Week One Pictures
This week I wanted to refresh my photoshop skills. I have been watching tutorials about manipulating photographs and using different features on the program. In the first picture, I used a photograph that I shot of Max this Spring and wanted to distort the image and add multiple bodies. This was purely for practice, but I wanted to upload it as well! I am hopeful that I will be able to make someone levitate by the end of the course! With so many nice days in the summer, I enjoy spending lots of time outside. I tried to take what I have learned in my other photography classes and apply it to this first week. I have also been testing out a new Nikon AF NIKKOR 50 mm f/1.8D lens around the house and outside; I love it. I can't wait until next week for when I travel to Montana and get to start shooting landscapes. I will continue to look at other photographers' work before I leave! The pictures below include concepts of shadow and light, time exposure, as well as use of aperture. My favorite picture of this bunch is one of my dog in which I titled, "Life of a Dog". Yawning, while laying in bed with a bone by your side, seems like a wonderful life to me! I will continue to shoot this week and post more this weekend!

Great Meghan... My absolute favorite of the group is the 2nd from the bottom of the deck... I love the light, framing and composition very much... I noticed that on the night shot, you tried to put tone into the blown out light and all it did was turn gray... better to leave it blown out... That's the thing about digital, once pixels are off the scale or clipped or blown out, they are un-recoverable...
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your new lens! Perfect.. now you can shoot under much lower light and it is sharper too... A nice thing to put on the front of it is some screw on macro filters...
A couple of more thoughts, Meaghan...
ReplyDeleteSee how Max's t-shirt reveals that the color balance is skewed towards cyan? You can fix that with ctrl>B then move the slider towards the red side.... You can also try using the middle eyedropper in the levels dialog box and click on the white shirt with it... sometimes it works well and sometimes it is overkill...
Also you pup with the bone... her mouth is the focal point so that should be sharpest and also have the light on it...
