This is the Camera Raw and Light Room settings how Mr. Dave Hill processes his image. The post processing steps are also mentioned there.

That has been posted a million times...
Does not have the best results... So I doubt Dave is using it..
But he does however never mention that he does not like he say about Lucis and HDR..
See his last videos...
Big Dave ain't shooting a little 5d anymore...:+}
Hassleblad and 30" cinema display...:+}

There is no one trick pony and you have to treat every picture differently.
Now dave hill saying he is not doing some kind of HDR on his backgrounds He is lying....:+}

I think if you follow this thread and have the right lighting,props, backgrounds,punk or singers with a look already, etc...
You will get closer...
Or you could always fall back on Mtmm's Technique...:+}

Sometimes. But watch his videos for the wrestling series which is one of the
most recent and he's still using his 5D for all of that. He's said on his blog
that for some jobs they require him renting a medium format, but he still
doesn't own a digital back as far as he says.

You get yours looking amazing though snook. Forget DH, your stuff kills.

@Snook I've gone through this thread from start to finish and although you've contributed a great deal commentary wise, I Haven't seen any examples of your take on the Dave Hill look (your earlier links are now dead).

Taking on board the last post by CaptainHook, I would like to have a look at your efforts. Apologies in advance if I have missed one of your images, after all, this is a long thread to wade through!

Eagerly anticipating...

longside ~ my comments were not about snook's attempts to copy Dave Hill. Sorry for
the confusion. I was referring to his beauty images, which are i think are really great.
Along with his retouching of them. Having said that, i haven't seen his attempts at DH
so they could well be great also.
Cheers.

lol, no worries, I'm at the office at the moment, when i get home I'll explain all, however, just to warn you, much of what i did is already covered in this thread and over on the strobist thread on flickr...

Hey Guys, Sorry but I thought it was in my signature..:+]
I do not know how to post images here as when I normally do it they come up really small..
Here is an old website of mine..
It may have some DH looking stuff towards the end. Like I said this look is really old and I did something similar before Dave Hill...
Here is an older website of mine for any that want to see it...:+]
http://homepage.mac.com/ekphotography/2005/
if you change the 2005 to 2006 there is some newer stuff.. but nothing newer than a year or so as I am too busy to mess with my website really...+]
Thank Gosh!
Thanks for the comments by the way..
snook

great one. i would appreciate it, if you could tell us a little bit about your (skin-)retouching

longside1 · #**825** 07-08-2008, 10:12 AM

Yup. i'd be interested to hear too.

Is it a result of using the Nik Color EfeX filter you mentioned earlier in the thread, a workflow would be great....;-)
