stemked Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 <p>It's just Sunday here. I'm up late with work and I need a break so I thought I'd start the POTW with a question for you all. I'm still a rookie when it comes to Photoshop. To be honest, short of cropping and a tweek or two on exposure I really don't like to do a lot of PS. <br> So I am going to ask your opinion on the following two images. I was driving at night along Mungo Bush Garden road near Hawks Nest, New South Wales when I caught a bit of Golden Eyeshine. And there in a tree was a Common Ringtal Possom. The only problem was the eyeshine, it was bizzar. </p> <p>In nature photography photography clubs typically there is a 'no-modification clause short or cropping and exposure tweaking, but all the contestants seem to do quite a bit of it and never seem to get disqualified, not that I would want to enter this image anyway. <br> So I've had a go at changing the eye color; removing the eyeshine. I wanted y'alls opinion if I did it okay, or how I could improve on the change. Gotta learn somehow. Thanks!</p> <p><img src="http://d6d2h4gfvy8t8.cloudfront.net/17958176-lg.jpg" alt="" width="612" height="700" /><br> Ringtail, Cropped, otherwise unmodified<br> <img src="http://d6d2h4gfvy8t8.cloudfront.net/17958177-lg.jpg" alt="" width="571" height="700" /><br> Cropped, Eyeshine removed in photoshop.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hjoseph7 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 <p>The Photoshoped image looks more natural to me. Did you use the Red-Eye tool ?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stemked Posted February 1, 2015 Author Share Posted February 1, 2015 Harry, No, I actually used the softbrush. I zoomed way in and replaced them, pixel by pixel. I didn't even know about the red eye tool.Sine the animal has a different eyeshine color, would it work? (Over the years I seem to have acquired quite a collection of these types of images). Thahs Harry. Look forward to seeing everything else today. Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickW Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 <p>Busy lately, and doing very little shooting; but I have been reviewing my 2014 pix. <br> First, a bridge in the Wissahickon section of Philly's Fairmount Park:<br> <img src="http://d6d2h4gfvy8t8.cloudfront.net/17950406-lg.jpg" alt="" width="576" height="720" /></p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickW Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 <p>Finally, Lora's Granola.

duane_mills Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 <p>I'm late to the party this week folks! The weather has been challenging so I have been limited to a few indoor shots. Here are two from the past week. The first photo is of my kids.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattB.Net Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 <p>Douglas, I was going to suggest leaving the eyes alone on that shot but after looking at your fix I agree it looks better. But does it look accurate? Does that animal have pupils like that? If so then great job! If not I'd try to match how they normally look.<br />.<br />Our streak of nice sunsets continued into this week. Here's one from the Gunnison river near my house. <br />K-3 & DA* 16-50<br /><a title="IMGP2691-Edit by Matt Burt, on Flickr" href=" src="https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7313/16198692657_4da4a6b4ae_z.jpg" alt="IMGP2691-Edit" width="640" height="426" /></a><br />.<br />Here's a friend of mine celebrating the opening of new terrain at the ski area on Friday. We could really use some more snow (send that Eastern snow this way!) but this newly opened steep terrain was pretty nice that day! It's probably all packed down and firm by now. <br />K-3 & DA* 16-50<br /><a title="IMGP2791-Edit by Matt Burt, on Flickr" href=" src="https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8576/15787568473_3aeb4e5981_z.jpg" alt="IMGP2791-Edit" width="640" height="426" /></a><br />.<br />I shot some photos of a local XC ski race on Saturday. All ages participated and I thought this little guy with his dog was especially cute!<br />K-5 & DA* 60-250<br /><a title="IMGP2728 by Matt Burt, on Flickr" href=" src="https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8671/16239275327_edd7a4fa9b_z.jpg" alt="IMGP2728" width="640" height="424" /></a></p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stemked Posted February 7, 2015 Author Share Posted February 7, 2015 <p>Matt,</p> <p>I went looking at other images to get it as close as I could. I felt odd doing it, but the eye-shine really was strange.</p> <p>Love that river image. Beautiful.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
