What is next? Pop Art edit.

Hi everyone, I have been trying out something that is new to me, but not new at all. I have always been a fan of pop art. You know the stuff that Andy Warhol is so famous for. I have saw this done many times with images, I just was never sure how to do it. Well last night I decided I was going to learn. I have taken some techniques from various Photoshop pros, and combined them some of my own that I figured out, and this image is the result....

I will be putting together a two part tutorial on how I did it, but will be using another image. So if you are interested in how to do one of these pop art images yourself, make sure to follow this blog and keep checking back. I will be putting the first part together very soon.

Until next time... Keep shooting!

Photo Editing

Today I am going to do something a little different. I am not going to be showing how to shoot an image, but how to fix one. I have chosen an image that was already good to start with. It has already been used in a magazine ad, but I think it could be even better. I shot this image of Tiffany Rhodes down at Indian Lake, Ohio last summer for Raw Talent Clothing Co. RTC loved it, and so did I at the time. Now however the murky color of the water bothers me, as well as the paleness of the sky. Tiffany looks great, and the Raw Talent shirt stands out wonderfully, but... I think she could look even better. So now how to fix the problems that I see? How can you make that murky water appear more pleasing? How do I brighten up the sky? And what to do to make Tiffany stand out and look even better than she already does? Well... you can watch the video to see exactly what I did. In this video I had no set plan, just the questions I have mentioned. So you will get to see it as it cam to me, step by step, including a mistake that I seem to make often. I just get so involved in what I am doing that I will miss an important step every now and than. I am only human. I hope you like this video and please feel free to comment. If there is something that you would like to see covered please let me know, and I will do my best to help you out. Until next time... Keep Shooting.
