Hydrangea

Another practice with filters, masks, layers, etc., in Photoshop to enhance photos. A camera is only the beginning. I work in manual mode, sometimes using manual focusing, as this is what it takes to learn the interrelationship of shutter speed, aperture settings and ISO speed. Working in digital affords this possibility whereas film photography couldn't.

Wireless Lighting

Not much going on today, and the heat is on outside, so I thought I would get a little practice done with my wireless speedlites. Not the greatest subject matter, but hey, I'm the only one here. I have a big mirror in the studio, so I shot myself. Also, learned a little more about working with Camera Raw files in that when opening them up to convert to 16-bit and increase the size first. Then, do the magic and open in Photshop.
