Photo # 1
Today, I'm going to repeat a little from yesterday. Some commented that they actually liked the background of the first photo better than the 2nd, IF it was cropped in like the 2nd. I thought I'd give this a try, with a poll attached to my blog. So please vote for photo number 1, with the REAL background, versus photo number 2, with the background from a different restaurant. Thanks for playing along.
Photo # 2

Photos for Day 16:
And now here's my photos for today, Day 16: A lovely ND shelter belt
I shot these from a moving car at 70mph, through the windshield, with a polarizing filter and my 18-135 mm lens at 52mm, in Aperture Mode, wb cloudy, f/11.0; ISO 800, exp 400.
Before:

And here's my after, with levels adjusted, and a light amount of sharpening:

And finally, in the next post I included a video clip that I really like for explaining layers, and some instructions I wrote for working with layers.

ReplyDeleteWow...those trees are beautiful! I really like your composition!
ReplyDeleteLove those trees in black and white! Amazing!
ReplyDeleteCari
Wow...that's impressive PSing. I could never do something like that. I like the second picture best, looks more natural maybe.
ReplyDeleteThose trees are beautiful. I love the green and white. Your adjustments do wonders for the picture.
ReplyDeleteaWesome picture. Great job from a moving car! LOL
ReplyDeleteWow to the trees! They are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteNice work with the trees--and from a moving car, too! Really like the conversion on that.
ReplyDeleteI also like the second picture better. You are definitly getting a hang of ps. TOni
ReplyDeleteI love the perspective on the shot with the tress. That is so awesome...and the black and white are so harsh it really lends itself to the "cold" environment.
ReplyDeleteWOW you did a great job with PS on your tree photo.
ReplyDeleteLove those trees, especially the conversion you did.
ReplyDeleteLove the wintery picture!! Great conversion
ReplyDeleteThe trees look awesome! Good work!
ReplyDeletewow, very nice. Thanks for sharing the mask tutorial. I found it very helpful!
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a painting. Very very pretty. Especially cool that you got it from a fast-moving car.
ReplyDeleteThis is so beautiful. Great job editiing.
ReplyDeleteThe edit on your second photo is amazing. Great job!
ReplyDeleteI have to vote for photo number one. I'm not a huge fan of edits where you put people on different backgrounds, and you can tell something has been done. I can totally tell something isn't right on the second one. They don't mesh with the background, if that makes sense.
That is a great job on your tree picture! And I like the plain background picture of the kids. Plain background, but it looks more natural to me than the other.
