This is my little sister, Amber. We were ice skating out on our pond, and she was being crazy. I absolutely LOVE this picture!!
Every year, my family makes a gingerbread house. This particular part of the house really caught my eye. I was going to edit it and add a little Christmas saying in the blank spot, but I'm still not sure if I am.
Although this week is really busy for me, I felt the need to still come in.
As usual, Dan looked at my photos that I had taken the week before. Then we worked some of them on photoshop. Looking at the pictures and working them took most of the time for this meeting. As we were doing that, a client came to the studio to pick up some pictures they had ordered. After they left this got Dan thinking about how to save the files for the client and for your own copy. He said to save the picture as both a PSD file and a JPG file. You give the client a JPG file, then they can look at it and see what they would like changed. Then, you can go back and change the picture on your own computer with the PSD file without compressing the file anymore. You also have the RAW file to work with to get more information about the picture and help when you save the picture.
One thing that Dan likes to do is put vignettes around pictures to draw a person's eye to a certain focal point in the picture. A vignette is a frame around the picture that is usually black that is used to focus on something, it kind of burns the outside of picture so that what is left is not burned and is the focal point. We tried it on a couple of my pictures, and it ended up looking great on all of them. I like the vignettes, not only because they sound french, but because it makes the picture more interesting and much better.
My homework for today is to update my blog from the last weeks and to keep taking LOTS of good pictures.
