wow thats an incredible look you've achieved - the posing ain't half shabby either!

mind if I ask how you got that effect from processing??

[John Trogdon]

Those are really nice. I would cut back just ever so slightly on the glow in the second shot. Mostly on her arms. Other than that, I also love the effect, and both poses.

Maybe I could use some miserable weather. ;)

[adam*]

I like it too, great PP.. what did it involve?

[wolverinesr1]

wow, these have the pro look to them.i would also suggest on #2 toning down the glow on her forearms.great work though!

[lisa1969]

these have a few actions applied to them, midnite sepia, midnite black, I just experimented with opacity and history brush. I know, her arm is blow, the original was really bad. I have also been experiementing with light, more of my placement of the model. I only have natural light as an option.
Thank you so much for the kind words. I for some reason get bored real quick with studio type shots but I also HATE being cold. LOL. I hope spring gets here in a hurry.

[ronosmena]

great shots lisa, I like them all, softness to it is good as well, i guess you used your nifty 1.4? by the way your airbrushing, did you use a plugin? action? or manual bluring? thanks

[KaplanMultimedia]

Great job Lisa. You are proving that photography is also art. Beautiful kids and wonderful post processing. :D

[Sam]

If you dan't have #2 hanging on your wall you are crazy! I love everything about it.

[HJMinard]

These are truly outstanding, Lisa. Minor quibbles have already been addressed, but I would add that (perhaps) the first shot would have been mildly improved by a portrait orientation.

[cargo123]

Wonderful shots. I didn't understand the lighting. Is it studio lighting/flash/natural? Wonderful job. MIke

[Michael L]

Great shots and they look great with the Midnight Action Sepa actions.

[T.D.]

Really fabulous. I'm not normally a fan of these kind of "mood" effects, but you've done an awesome job with an exquisite result.

[Kevin]

I like both shots Lisa, but #2 is fantastic.

[skade]

Love the pose in #2.. nice work!

[RebelMom5]

Wow Lisa these are great !!!!

[lisa1969]

I don't have a studio yet or anything that slightly resembles it. lol. I was planning on buying some lights but just purchased a magic drainpipe instead.I use natural lighting in my kitchen but have been experimenting on where I am putting my subject. Thank you so much for the encouraging feedback. I have been a bit lazy lately.

[Stevie@JC]

I like them both also were would a person go to get both those actions ?

[jinjenn]

These are really nice - great job and beautiful children!

[lisa1969]

thank you so much!
i would attach the conversions here, if i was allowed. Am I?

[crissyk81]

great shots :D

[cmpowell125]

Amazing shots.

Would be interested in knowing what PP was done.

[PEACHMAN]

Wow...they are both great...!! Love what you've done!

[PeaPicker]

#1 is super. Really nice. Like that look.
Definately belongs in a frame.:)

[aliflack]

thank you so much!

I don't see why not - any moderators on hand to answer??

[Skip Souza]

thank you so much!

Please do. We can all learn together.

[lisa1969]

Ok I hope this works. I dont use this feature very often. I use these quite a bit but definately play with opacity, and history brush to tweak to taste.

Here is an example of 2 of the actions used over one another. I would love to be able to shoot hockey. Its my "dream". The rebel does not fair so well at 1600 behind dirty glass so I tried to "save" this pic this way. Actions arent for all pics but work nice for some. Hope this attachment works.

[lisa1969]

ok the zip folder is hiding under the picture. hope it works for everyone.

[Michael Almeida]

amazing shots and beautiful eyes those kids have!!
Nice poses and love the effect.

[Kristy]

These are beautiful Lisa. I remember seeing some of your earlier posts just after you got your camera. Looks like you are learning very quickly. Love the effects/coloring on these... stunning. Definitely for the wall frames! ;)

[kbyrd8455]

Wow thats nice I really the glow effect

[Thornfield]

These are excellent you should have both of these on your wall.

[sjwam]

How do I open the actions folder? Do I need a password? Sorry about the questions, I am trying to learn before I get brave and post!

I love both of your pictures!

[lisa1969]

First save them. Then open them and put them in the actions folder in Photoshop. I believe its Program Files~Adobe~Photoshop~Presets~Photoshop actions. Please let me know if you have any troubles.

[queenbee288]

These are terrific Lisa.

[Dante King]

great work here. Dont know how I missed it for so long.

[RAitch]

WOW! Very nice!!

[Sakia Warner]

Man those shots are fantastic.

I love the first one.. they have such peaceful, serene looks on their faces and their eyes just... glow almost.

I love them.. cant say it any better than that.

[ronosmena]

another great keeper lisa...thanks for the share

[drisley]

Your daughter is more natural in front of the lens than most models. Very impressive.

[lisa1969]

WOW thank you so much! I keep seeing this thread pop up and thank you thank you for the kind words. It is inspiring!

Lisa

[Vision Eyez]

WOW Lisa, your daughter is beautiful and like someone stated very natural infront of the camera, and the picture is great Im in the process of trying these actions on some of my photo's

[RAitch]

Sorry, when I saw it I had to bring it back up!!! ;)

[lisa1969]
