Pics for Etsy: First Batch of Pics
Jan. 20th, 2010 09:26 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
unforthHey all, based on my etsy post the other day, I've spent some time and (a little bit) more energy, and put together a post with the beginning pics I'm thinking about making into cards (see my previous post if you have no clue what I'm talking about ;) ). I kinda think the number I've got in here would be a pretty reasonable starting point. All of these are unedited. I haven't even gone through a lot of my sets, but it doesn't hurt to have more I can draw on if this goes well, and it's not worth over extending myself if it's gonna fall through.
These are all the raw images. See my other post from this evening for my first faltering attempts at doing photo manipulation.
I've numbered these images. Please, if you've got the time to look through this, it'd be super helpful if ya'll could tell me which numbers you LIKE, and which, if any, you think I'm wasting my time with. Don't worry. I won't be offended. The key is, how suitable is this image for being printed 4 x 6 and put on a card. That's all I care about.

I know it's a cliche, but if asked, I would say that I feel this to be the best picture I've ever taken.

I think this is a nice shot, but I'd clearly have to do a little bit of modification on it to remove those lens smears from the sky...

Re: Problem images.
Date: 2010-01-21 10:57 pm (UTC)Hehe. This is just bumped up contrast, subdued brightness and changed hue to make the sky look bluer after the other fixes bleached it. This took less than a minute.
I know there's an appeal to raw images, but even when I develop by hand I use tricks to change the same issues. Somehow digital will always feel like cheating though. :}
What camera are you using by the way? I have a Canon Rebel XTI, and I can put lens filters on it.
I'm almost positive J took this image with a UV filter on the lens, which cut the haze a lot.

Re: Problem images.
Date: 2010-01-25 04:51 pm (UTC)As to what type of camera I have, lol - I have absolutely nothing fancy. My camera is a Canon Digital Elph SD 1000 - I used to have a 660, which a couple of these photos are from (at least one of them, anyway) and before that I had the 220. I really like the Digital Elphs, but they're pretty basic. But - it's small and easy to use and fits in my pocket. ;)
