Ok, I admit it. I was totally uninspired by the topic this week and didn't even take my camera out of the bag. However, I have been slowly making my way through a book detailing post-processing techniques for professional photographers. Even though I didn't actually shoot anything for our game this week, I am hoping that skipping the uninspiring words but focusing on photographic techniques might pass muster for a legit submission (this is photo-yoga after all). I am currently trying to work on processing which simply enhances the image rather than pure photo manipulation which changes the photograph (like my photo montage from a few weeks ago). You can be the judge whether I succeeded or not, though I'm coming to the understanding that this is a very subjective exercise! I think my lessons have a long way to go but I have been having fun playing and am happy to at least have started! I am trying to keep up with my mantra for 2012 - quit talking, start doing!
Below are two before/after series. In both cases the first picture is the before, the second the after. Both were taken this past summer while on the boat. In both sets there is more I wanted to accomplish but since I am in the beginning stages of this process I am simply posting what I know how to do at this point. The first set (storm) I actually would like to enhance differently (so you will probably see it in the future) but all I could manage this time is "more blue". For the portraits, I am also in the beginning stages. Can you tell what I did on that one?
