Man, editing pics really sucks up time and gets old in a hurry

I REALLY like the pics.

What was your gear loadout again?

Oh yeah, and workflow for getting that "look" to your photos.

Gear was a Canon 40D, 17-55mm F2.8 IS and 70-200mm F2.8L IS.

95% of them are just raw tweaks in Adobe Bridge CS3 to fix minor issues. I do vingnette everything though for some added style.

The only other edits I've made, were on the portraits of the two old sisters, the woman selling coins and the girl in the doorway, I created a duplicate layer in photoshop, did a highpass on it, used softlight on the highpass layer, then did a mask layer of all black on the highpass layer and painted over the faces with a light grey to enhance the features on the faces.

If you want, I'll upload one of my PSDs and Raw Files.

Please do

Ahhh... the lens combo is awesome. Need to get myself something like it in the future. Unfortunately your two lens combo equals about 4+ of my lenses

Do you have CS3? Otherwise you can't read the 40D RAW file. Lightroom should work too.

Edit: Theres the PSD http://www.cheddarcheesemedia....irl%20In%20Doorway.zip My 30 day trial of CS3 ran out, so I don't know which RAW file is the girl in the door right now. I ordered CS3 premium and will be getting it this weekend, so then I can review the RAW files and upload it so you can see the before and after

Wow, great gallery. I'm totally jealous of your trip, gear and skills.

I loved the sniffing glue picture. I think that could be bankable for a Nat'l Geo, Time, Newsweek, etc...stock photo if they ever do an article on the Nepalian glue sniffing epidemic.

I've been thinking of selling my 17-40 F/4L and picking up that 17-55 IS. I already have a 70-200mm F/2.8L IS. Add the 17-55 and it's a killer combo, especially for weddings.

I really like it.
