White Spots On Budgie Feet

fibers of light. Photos, of course. But not only

Okay, okay, okay.
promise I'll stop by the next post to make surreptitious advertising (but not too much) and I will dedicate the new tutorial.
But I could not tell you about this because it is a project in the works for so long (almost two years since the first concept to final draft) and there is a lot of us in here: it was reasoned, then decanted, demolished and rebuilt many of those times, I think that eventually, yes, we have succeeded.

"fibers of light" is really what we are and what we do. In fact, we like to do.
So without further chatter, I leave you to view this website.

Any consideration is, as always, more than welcome ... Use this area to comment, do not be shy: basically I do not bite! ;)
(that is, sometimes yes, but today I just happen to have already eaten)

Ranch King Snow Plow Attachment

The 5 Golden Rules Finally, the post-operative

Bad dreams We talked a lot in the past, techniques various post-production and photo retouching.
Lately, I have noticed, are a little 'short of ideas more than anything because I realize that the actions of editing that I sometimes do, are so specific and targeted to the particular photo that would not make sense to make it a tutorial.

For this reason, today I should be considering the matter in a somewhat 'more generic, and give you a list of 5 rules than actual rules are a summary of my personal modus operandi ...

  1. design editing : What I want to get?
    what is the result I want? what are the differences from the original?
    That does not mean that we can not achieve outstanding results going to trial and error, but often the time for attempts, and then there must be clear about the steps involved before you even open Photoshop (or Paint Shop or Gimp, or whatever is most comfortable)
  2. understand what it means mixing additive / subtractive : well learn how they behave when the pixels and colors are overlapping each other in different ways. In this way, often you get to the desired result by simply adding a few layer blend modes with "ad hoc") {
    example: try to duplicate the layer and set the mode Melting to Screen, Multiply and Overlay. Then do the same with the duplicate layer and converted to b / n. ..}
  3. every action causes a loss of information (however small) then always a copy of the original, and try to get the final result with fewer steps can (and different levels, so you can retrieve the "pieces" from the layers below)
    For the same reason, a good habit is to use adjustment layers adjustments rather than directly on the bare and raw level (Paint Shop has them, I do not know Gimp, Photoshop has made them much more "user friendly "by the CS4 and above).
    The reason is simple: the levels of regulation may at any time ..." off ".
    {So, for example, if you spent half an hour to clone via an unknown from your sun set over the New York skyline, and the last time that you decide what color balance that you had added to the beginning you do not like most, you will be happy not to have to start all over again ...}
    And then the adjustment layers are may mask. See Step 4.
  4. Layer masks are our friends : you never know when we will need to recover a portion of the image from one level after you have deleted. What is erased not recover, what is "masked" yeah!
    addition, be familiar with the mask allows you to make the 100% adjustment layers ... see 3
    So: take lots and lots and lots of confidence with layer masks.
  5. EXPERIMENT, EXPERIMENT, EXPERIMENT! never stop to what we can, but always seek new ways to get new effects! ;) {
    Maybe we avoid testing it on that important work that must be delivered within two hours, but in normal cazzeggiano photo I do and I'm sure each of us, we're testing all
    So there is} command "Cancel": P
    and then ... you made a copy of the original , no? ;)

What Part Of The Body Does Tendonitis Affect?

+ gift ideas ...?

E nel frattempo Ginger sta con gli ippopotami The "normal" people take advantage of the Immaculate Conception of the bridge to make the crib and the Christmas tree.
On the other hand, the "normal" people probably do not have at home a fierce and dangerous CAT devouring branches of plastic, with the troublesome nature kleptomaniac triggered by anything that has the air of having absolutely not be stolen, as (partial list): balls, bows, dolls, sheep ...
Therefore we, who are not so normal at the bottom, rather than set up an unlikely feline amusement park, we took advantage of unexpected free day to set up another: and so finally, in order to find a larger space, our mini photo studio (mini in size but super equipped) is up and running! :)

brings us to wheel the second item on the agenda: the gift ideas for Christmas 2010.
Have you thought, for this Christmas, a gift ... Photograph? Could you give an example
minibook photo to his girlfriend, boyfriend, sister, best friend.
Or make a nice calendar sexy / fashion / ironic / burlesque and give it to your sweetheart because you memories of you in each month of 2011!
Or ... give someone a photography course , private and intensive! Send a
fotodedica poster with a distant friend. Or prepare the original
Christmas cards, with the whole family dressed as ... Reindeer:)
And how about a nice layout photo book with your favorite photos for mothers and grandmothers? (Grandmothers go crazy for photos of grandchildren)

If you are already familiar with the camera and graphics software, most of these ideas can be original do-it-yourself solutions.
However, if you have Need an experienced hand (from a simple council intervention graphic / photo)
set a budget , send me a mail , and certainly something cool will come out! ;)
