Well I am just a rookie amateur trying to learn a new hobby. Harry
has been doing photography for many years, and is considered by many
to be the next Charles C. Ebbets . I have seen some of his Harry's
photographic work, so it gives me something to strive for. Who can
forget the photos of his hour meter, or the boat on the trailer with
the gravel and weeds growing around it. My personal favorite was the
one of his new driveway.
Reggie's horsey photos were poorly lit. What else is there to say about
them?
What's next, Reggie? Your take on polar bears in snow storms? Black
cats in coal mines?
Actually except for some a little additional light on half of his face,
the lighting was exactly the way I wanted it. I did want to take a with
back lighting to highlight the hair and silhouette. Most of the black
was done with layers, cutting the exposure down to 0 and then masking
where I wanted the "correct" exposure to come thru the layer. I would
then do a contrast layer to darken it even more, and then use a
selective mask off where I wanted to just add a little contrast. The
rest of it was darken by cloning in the black and selective dodging. I
wish I could blame the photo on poor lighting, but that photo was time
consuming. Not everyone can create artwork as beautiful as yours. I
spent a lot of time to create that POS.
