Here is a little peek at what some girls and I did today! More about that tomorrow, but I was so excited about how this photo turned out I just had to talk about it! We were trying a lighting technique that we learned this morning. The idea is to use your camera settings and flash to overpower the sun on a bright day. Here is the before -
Camera settings are 100 ISO, shutter speed 200, at f/16, with the flash remotely fired at her face at +3. The sun is behind her and slightly to the left.
This kind of photo is not really my normal style but I think it’s so cool looking. I went nuts with the Photoshop. To me this photo already has pop and pizzaz, so why not just add some more? =)
I used Totally Rad Actions and Kubota Actions on this photo. Here’s the recipe -
- A color adjustment layer where I brought out the blue sky and masked out Rach, the subject.
- Pro Retouch on her face
- Technicolor Dreamworld No Glow at 23%
-Daily Multivitamin without the pop-n-punch layer

(Favorite memory: Shep farted. Sniffed his fingers. Me: “Shep, where’d you learn to do that?” Shep, as if he understood: “Mommy!” hahahahaha!)
