This past weekend I took some pictures of my daughter for a prompt, and at first I thought there would be too much sun/shadow in them. I was taking them near our large kitchen window and the sunlight was casting brightly into the shots. But I was pleasantly surprised when I uploaded them at how they looked, and I had fun editing them to make the shadows/light even more dramatic. The tulle on the tutu is a great fabric to photograph - the texture of it captures so much light and shadow. I also love how worn the pointe shoes are...it shows the reality of a dancer's shoes: lots of wear and tear. I'm sharing these two completely different effects I achieved today at The Creative Exchange...click on the button at the bottom of this post to see more wonderful images!
I love love that first shot...the sunshine, the textures and those worn shoes make for a perfect shot....You did a super job with your editing....
ReplyDeleteI am still so new at editing that half the time I don't know how I got to a certain point but it sure is fun.....
Outstanding!
ReplyDeleteCalling by as another participant from the Creative Exchange, what lovely compositions.

ReplyDeleteLove your shots - very dreamy looking.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Gorgeous! Gorgeous!! Stunning captures!! So dreamy in feel but yet completely tangible - that pink iPod and earbuds she's holding in the one photo, is brilliant! Sherri, you've got to frame these!
ReplyDeleteOh my, these are both gorgeous..but that FIRST shot is breathtakingly beautiful to me. The contrast between light and dark, the way the shadows are falling. Truly a piece of art you created.
ReplyDeleteYou must be so pleased with these - great use of light as well as the contrast. Really lovely work.
