It’s all in the photo(shop)
Impressed by my new abilities? Well, this time I set up a portable studio with two lamps on the side, and shot wide open aperture with focus on the center part of the grass. Slight adjustments in Aperture.
Or maybe not… I believe in the virgin image, the one that leaves the memory card and is finished article as is. But I also believe that what is beautiful is beautiful in whatever way it has been manipulated. I have learned masking in Photoshop CS4. and this is what made this image. Maybe we can say that it’s all in the photo(shop)? (And don’t worry about the noise. This is just a “first version”…
Here is the original…

Well, in fact this time it really is, Marcieas you can see from the original. Thanks for the accolade, but I don’t feel I’m up there with the pros yet;-)

Processing is fun… and it can really change the feel and look of a regular picture to something much more exiting… like you have done here. Nice work indeed

Her er du i gang med noe spennende Geir, resultatet ble kjempefint. Der er mye spennede man kan gjøre, men man skal jo lære alt også da, hehe, det kan ta litt tid.

Tøft Geir! Ønsker meg photoshop selv, men har nok ikke råd til CS4, så det blir nok Elements på meg. Hadde Elements tidligere, men da jeg byttet fra XP til Vista ved maskinbytte, fikk jeg installert den (dårlig!). Lag er kjekt å jobbe med, og så får du god kontroll over sluttresultatet! Stå på!

Det er veldig gøy med masking, Rune. Det gir en ekstra dimensjon til etterarbeidet uten at jeg føler at jeg manipulerer for mye. Det er innenfor en grense som for min del går ved HDR.
Takk til deg også, Simen. Maskin er heldigvis noe som også fungerer i Elements, så det er ikke så galt. En CS4-versjon kan du forøvrig få får under 2000 kroner. Det er ikke veldig langt unna prisen for Elements, så det er nesten så jeg anbefaler det hvis du har mulighet for studentlisens.
