My 300 look a like attempt

A self portrait of myself in an attempt to mimic the movie/comic 300.

I had just finished my own home-made beauty dish and this was the perfect opportunity. I know its a little grainy please forgive.

Very cool! Nice job.

Very Cool look!

I think it looks awesome! Don't worry about the grainy look either--if you watch the movie closely, its actually really grainy too!

Hey guys! First post here.

I dig the effect, you see alot of this sort of thing around latley. Can I assume you used a lightroom/RAW preset? If so you did a good job but IMO I would add more of a bronze color to the image for a true "300" effect. Also maybe bump the red saturation up just a touch.

What you have here is more of a Andrzej Dragan style picture. Most of these high contrast, high clarity are pretty simalur with just a few tiny differances. The "300" just has more bronze in it.

If your interested I could post examples that I have worked on and you can see what look you like better?

Later,

Examples, good. Tips and tutorials even better. I agree with what you've posted about a more bronze look, but I sure like what you've done hear. very nice.

very cool. Im seeing a bit of a halo around the head and more so in the arms.
How did you go about processing the image if you dont mind me asking

And tell us more about your DIY beauty-dish, any pointers you can share.

Stunning and raw

Hey guys,

I messed around a picture a bit and tried to get the look I was talking about.

very good job at your attempt..thanks for showing

nice self portrait... thats never easy! i agree you need more orange/brown/bronze for the 300 look - but if you hadnt of said thats what you were going for i would have just thought it was a cool shot

ps - where is your sword??

feel free to edit my jpg.

I know what the halo is...see i run linux at home and have been experimenting with LightZone.

i believe the soft WOW effect creates the halo.

My DIY is being redone. I need to find a larger bowl as the 12 inch one i have is too deep and too narrow, leaving me with a rather large dark spot in the middle.


This is madness. No, this is Sparta!

I would say desat the orange a tiny bit and bump up the red a tiny and your good with the first of the redo's.

With all that being said your orig is much better for this style picture.

hope I could help

started from scratch to get rid of the halo....

not quite but closer i think. oh well.
