Default Lets see your edits....

Got a picture you are proud of the edit? Post before and after's up here!!!


Here is a self portrait today.

As you know I am learning about studio type shoots, and well the model isn't always very co-operative

I like my edits but am always ready to learn so have a go at editing my picture or suggest where I went wrong. I always struggle with getting the BG white but I think I did ok.

Before CLICK for large size. (clicking the picture in the link makes it even bigger):


Sepia type edit:


Regular edit:

This is a grab shot taken in the harsh afternoon sun at the Norfolk Botanical Gardens. I took it from the moving tram.

My intent was to make the scene appear as if it was shot in the evening with some giant specialized lighting gear positioned behind and to the left of camera. Done using Lightroom, Photoshop and the NIK Color Effects Pro plugin.

I like the regular edit as well Rachel.

Looks good Mike. Looks like a picture you would see on a jig-saw puzzle box.

I hear the internet has editing tutorials if you type "photo editing tutorials" into the googles.
