San Francisco Street Scenes

[Debbi]

The Wharf and Haight Ashbury were a hoot. These are some of the scenes. Some may think the pp is over the top but I really wanted to play with these. C&C is always welcome.

[Wes]

Very very cool! I think the processing is great.

If I tried the stuff that the guy in the 2nd pic is doing I'd be in traction for a month.

[Debbi]

Hey, Wes! Thanks bunches. Yeah, those guys were pretty good.

[Daniel Bates]

Is this Lucis?

[Debbi]

The first two are Lucis and a little Topaz Adjust. I had Lucis in mind when I took the shots. The last is Lucis and the third is pretty much soc.

[Daniel Bates]

Lucis used to be all the rage... I must admit I got tired of seeing it for no reason, but when it's applied to a suitable image, the results are striking. Now that the post-processing fad has moved on to something else, it's nice to see a few Lucis-processed images here and there.

I like the second one best, but I think the first could be improved by either straightening it or cropping out the street light at the very far upper left edge.

[Debbi]

Thanks, Daniel. I only use Lucis now when I've envisioned an image before taking it. I agree on straightening the first image and I'll probably clone out the street light.
