... I need to stop using these wireframes... But they're so sexy :( ... I think I have an odd obsession with eye cropping. Meh. Cnc? :o
Top Shade This trick works really great for outdoor portraiture. When you're outside I found that portraits often time look really harsh in sunlight, especially around mid-day. For example; http://jade31891.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d2w9hl5 Of course you can do other things like lower your shutter speeds, lower your ISO and such to make the light not as overwhelming; but you'll still get oddly cast shadows if you're shooting at any time when the sun is out. Example: http://jade31891.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d2wi7np This is where top shade comes in handy. Top shade is basically shade directly over your subject, that's blocking (but not completely eliminating!) sunlight. You can aquire Top Shade under buildings, bridge ways, or doorways but these building structures aren't always available to you. This is where we introduce the umbrella. Bring a friendly assistant, and a big black umbrella (you can get them anywhere for really cheap. http://www.amazon.com/American-Tour...WZ64/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1287541560&sr=8-3 there's a really cheap one for you that will work perfectly), and use that as your top shade. Tips: You may have to instruct your assistant! Look at the light, analyze where it's coming from and have the shade hoover directly over your subject. This means that the umbrella won't always (in fact most times it won't) be directly over your subject. For example: The Results: Top shading works wonders on outdoor portraits because by eliminating harsh shadows and bright highlights you'll bring out a natural warmth in your subject's skin tone. By doing that you'll also make your subjects look softer, smoother, and more gentle. Examples: (here the top shade is actually coming from the leaf)
CnC? :)
First abstract in a while. I forgot how hard it is to like... start with nothing. XD
These are all my favourite shots I've taken as of 10/7/10. Some of these you've seen. Some of then you haven't. They've all been resized for the forum but I posted a link at the bottom to where you can view the full sized photos. As well as a link to my DA if you wanna give me some Luvv. :( In order from oldest to newest: To View Bigger versions View this Album: Click My DeviantArt Any comments/critique appreciated. :)
Haven't really been into tag making recently. These are just a few that kinda... leaked out of me? XD
Here are my own custom curve settings for you to use. These are mainly intended for photographers, but I suppose anyone using Photoshop can use them :D But the fun doesn't stop there! Try combining other settings for different results! Note: Results may vary. These curves were mainly intended for outdoor photography, and give the best result when accompanied by outdoor/nature shots. Download via Megaupload
This can also be applied to gfx :) This tutorial is broken down into two simple segments and is really easy for photography post production :) Still can't get it right? Take a look at the PSD! Jade's note: So for some odd reason when I did post produced this, my computer was calibrated all wonky like and my contrast and brightness settings were all darker! As a result I may have over dodged some areas, but hopefully you guys still get the gist of things.
It's been a while since I smudged. I kinda smudged a lot here... Ooops. xD Cnc? :o
This took me a while. Not sure if I like it or not. D: I tried using a technique an IRL friend showed me. Didn't work out as well as she did it :( Cnc? :)

I downloaded a poop ton of resources today and... I really wanted to put them to use D: I was listening to a song by Jamie Cullum the whole time on repetition, I dunno if this affected anything but it was a damn good song. "Not While I'm around"
