too bad its so washed out and OOF she is lovely.

hmmm... maybe the hatred is not directed at the camera.. but at the person who makes her carry the heavy tripod?? ;)

my thoughts exactly - she is a lovely subject to shoot.. but.. the everything is really blown out and she is out of focus - nevertheless... the idea is great! :)

Is she smilling because she kows your tripod will be dropped in 2 seconds? :D

I like the expression. a pitty about the though exposure and focus.

[mnfinnkidd]

yeah..i'll try to get her to take some more photos..i tried later that day and she refused to stand anywhere but near me. And if she did drop my tripod it would be in Mississippi. I should have been using it for the shot. probably because of camera shake. Also this is a crop of another photo. I've attached it below..staight from the camera plus some webberizing. And just so you know. She got a world famous (probably not) Annie's Parlor Shake later that day on me for caring around the tripod. i'll see what i can do about the washout..does anyone have an cool photoshop ideas?

[mnfinnkidd]

now looking at this photo more myself. i can see i did some color errors...the sky is light blue in the original. I should have accentuated that if i could. I think she is in focus..i just over sharped maybe?

[mnfinnkidd]

well i started from with the original photo again..and got this...

Just a friend? Come on... she's carrying your tripod! ;)

Try playing with the Curves and Colour Balance a little.

Her face is out of focus. Looks like the focus point is her shoulder.

[mnfinnkidd]

Probably is on her shoulder....from the original image that's where the focus would have lined up. I need to get her to take more photos where i can focus on her face but i don't see that happening soon because she's feels wierd in front of the camera and all...

Just a friend? Come on... she's carrying your tripod! ;)



And she is just a friend...
She's Awesome girl...with a fiancé

My crush is transparent but that's one of those things you just have to get over that certain people fit together better...But here's yet another tweak on the photo. More contrast.
