Photos of Folk at Moseley Folk

Got my Moseley Folk Festival photos up online. Here’s the set and here’s the grid which I’m hoping to make available as a print if the MFF chaps are interested. The theme here is the people who attended not the bands who played. I was trying to catch the general vibe of the place as a whole rather than the spectacle on the stages.

And here’s the slideshow. Be sure and click on the full screen button in the corner for extra biggery goodness.

Having trouble picking faves but if I had to narrow it down to three I guess these would be them.

Loads of kids about the place. By the end it was a bit like Lord Of The Flies.

Nuff said.

Processing in Lightroom was a bit of a home brew rather than my usual system of take a preset and tweak it. With some variations for exposure the general method was lots of contrast, a bit of saturation, Split Tone (Highlights 127/21, Shadows 49/35) and a post-crop vignette (-33, 23, -42, 74). If you’re interested here’s a before and after:

If you’re not interested then why are you still reading? Those dashes were put there for a reason…

    That’s why I asked! After reading it I wondered “hmm, what does Pete think?” expecting to find a comprehensive blogpost all about it. But… nothing. This was obviously impossible. The only answer was that you hadn’t read it yet, crazy I know. But the other answer (you’d read it and hadn’t got around to writing about it yet) was even crazier.

    What a world.
