Hi

I saw this flickr member's image and wanted to know how they achieved this look. They have several images in their set, which all look amazing.

Any advice much appreciated

Thanks

First of all, he overexposed the shot to get the blown out look. Not entirely sure what he did in PP, though.

Looks like it was severely blown out (though not necessarilly in camera) then LiveTrace-d in Illustrator.

He definitely overexposed it in-camera, to start with. It's in his EXIF.

Beside the obvious in camera over exposure (+2.25) he changed the following in photoshop.

White Balance: As Shot
Temperature: 4550
Tint: +26
Shadows: 27
Brightness: +90
Contrast: +25
Saturation: 0
Sharpness: 87
Luminance Smoothing: 67
Color Noise Reduction: 25
Clarity: 64
Parametric Shadow Split: 25
Parametric Midtone Split: 50
Parametric Highlight Split: 75
Sharpen Radius: +1.0
Sharpen Detail: 25

Of course every shot will consist of different values for the same effect. Since I'm not a photoshop user, I can't dissect the processing pathways he used. Hope you could figure it out. Cheers!

Haha! I didn't scroll down far enough to see all that.
