Nice Adobe How To photos
Some cool adobe how to images:
Flamborough head, East coast.
Image by Rob Ellis’
Please pwease pretty please if you like this photo, click the favorite button and I’ll love you forever! 
Shall have to write up how I did this in lightroom, never spent so long on one photo playing with every little slider, adding gradients, using the brush tool, if its in lightroom, I used it xD
The photoshopping was simple, some dodging here, some burning there, blurred the water somewhat, oh happy days
Such a pain taking this picture, spent a good 20 minutes walking right out to where the photo was taken (very slippery rocks covered in seaweed + camera = potential disaster!)
Totally worth it, dead chuffed with the photo!
Any Faves/Comments are hugely appreciated!!! (but mainly faves! <3 )
Much love
Rob

well, it’s 1am now.
More detail, some colour. Sketched in Sketchbook Pro, finished in Adobe Photoshop, because I still can’t work out how to do everything in Sketchbook Pro.

Mixed Media Painting (Detail) by Choichun Leung / Dumbo Arts Center: Art Under the Bridge Festival 2009 / 20090926.10D.54929.P1.L1 / SML

Choichun Leung
2008
Part of the SCRIPTO series
www.choichun.com/scripto.html
See also Choichun Leung talks about her mixed media paintings (Flickr 720p HD video).
Choichun Leung left Wales when she was seventeen to pursue a degree in metal-smithing at Loughborough college of Art and Design in the UK, afterwhich she studied Buddhist iconography in both Beijing and the Yangkung caves in China’s Shanxi province. In 1988 she moved to London where she studied under the Ray Man Chinese Orchestra as a percussionist and a student of the Gu-qin – a traditional Chinese bass zither. Leung worked in Hong Kong as a background artist for animation film before returning to London in 1992 where she received a grant and Gold Award from the Prince of Wales’ Youth Business Trust for the most innovative new business of the year: a line of symbolic art products using the traditional technique of Chinese paper cutting.
With music and the arts always hand in hand, Leung came to New York in 1994 where she began painting seriously, worked as an assistant to artist Peter Max, and studied music composition. From that point forward, Choichun’s artwork has been inextricably entwined with her interest in music and have continued to influence each other.
As the single mother of a young daughter, Choichun moved to Germany in 2002 to write music, perform and collaborate on an audio/visual project based in Koln. Upon the invitation of a gallery in 2006 she returned to New York. Most recently Choichun has been featured in two solo exhibitions at JLA Baxter House in Manhattan and will take part in a group showing in Hamburg in November 2008. Choichun currently lives in Brooklyn, NYC .
Artist Statement Our lives are as long as we remember. Our memories are imbedded in us like DNA. But what of lives that through trauma or age have lost memory? What of the interplay of conscious thought and the sub-conscious? Which one really drives the show? My paintings are like rorschach tests in reverse, a psychological diary of that moment in time, an investigation of the relationship between past and present, reality and illusion and in effect a blue print to the past self. Through the symbolisms revealed, and the stories or objects we project into the abstract, we expose another layer of ourselves and in turn provide clues to what may not be fully aware. My paintings are simple traces of that activity, void of any meaning, but imbedded with the years of experience that shapes us, yet also holds us hostage.
Choichun never paints from sketches but instead allows the process and medium dictate. Each application is an expressive gesture evoking the emotion and inner psychology of that moment, a conflicted excavation of what may be hidden or imagined. The script like lines emerge as a non-cognitive language or what she has come to identify as ‘glyphs’ – a pictographic personal alphabet; where ‘glyphs’ document the days, weeks and months spent on a piece. The one actual reference that Choichun can identify in her work after the fact springs from her background in music and her fascination with its chaotic notes and interpretive patterns. These can be seen in the work’s fine, rhythmic and frenetic lines as well as in the heavier, poured-on, black & white ‘mono-glyphs’ which overtake the paintings like visual representations of a sound. Choichun paints on both wood panels and canvas, using liquid acrylic, aerosol, oil bars and thread . With sticks, brushes, trowels and vessels: applying the paint and then scratching through the layers to reveal what is underneath, scripting with ‘glyphs’ throughout, painting over, sanding down and repeating this process until an image is revealed or another is hidden.
13th annual D.U.M.B.O. Art Under the Bridge Festival® (Sept 25 to Sept 27, 2009)
www.dumboartfestival.org/press_release.html
The three-day multi-site neighborhood-wide event is a one-of-a-kind art happening: where serendipity meets the haphazard and where the unpredictable, spontaneous and downright weird thrive. The now teenage D.U.M.B.O. Art Under the Bridge Festival® presents touchable, accessible, and interactive art, on a scale that makes it the nation’s largest urban forum for experimental art.
Art Under the Bridge is an opportunity for young artists to use any medium imaginable to create temporary projects on-the-spot everywhere and anywhere, completely transforming the Dumbo section of Brooklyn, New York, into a vibrant platform for self-expression. In addition to the 80+ projects throughout the historical post-industrial waterfront span, visitors can tour local artists’ studios or check out the indoor video_dumbo, a non-stop program of cutting-edge video art from New York City and around the world.
The Dumbo Arts Center (DAC) has been the exclusive producer of the D.U.M.B.O Art Under the Bridge Festival® since 1997. DAC is a big impact, small non-profit, that in addition to its year-round gallery exhibitions, is committed to preserving Dumbo as a site in New York City where emerging visual artists can experiment in the public domain, while having unprecedented freedom and access to normally off-limit locations.

