Surreality TV

Since I've been playing in LR3, I thought I'd share a bit of what I've been doing. I've taken some of my personal favorites and done some tweaking. Some is dramatic, some is subtle, but side by side, you can see the difference a little post processing can make to even a damn good picture (and I do take some damn good pics on occasion).



The images are original followed by processed. I'm just curious what y'all think.

Amazon has LR3 for $222 and change, so I went ahead and bought it. Just playing with it (thanks to Adobe's free 30 day trial (full featured, not a crippled demo)), it's absolutely amazing at noise reduction and clean up. It's also really nifty how it stores everything as a database of deltas and doesn't actually touch the original file in any way. I'll have to play with it's post processing ability for doing more than just clean up too, after watching some of the tutorial videos on line. I haven't even touched on its abilities for photo management yet, but wow it's got a lot of ways to sort, tag, group, and manage pictures. As I currently have just under eighteen thousand photos on my hard drive, that's going to come in really handy.

I also bought Portal 2 via Steam this morning, and now I'm going to have some fun.

It's the best show of just how silly the DHS terror alert color chart is I've seen.

My aerocar is totally hosed right now, and the mag-lev was packed this morning. My HCD only gets spotty reception on the train too, so I totally couldn't catch up on holo-vids. Gah, silly Zeussday.

I have a very happy boy right now. He's really looking forward to playing again next week. Assuming you'll let him. He did pretty much own us all.

So, if I go buy L4D2, who's going to meet me on XB Live and chainsaw some motherfucking zombie hordes?

After class last night, a friend downloaded the lightsaber app for his iPhone, and I downloaded the one for the Droid to mine. Our duel was a draw. Unfortunately, I couldn't use the Force to pull the roof down on his head and claim superiority that way, so for now the Empire and the Rebellion are at a stalemate.
