Hi Derek... quite and day...and that first photo is dazzling.Nice day so this happened......
Pollobarca.Derek, nice colours on the first 2. Like the Ducking stool and see from your flickr upload that the stream is only 6inches deep... Would this mean that all the witches get burnt regardless?
Don.Hi Derek...
If I may make a constructive observation, your fourth photo has no black point -- the five ladies notwithstanding -- so it looks washed out.
I don't know what image editing software you're using, but if it has a black eyedropper somewhere, click on the back leg of the bench under the woman with the reddish dress -- the small bit between her dress and the woman's leg next to her.
Cheers,
Don
Hi Derek,Don.
I was not happy with the shot and not knowing how to make the required adjustments, so will check to see if elements 6 has the above and give a try.
I always value criticism of my photos helps me improve thank you.
Derek.
Hi Derek... you're quite welcome... glad you found the eyedroppers. I've never used Elements but I've read very good things about it, so I'm not surprised that it has this function.Thank you Don.
Have found the eyedroppers in Curves or Levels,Will Print and keep your post for reference if i may.
Derek.
Brilliant, Derek... ya done good.OK after taking Don's Helpful advice and this is the best i can make this poor washed out original.
Again will appreciate any helpful criticism.
Derek.
Yes, often the effect is quite subtle... if you're doing it right. In Photoshop, the default for Shadows/Highlights is 50% Shadows, 0% Highlights. Looks awful unless you're into forensic photography and need to see what's lurking in the shadows.Yup. done that it only made a slight diff in the ladies cardigan as you visaed Don so hardly worth uploading.
Have learnt a valuable lesson of which am humbly grateful.
Derek.
