We were celebrating Daughter’s birthday a day early, and of course, I had to seize the opportunity.
Happy couple!
Awwww.....
This next shot was a challenge and a technique I’m going to keep working on.
Love reflected
And they helped me with my lighting class assignment too!
Gotta add one more.
I’ve been struggling with my color shots, especially those shot indoors. I’ve had a gray card for a few weeks now but haven’t put it to work until today. It makes a world of difference.
Though I set my camera’s white balance I’ve been noticing that my photos still seem to have a bluer hue to them than the actual scene. Below is a (blurry) photo of Maya sitting on the coffee table. I set the camera’s white balance to “shade.” You can see the gray card in the lower left corner.
I then opened the RAW file in Adobe Bridge and set the white balance tool using White Balance Tool (click on tool then click on gray card with eye dropper tool).
And . . .
VOILA! Properly-hued kitteh!
Once you have adjusted one photo’s white balance, you can use these settings to synchronize all the rest of the photos in the batch.
Hope you like it! Click on blog header for full impact.
Edited to add: Since this new theme is specifically for photographers I’ve discovered quickly hat a photo per post is necessary for full function (hence the little graphic I lifted from the web above).
