I had to post about this picture because I am so unbelievably proud of what I did here. Yes, I am airing my dirty laundry right here for you all to see..... OH MY. Oh WELL, it is what it is. I am not going to pretend I am master at this craft. I think I was a little bit of a master when I had my first camera in college using black and white film... but these days I am only a passionate and eager student. However, my photoshop skills are growing more and more every day as I learn to explore all of the many options that are at my fingertips every single day! This helps when I make lighting mistakes (especially while using a new flash) at my very first wedding! Here is the photo, straight out of the camera (you can laugh, lol):
I played around with this photograph for what felt like forever... obviously it isn't perfect, but I could not handle that horrible shadow in between these lovely ladies and knew it was just a lighting mistake on my part... the bride said she liked it and therefore I had to challenge myself to get rid of that awful shadow forever!!! And, whalllla, I think I did a pretty good job.
It was such a sweet moment to capture between a bride and her niece, the shadow almost ruined it. This is the first time I've ever attempted to remove anything from a photograph like this... feedback is welcome! :) The frames in the background still bother me a bit, but removing them is at least 4 more hours of work and I don't have that in me, nor do I think I could pull it off with all the lighting changes, lol. So, I'm going to be satisfied with the removal of the shadow! YAY ME!!!!
On to the next project!!!
