Pool shots

Medic85 · 15th of August 2007 (Wed)

I really hate to post a link but I can't resize enough to make the size requirements on these shots but tell me what you think. Shot with a XTi and 24-105L. I absolutely love that lens now! Minor curves adjustment, custom white balance, some exposure adjustments and USM, mild boost in saturation. I think that's all I did to them

What's not to like, it's a pool party, not a work of art.

What do you use for post processing? Doesn't look like ACR 4.1

CS2 and ACR.

By the way, I never said it was a 'work of art'.

These are pretty good, but why are you not using your flash? A little fill on these would be good. Let me know if you need some tips.

I can come down and show you if you want (what? stop calling me smart a$$, I can hear you

).

Medic85- you say that they were not works of art.

I posted one of my favorite images on another site and asked for C&C. The very first responder said, "What is your picture trying to say" I pleasently questioned her heredity and pointed out that it wasn't saying a thing, but it was pleasing to me and that was all that mattered.

My point is that they are works of art.

Ok, misunderstood what you were trying to say. Thanks everyone for the comments.

I never thought about bringing it out there. I'm still not too sure about using the fill flash either. I'll take you up on the offer and I never once called you a smart a$$

, or thought it

Cute shots! How old is your Caleb? I have a Caleb, too, who was born in April, 2006.
