Above we have a nice picture taken indoors at Legal Seafoods in Boston. It is cute (well my wife is anyways ;) but rather washed out in the foreground and a bit dark and gloomy in the background (love me some flashburn). So off to try my new digital photo editing skill of dodging and burning (I used the gray scale layer technique taught in this week's learning unit).
LOOK! We now have a more 'natural' skin tones and the dark and gloomy background is bright enough to offer interest, but not so bright as to distract from the "portrait" moment!
Does anyone else find themselves taking more of their pictures to task in photoshop now that we are learning skills than before? I used to think my digital point and shoot took "ok" pictures, but I'm learning there can be SO much more...
Loving this class! Murph =)
What a difference

This is great. It looks like you actually have circulation in the second one. The first one it looks like you have a gray pallor.
ReplyDeleteWow, what a difference! You too are cute. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is a great example of what we learned this week. You both look so much better in the second photo. I agree...I use to think some of my photos were ok but now I see so many ways to make them better.
