How to get vibrant colors like...

[Jaggz]

OK, so I am totally "into" this style of processing...very vibrant and colorful! I don't want to direct link her images here, but please look at LAUREN CLARK PHOTOGRAPHY.

I think she is based out of the Lubbock area and I think she would be a great asset to the TPF community!

Anyhow...any thoughts/ideas on how to achieve this great, vibrant look? I know it isn't for everyone, but all that I have shown it to absolutely LOVE it!

Oh yeah, Lauren if you are already a member here....GREAT JOB!

it's all about those great curves!

i think she may also be using curves in her processing, too.

Looks a lot like TriCoast's stuff, and they are members here. And they have a set of actions and DVD on how to use them.

Lauren...what a sweetheart and quite an up and coming talent. Here she is with her husband.

As far as the colors, TriCoast has some actions and tutorials that teach you that. Also look at the Boutwell's Totally Rad Action set.

I have a lomo action that does kinda similar to that... hers look alot better than mine usually turn out though!! lol

Anyone invited her to join us ? :)

I like her stuff..You're right.. Nice and vibrant.

Couldn't help noticing "attend our workshops"... Tis the norm these days I guess.. sigh.

I really like her work.
She gets some really blue skies, far bluer that I get in College Station with a polarizer and shooting at the best times.

While in Cabo a few weeks ago, I shot without a polarizer while doing a beach shoot and found that ISO 50 gave me really nice rich blues... Never really used ISO 50 before, but did on a recommendation by the photographer I was working with. It definitely made a difference.

I noticed in Cancun and Cozumel I got gorgeous blue skies, rich with color.
Here it's nothing but light blue and hazy light blue....

Ditto on the Tricoast actions. If you want vibrancy and pop, these actions will do it.

Kubota actions will also get you there

Hmmm...maybe that's what we need to figure out....How do we turn smog into a crisp, beautiful deep blue?!?! There is no doubt that she is doing a great job! I'm an avid daily Blog watcher of her's now!

I was reading something she wrote a while ago, so don't hold me to it, but I believe she said she does a lot of that in camera. My suggestion - shoot her an email. Photogs are usually happy to talk about themselves. ;o)
