Stalker 2

Posted by Rahul (Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia) on 6 August 2007 in People & Portraits and Portfolio.

Thanks everyone for the wonderful comments and support on my last series of animals and birds.

Its monday now and time for a new series, in this series i would like to give you glimpses of the Kuala Lumpur old city. I shot all these pics a few weeks back on a Sunday. The only problem was it was a day with washed out skies, so had to do some processing to replace the sky in almost every pic. :)

The first pic today is a picture of shot in the place called "Masjid India" which is famous among the foreigners here, specially indonesians, indians and pakistani's. This place sells almost everything and at very attractive prices. Also, good quality fake versions of lots of branded products can be found here in this market.

I have titled this as Stalker 2 as i had posted a cute stalker earlier at http://rahul.aminus3.com/image/2007-07-26.html.

Hope you guys will like it. Cheers and have a great week ahead.

Shutterbug from Chennai, India

focus colour? good one.. i've been trying that out and waiting for an opp to use the right pic...

6 Aug 2007 2:53am

@Shutterbug: This was done in photoshop pal. You are right here on the use of correct pic. For example this pic can be used either way, can either color the man or the woman. :)

@amy: Thanks Amy, am glad you liked it friend. :)

Laurie from Lincoln, United States

Nice processing...how did you do that?

6 Aug 2007 2:07pm

@Laurie: Thanks Laurie. Its just 5 mins of PP on this one. Use the magic wand or quick select (CS3) to select the person behind, then invert the selection and desaturate the image and apply some tint on it. This will retain the original selection in color and only effect the rest of the image.

Check out tomorrow image pal, you will find it interesting too. :-)
