Photography and Photoshop
Well, I finally decided to take up photography. I'd been a bit reluctant because I couldn't afford a decent digital slr until now. Prices are dropping faster than Sony's stocks, and I'm about to bite the bullet. I have my eyes set on a Canon 400D.
But for now, I'll have to make due with my standard point and shoot camera, and I'm learning the ropes when it comes to photshop postprocessing. Let me give you guys an example. I took the following picture in april through a balcony in the Musée d'Orsay in Paris.
Yeah, the weather sucked. I know. But the picture seemed a bit interesting nonetheless. The edge of the wall on the left side was tilted and wasn't completely vertical and the rail at the bottom wasn't horizontal either, so I corrected that. And then I used my photoshop magic to get the contrast out, and fix all that flatness in the colours and that uninspiring greyness. Et voila!
Look at the clouds! Blue White Red, like the french flag, and I didn't do that, that was in the picture btw.
Hope you like it, until next time.
Cheers

G'day mate,
It's been a long time since I last checked your blog. I just wanted to tell you that I love it. I find it very creative, even inspiring. I've always wanted to have one but it's just something that would take me heaps of time(especially precious hours of sleep hehe)... so I really can't be bothered at the moment.
It's funny how you post each entry as if you were talking to a huge audience, makes me feel so insignificant! hahaha
Thanks for the photography lesson. Nice pictures, keep up the good work.
Un abrazo,
