Tim’s Ramblings

Today’s theme is “A peek at some extreme editing” – This is a combination of RAW adjustment, Photoshop, and some plugins including Topaz Adjust. I posted the original a while ago. What do you think? I’m not going for realism here (obviously).

I’ll do more of these over time. The B&W classic car from a few days back used a very similar method just without the color “pop” of these shots.

It was big band night at Brothers Lounge in Cleveland (right by Lakewood). I only found out about this recently with my friend G invited a bunch of people via Facebook to go see the show. Her BF is playing bass (you may remember him from the post a few months back for the Iron Maiden cover band – he was the kick ass bassist) and it was pretty cool.

Mojo Big Band plays there every Monday (except when there’s a special event) and I gotta tell you…they are really really good. You don’t get to hear this type of music live and they really did a great job! They managed to get together some pretty talented guys.

So, on with the photos. Each one you can click on for a bigger version.

The band. I had my GF1 and it was pretty dark but I got to sit right at the front so it helped. These guys had some serious set of instruments. One guy had a sax, a soprano sax, a flute, and an alto flute. Cool.

Of course, this being a bar, some drinks were enjoyed along with the music as well :)

It was a fun time. If you like jazz or big band, you should check it out. Only a $5 cover and it’s worth it!
