DLS Designs Velvia Xpro Actions

, originally uploaded by ZoeRuth.

Some more actions I created from inspiration from one of my favorite flickr photographer's, ZoeRuth. She does some awesome Holgagraphy and does a lot of xpro. Some of her Holga Velvia Xpro Shots rock! Everyone should thank her for inspiring me to write these actions and offer them free for you to download. If you would like to see a larger version of this preview, click here. If you do download these I would appreciate comments or constructive criticism for how to improve them. I would also LOVE to see any of your work!

DLS Designs Coloring Actions I

After experimenting with cross processing, I wanted to start playing around with creating similar effects in photoshop. I found several tutorials online, but I prefer easier methods such as Actions and Filters. After searching a while, I came across Steven Almas's Urban Acid. While I love the effects of this action, I find myself wanting other coloring effects, so I decided to create some of my own. Here are two of my first actions you can download them for free, but I would love to see what you create with them. If you would like to see a larger preview, click here.

TTV in Photoshop

Since joining flickr I have been learning a lot about different types of photography. I had been admiring the work of one photographer who sells prints on Etsy, House of Six Cats. It turns out that House of Six Cats also has a page on flickr. Through his work on flickr, I have learned about Through The Viewfinder(TTV) Photgraphy. "Through the Viewfinder photography is defined as taking a picture of any subject through the viewfinder of any camera with another camera."-Through The Viewfinder flickr Group. I have browsed through several websites on TTV and have learned a few things about the types of contraptions they use to shoot this cool shots. Since I already own a Yashica Mat and a Macro Lens for my N65, I intend to build some sort of contraption to use that equipment. However, I have yet to find time to build my contraption. In the meantime, I searched google for TTV and Photoshop. I found this tutorial for how to create "fake" TTVs in Photoshop. Here are a few examples of my results.
