lol lens flare makes every photo galley worthy

 

No worries. Your point of view is fine and as long as you are happy with it, that's all that matters.

Remember that you can use layer masks to adjust the various parts of the image. Like creating two layer masks using the gradient tool--the process is similar to what you used for blending images.

 

yeah i like the composition for sure. but i understand what you were saying the re edit looks soooo much better.

 

Much better. Now just bump up the exposure on the bottom. Just a tiny bit so we can see it.

 

lol it must be different on your screen because i can see it perfect lol


EDIT then again i am looking at the original file... the one on here is different because of photobucket :/

 

dang man you have so many lenses haha, nice new pics too

 

I can see it too. Just needs to be a CH brighter.

 

my mom was so excited about her diningroom table for thanksgiving so she wanted me to shoot it lol

 

thanks man!

lemme touch it a little

 

THIRD edit lol








ew....too...HDR-ish one sec

 

4th time charm?
lol

looks better now

 

If you use the gradient tool and go from the bottom to the middle of the sand, that will help with the halo. The idea being the gradient tool gives you some decent feathering.

Nice table shots!

 

how would i do that with exposure though?

 

Levels.

 

ooooooooh gotcha

 

oh i forgot i had a photoshoot the other day heres two from the shoot. the dad was really un-cooperative in the beginning lol



ive done a few shoots before like this....but i dont know how i like these shots

 

I think you did good here.

I've done people shoots and I swear, it's easier to do it from 300' away with a long lens sometimes

 

I think they look good man. Is that with natural lighting or did you use strobes?

 

thanks man. the B&W is natural.

the one laying on the ground is a speedlight facing the ceiling.

 

Yeah I seen the catch light in that shot but couldn't tell if it was strobes or just a light in the house.
