But in my spare time I point & shoot my Nikon. And then in my other spare time I play with those pics in PhotoShop or Picasa. And in my other spare time (that one day I just KNOW I will have), I will take some serious classes on how to REALLY point & shoot my Nikon and how to REALLY beautify images with PhotoShop. Like for reals, you know?
Wellllll... in my "spare" time these past few days, I've been working on photos from a wedding shoot I did in December. The Insley's have given me permission to share my fave shots (the bride & groom are soooo cool and their little girl is just a doll). And just for fun I thought I'd post one of them here.
I really liked this image to begin with, but I couldn't get over the big huge stop-sign above the bride's head and so I IM'd an expert and begged for a tip on how to make the problem LITERALLY disappear. Mostly thinking she could help me learn the PhotoShop trick to removing objects from photos. BUT THEN! At almost the same time, she and I thought up a possible solution that the couple might really digg (and they said "Go for it!").
So here's the original, the proof, and the final. This image was one they chose for a big fat enlargement so it was pretty crucial that it be worth enlarging. Check it out...
Is their little girl not the cutest thing!
Anyway... I better get back to workin'... the babes are down and so this is some spare UN-INTERRUPTED time that I best be using wisely, as there is no EXTRA TIME store in my neighborhood nor anywhere in the continental United States of America. (To my knowledge, that is.)
Just curious... What do YOU do in YOUR "spare" time?
And how did you get so good that it's actually SPARE?