This is my first test with Adobe Camera Raw 5 that comes as part of the CS4 trial. The local adjustments that very previously available only in Lightroom were introduced in the new version and are a great and intuitive way to edit images.
Das ist mein erster Test mit Adobe Camera Raw 5, dass als Teil der CS4 endlich als Testversion verfügbar ist. Die vorher bereits in Lightroom verfügbaren lokalen Änderungen sind nun auch hier möglich und ein schöner und intuitiver Weg, um Bilder zu bearbeiten.

Nice Adobe Premiere photos
A few nice adobe premiere images I found:
Starbucks bottle w/ water vs 1000fps air rifle pellet – 1200 frames/sec
Image by ttstam
1200fps. By now, the video is a bit too dark – I should have upped the ISO… or bring in some lighting gear that would require a stand alone generator and putting the fire dept. on standby. Heh.
—
By examining the footage on my bigger LCD and looking at the shadows of the flickering, I determined that the flickering is due to the overhead, magnetically ballasted florescent lighting. I didn’t even think that the overhead lights were an issue, with 2 halogen floods so close to it, but I guess every bit of light helps with these footages.
The amount of light to light this is freakin’ insane. There are 2 Halogen floods, totalling 1.5kW (max allowable on a standard household circuit, before things starts popping) about 2.5 ft away. So close, that the splash from the explosion sizzles off the front glass of the flood lights. I can’t even look in the direction of the lights, and the heat from it is intense. Even then, I have to shoot at ISO400. I guess that’s what you need for 1/600 sec shutter speed at F3. (I know, not a standard f-stop).
And for those who are wondering why I’m not editing out the end of the video… apparently Adobe Premiere does NOT support H264 / AVCHD codec. My first thought: "You’ve got to be f**kin’ kidding me". The most popular codec – YouTube videos and iPhone, as well as Blu-Ray and virtually ALL the HDd / SDHC camcorders on the market uses that codec and Premiere does not support it?
Fortunately VideoLAN player will transcode it into something Premiere can read. Pain in the ass though, and does take away from the "shoot footage, pull mem card and voila, video to edit" magic a bit.
Sunset Time-Lapse at Butte Valley, Death Valley National Park
Image by rmcnicholas
Seven hundred thirty four still images taken at 15 second intervals over 3+ hours. Equipment: Canon 7D, TC-80N3 timer remote.
I had the camera set to aperture-priority and let it choose the exposure length. Unfortunately some shots were much brighter for some reason so near the end there is some unpleasant "flashing". I will go back and try to fix up those frames to make it smoother. And sadly, yes, I bumped the tripod near the end, ironically while trying to add a hanging weight to the tripod to stabilize it in the wind.
Original RAW images were resized to 1620×1080 and converted to JPEG in Photoshop and assembled in Adobe Premiere Elements. Each image repeats for 2 frames, so the original 0.0667 fps shown at effectively 15fps is 225x realtime. (Thanks to DP for the math correction.)
Best viewed full-screen.

My Brother’s Window
Image by Lewis Walsh
Inspired by the almighty Lomokev I finally, after some months searching, acquired an intervalometer for my dSLR. It arrived this morning and so I present my first timelapse film, the obligatory clouds through a window.
These were taken every 30 seconds between 13:00 and 16:30 on July 25th 2009. I then used Adobe Premiere Pro to put them together in a film running at 24fps.
