I was kind of sad because when I messed with the sky it brought out a lens flare I stopped using a filter and I think I need to get another one now..

Aww yeah first video. Best viewed in HD I think (at least on my laptop). The song I chose has foul language though so beware if you're watching at work. Just a little Westside Connection.

What I used/did: Clone stamp, blur, smudge, liquefy, highlights, yellow desaturation.

OK all done. Haven't been shooting a lot lately so just been chopping stuff up. This took about 3 hours total spread across last week. Practicing the clone stamp, blur and smudge intensities and flows, highlights, and color blending and saturation/hue changes. Not perfect but I love it.

Pre edit:

Post edit:

Pretty obvious: White balance, Some removing/darkening of the side areas and a tiny little bit of highlight adjustment to tone down the glare from the LEDs

Edit: New version, Just playing with photoshop while it's slow at work, Cropped and a small detail added.

Oh and the lighting is a technique I've been practicing called light painting.
