    Hello Julien! Long time since I've been on photo.net and it is good to see you here still! I like this image and agree with the comment that the rainbow colors and the water work extremely well here. Hope all is well with you! Judi
  1. It is the same technique that used to be done with slides, so called "slide sandwich" technique. Here is the technique done with a digital camera: 1) take one shot; 2) take another shot (exact same) but this time defocus a little and increase your brightness level; 3) take the 2 shots into PS as 2 different layers with the defocused one on bottom; 4) change the opacity of the top layer until you have the effect you want. It works best with mid-tone shots. I took several shots and then chose the two that I liked the brightness level on one of the defocused ones. A tripod is obviously critical. A lack of wind is also important. You can also do this entire technique in PS with just one shot but that takes the photo-technique out of it.

     

    Thank you all for your kind comments! I appreciate it!

    I happen to like the mysteriousness of not knowing what she is looking at. I think if she were looking at her ring or flowers, I would roll my eyes from the tedium of a pose that is so outdated and overused. I like the tree, I like the placement of her hand on the tree. I am concerned for why this subject looks somewhere between sad and worried.
  2. I like the photo, and what really drew me to it is the man sitting at the bottom. I think it lends it such a different effect than if it were just of the lighthouse. The fact that he looks sad and the lighthouse looks like it has seen better days itself is fantastic!
  3. I agree with nose and mouth looking powdered, but this is one CUTE little cowpoke! From a technical perspective, I don't think it's a "10" but I also don't understand some of the extremely low ratings on this photo. Keep snapping shots of this little guy!

    I hate to be critical because you were so kind to my photographs. The way the sun comes down in this photograph is cool, but it kind of overwhelms my eyes. I am not going to rate, but I do look forward to other shots of yours.
