Good Hope Mini Mart

Hometown Hotdogs needed a little back up image since I'm talking about collections, it's always good to see more than one of something.

Image-wise, I am doing almost all of the "manipulations" in Lightroom the a little kiss of the special sauce in Photoshop. It's about a 2 minute process per image.

I am strangely attracted to the vignetting offered by the lens correction slider in Lightroom, perhaps to a fault. We'll see.

Make pictures.

Yes, noticed the sudden vignetting. Not sure about it, to be honest but those signs are making me hungry!

I'm liking the Vespa tour posts! I travel for work and keep a similar photo blog. It seems like it does often boil down to the local joint for food. I'm into the vignette and have to exert restraint on this myself.

Looking forward to following your tour.

Digging the posts, keep them coming! As for the vignetting, it's a nice touch... maybe adjust the center point/feathering to jack up the subtlety factor?

Nice work...

Vignetting is something I have been doing lately, I think my influence has been the British TV show Top Gear, the heavily vignette many of their segments to dramatic effect.
