"Cinematic" colors/hues and edits

Courier: Maybe you said it somewhere in this thread but I'm too lazy to read the whole 9 pages so..what lens are you using?

Hey Jetthro all my shots are a mixture of 50 f1.4 and 135 L f2.

Only 50mm? That short focal lenght? And how do you manage to be "invisible" to the people? So they wouldn't hide or pose or something?

practice and smiling and maybe some cahooneys too

Are you guys using the gradient map to achieve this affect? I've been searching for useful tuts on how to utilize the gm but had no luck? Will try to get in on this as well when I get home.

I use a gradient overlay for the bars, and usually a circular gradient on layer masks for blurring and vignetting. Im still trying different ways to achieving different looks. All trial and error..

Here are a few of my recent attempts at this style shot inside abandoned buildings:

I think shallow DOF is important for this kind of look, don't you think?

Still trying to get this nailed. You all have way better stuff! This is a bit grainy but it was shot at 3200 so it is what it is I think.
