So what do I do when I have a few days off? I play around with photoshop of course. They say that when you do what you love you’ll never work a day in your life, but the reverse is that you’ll also never really have a day off! Anyway, I thought it might be nice to do another photoshop tutorial, this time explaining the method I used on the photographs in yesterday’s post.
Eve and I were messing around yesterday afternoon, she was jumping on the bed and I was trying to snap a few shots of her in action. It was a cloudy afternoon and the light in the spare bedroom was dull. I needed a fast shutter speed to capture her so my ISO had to go up to 800 (even then the shots came out pretty blurry as you can see in the previous post) which means grainy photos from my 10D. In the end the results straight from the camera needed a bit of help. I shoot everything in RAW format (rather than JPG) which DSLRs allow you to do, this means that I have a lot more leeway when it comes to working with dodgy conditions…and if all that just stepped too far over the techy line for you just allow your eyes to glaze over and click on to the tutorial to see how I made the above image:
