cool, and i can't disagree with any of that.

the blemish and lines…i'll address that because it's a common problem….my rule is, if a blemish won't be there next week, i remove it. i don't edit birthmarks or tattoos unless specifically asked, and for one simple reason: it's much harder to do it right than most people imagine, and it's hard to get paid for the time it takes.

same thing with those lines…that can be a rabbit hole. the best thing, if it's an issue, is to just slow down the shoot until they disappear, but, time is always at a premium so it's a judgement call.

Very nice. I agree with everyone about the blur but that's part of this industry when it comes to shoots. I like the angle, pose, etc. I would watch out for the cords next time. I just edited a shot where I forgot about one of my lenses on the counter. A second pair of eyes would be great in these shoots lol.

I agree with Adonis and totally get why they were left. Great shots.

the subject of tat removal has come up a lot lately and since i'm home with a cold i figured i can ad something to illustrate my point above….

this removal took me 2 hours of steady work in photoshop. i'm sure there are people who could do it faster and better, but when making my target rate depends on only having 6-8 hours total in the project it better be DAMN fast. and, this is only one image from the set….

Very well done...I hope to be able to remove tats like that one day! Until then I think I will use Dermablend when needed!

^thank you.

here's something else from the discussion on my first shot with the missing toe that i remembered later...that day i was using a 50mm lens, which on my canon 1diii has a field of view about equal to a 65mm lens (1.3x crop factor sensor).

i remembered that when i was shooting that, i kept backing into the wall...i couldn't get far enough away. lens selection is important when you consider the size of the space you're working in! if you have a lens like my 24-70l, it's tempting to dial it back to 30 or 40mm, but you WILL get some distortion at that range.

my point is, always know your equipment and how it will perform in any given environment.

~And it's almost always better to shoot wide open if you can. 70 is generally more flattering than 50 and 120 is generally more flattering than 70 and 200 is generally more flattering than all of the above. This is due to the compression factors in the glass.

absolutely. shoot the biggest lens you've got room and money for!

using the term "wide open" might confuse some, though, since that usually refers to a wide open aperture.

^try increasing the fill light - may be called shadows in lr5 - to bring more detail into the dress. i think you'll like it better.

I would like to know how you can shade a certain area but not the other areas like what you are talking about! I tried to use the brush, but since I'm new I just get frustrated! I guess it's one of those times, you take a couple of breaths and just play with the burn/dodge! Instead of throwing the computer across the room...cause it's only half way like what you want it to be! :0


I just get so excited and try to edit to fast....smh I know, newbie gitters!

i understand completely…the lightroom brushes take some practice, but when you get good, they rock!
