lines and tones are great!! Your course sounds fab - just what I need!! Enjoy and i look forward to seeing the results!!
July 11th, 2013  
Awesome results!
July 11th, 2013  
Fantastic capture, composition, and editing. I would love to take a Photoshop course, since I use it but for what I have learned by myself. I'm sure there are so many things to do with the program, that I don't take advantage of them.
July 11th, 2013  
Great architectural shot, love the textures and lines.
July 11th, 2013  
superb toning, POV and composition! fantastic shot Lisa! and have fun with photoshop! :)

Well done you, for the shot and correction. I would so like to go on some courses but work prevents it at the mo.
July 11th, 2013  
It's always easy when you know how, isn't it? Great shot and I love all the different shapes going on. I think I must find me a PS course.
July 11th, 2013  
So great! Isn't it awesome to find out how to fix something that's been bugging you? Great crop here.
July 11th, 2013  
Oh, this is fabulous, Lisa. I don't think I have the patience to learn all the editing things, but if I could get results like this, well...
July 11th, 2013  
Love all the different shapes in this, the straight lines and curves and lettering. Very effective shot xx
July 11th, 2013  
Great stuff, love the art deco lettering and feel to this +F

Great edit, Lisa!
July 12th, 2013  
Amy
great b & w
July 12th, 2013  
It is fun learning the capabilities of software. The perspective corrections are nothing short of magic. Very nice result, and the b&w treatment is great.
July 12th, 2013  
Awesome processing!!!
July 12th, 2013  
This is very cool. I love the geometry and the subtle tones. I guess it's the Something Building ? but I like how you've angled to get the one word - nice interpretation.
Love the processing - I do like your processing style.
July 12th, 2013  
Love this shot Lisa and what you have done with it. I think I need some lessons like that! I love the vintage feel, is the building Art Deco? A fav!
July 12th, 2013  
@elaine55 Thank you so much for visiting so many of my photos this evening. I know that takes a lot of time and I really appreciate it! i'm so glad you like this shot. The building is a fairly new building but has some nice Art Deco design features.
July 12th, 2013  
@dulciknit Thank you, Alison! I always appreciate your comments. So glad you like the shot and my take on the signage. :)
July 12th, 2013  
Fav for me, that composition is just gorgeous

Super editing, look really great and is reminiscent of a 30s image.
July 12th, 2013  
Fabulous processing! perfect for the sign on the building :)
July 12th, 2013

July 13th, 2013  
Oh, awesome composition and good eye to see this... !!
July 13th, 2013  
Great b&w and wonderful editing, sounds like a great class!!
July 14th, 2013  
Fabulous shot - I love black & white. I so want to learn more about processing. I've been advised about Aperture for Mac users - wondering if you've come across it?
July 15th, 2013  
Beautiful! That is sooo exciting, I need to take that class
July 19th, 2013  
Haha, I didn't even know that kind of edit existed :-). Gorgeous shot.
