What I liked most about this photo is it seemed to capture her personality, a little girl who is very expressive, animated and loves to show off. You picked up on what I think Mrs.E's. photo taking talent is, considering she has no training. The mechanics may be off ... meaning lighting, composition, etc., but she has a natural gift for taking pictures that captures the essence of the subject. Very few of her portrait pictures seem posed. Eisboch |

My youngest has a friend who picked up a Canon something or other DSLR - she's in med school and eventually wants to get into psychiatry - figured she could do candids and interviews - take pictures. From day one she took unbelievable candid portraits. Never been able to figure it out. Some folks have the eye, some don't I guess. |

In fact, what you saw and what the camera "saw" are two different things. For instance when you frame an image, your minds "eye" is translating what you are seeing while the camera is taking a replicant image of what actually is. http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...aneous/003.jpg This is pretty good actually - it's flawed, but not as a composition - the subject is clearly defined and while overly horizontal (it would have looked better if instead of being shot straight on, at an angle to the dock), it works. The flaws are there is too much of nothing of interest. If you had cropped about 25% off the bottom and to the edge of the kayaks on the left, it would have been a much better composition overall even with the straight on angle. At that point, it wouldn't be difficult to blue up the sky enhancing the white haze. That's probably what your minds eye "saw", but the camera looks at the scene in a much more harsh fashion. http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...aneous/005.jpg This one has potential, but needs a good working over with a histogram to reduce the harsh white balance. The greens are way too washed out against that hazy sky. Part of the problem is shooting into areas where the greens transition into black and back again - probably giving the meter fits in particular with the harsh white over all tone. This image should be greenish more than whiteish if you get my drift. Which can be problematic if only because greens are one of the worst colors to adjust. On the plus side, as an image, it's another straight on shot, but accidentally, you received the benefit on depth with the walkway projecting out towards the center of the image with a nice round curve. If you took the haze out, blued up the image, reduce the overall white washout (without sharpening - I might use the unmask control to reduce the sharpening), that would be a nicer image than it is. http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...aneous/011.jpg Believe it or not, this is a gem in the rough. Very crisp, the greens are properly balanced and the composition is really interesting. If you cloned out the walker/biker in the distance on the right, it would help a lot. Again, some problems with overall white washout that could use some help - in particular with the sky - you must have had white balance on auto because that is almost always an artifact when you find hazy conditions. Unmask control is your friend on this one, adjust the blue scale just a touch to take the white wash out, don't touch the contract/brightness controls and it's a great image. Thanks for your comments, and no offense, but...these are my snapshot photos, that's all. There's no chance I'm going to "work them over" beyond what they are now. Not interested. Ah - what works for you. Personally, I like to at least try to improve eveything I do. He's got them worked over to his satisfaction. And that's all that matters. Of course, one has to wonder why he posted the picture in the first place, if he wasn't inviting comment on his tecnique. |

Most "art" photos that have been photoshopped that way are so obvious, they are cliches.

Very few of her portrait pictures seem posed. My youngest has a friend who picked up a Canon something or other DSLR - she's in med school and eventually wants to get into psychiatry - figured she could do candids and interviews - take pictures. From day one she took unbelievable candid portraits. Never been able to figure it out. Some folks have the eye, some don't I guess. My daughter is that way. When in high school, she had best in class at the local county fair and went on to an honorable mention at the Calif. State Fair. But both girls are very artistic. |
