Snaps

As photography is my hobby I thought I'd create a thread so that I can share the odd one now and again and keep them in the same place

Here's my first one - latest lesson.

 

Slow shutter's worked nicely and the wall's forming a good leading line!

 

Lovely blurred motion Tezza, great composition and autumn colours too...and a frame as well !!

You hardly need any help with your pics Tez

 

Thanks all

There's always room for improvement, I'm kinda my own worst critic but the problem is I don't know how to make them look better to how I like them, only basic adjustment *sobs*

 

Not perfect but I kinda like it

 

Can't decide what to do with this one, or rather I'm not sure how to get the best out of this one with photoshop (grrr, wishes I had a 1 to 1 tutor sometimes).

 

Does anyone do classes on Photoshop? Do you have the "Friday Ad"? or suchlike Tez?

 

I'll head over to youtube most probably and see what's about there, problem is I watch and think ooo that's useful, sleep and *poof* memory been erased lol

 

i like this shot for what is is worth but i dont like the hollow frame around it i think the solid black one works better

 

The problem I've got at present is I've got the car, I've got the keys but the instructor has run off with the battery lol

I have ideas in how I want a shot to look after I've made adjustments, for example, the sky looks like it has tracing paper carefully placed over it that I want to improve (1 of a few adjustments to make), the trouble is when I remove the tracing paper the rest of it changes.

I'm slowly trying to get to grips with layers etc but to me there's so many if's/buts/ands etc.

At present I'm trying to recreate what I saw someone do in a couple of mins, which is to take two pictures of kids/grandkids, place one on the other, make one B&W with maybe a 50% or so opacity, twist/turn to fit appropriately and blend (if I watched them do it a couple of times I'd have it sorted in no time, but without them to watch it's taking forever and a day).

So some ideas are there but the knowledge isn't yet, whether I or others like them after the adjustments is another thing but at least I'd have shown the ability to do it

 

Tezza,

Look up selection techniques and the different ways to make a one, using these you can apply edits to part of your photo at a time, thereby removing the tissue paper, but not affecting the rest of your image.
