bucweeet replied to the topic Lensbaby portraiture. meh in the forum General Photo Chit Chat 1mo, 1wk ago
I’ve shot f22 a few times… mostly to block out the daytime sun (combined with higher shutter speed and lower ISO). For the Depth of Field, I usually refer to a DOF calculator which provides a really good idea about distance to subject and what will be in focus. I sometimes experiment with focus slightly in front of, or slightly behind the m…[Read more]

Something to possibly experiment with r1ch.
In one of your remarks you mention that “You do have some control over the blur through Fstop.”…
I would choose to look at/interpret that differently. Yes, Fstop does permit ‘control over the blur’, but more importantly it enables control over the ‘size of the sweet spot’ (which can affect the amount…[Read more]

For this one, I agree with Tersha regarding reducing the highlights. I think that would put more focus on the plant itself (whereas the bright highlights tend to draw my eyes to that portion of the image).
As for shooting them, I’s ask some of the local people when their flowers bloom. I believe in Arizona they bloom around March.

Hi Jim… I use PS CS6 so things may be a little bit different then the newer versions of PS. Here’s a straightened ceiling and I’ve included what I did in PS to get there…
I used the Rectangle Marquis tool to make a rectangular selection the top of the tunnel above the people… then made a layer out of it.
Next I rotated the tunnel’s top…[Read more]

Soooo…. is that ‘ice’ or ‘snow’ falling off the tree giving the impression of the ‘ghosting’??…
My only thoughts would be more of a panoramic cropping (if there’s room on the sides). Then decide which version I would like (current cropping or the pano).
Nicely done, Tim.

bucweeet replied to the topic The city view in the forum The Shark Tank Feedback Forum 11mo ago
The title is City View… so I would highlight the city.
Go for a panorama crop, add some contrast, clarity adjustment over all, slightly add light to the fore ground, and darken the sky slightly.
But, overall, experiment with it, ’til you like it.

bucweeet replied to the topic Digital Impressions in the forum The Shark Tank Feedback Forum 11mo ago
I have no problems with adding textures, or overlays, to images during post-processing. And quite often they add that extra layer of interest to an image.
However, in this one I feel the burlap/canvas is too strong. The pattern is very noticeable and detracts from the image.
I would be more tempted to go with a ‘grunge’ overlay…. maybe two o…[Read more]

bucweeet replied to the topic Some Seals on Some Rocks in the Water in the forum The Shark Tank Feedback Forum 11mo ago
A little trick in sports photography… to make it look closer to the ‘playing level’ or to make it look like the photographer is on the same level as the players… remove the lower portion of the image by adding more to the top.
In this case, shoot the image so that the seals were on, or in, the lower third of the frame. This would have r…[Read more]

Or different crops and/or rotations.
Same image as above, cropped for more of a panorama and then rotated 90 degrees CCW and then reversed horizontally.

Have you tried just reversing your image?
I’ve just darkened the surrounding area to highlight the tree itself to show its lines.
