Don't let the RAW workflow scare you away, Breane. That is a nice shot and a good start in the studio. If you have any questions about any of it, please ask.

You must have felt me thinking of you all last week or I must have felt you thinking of me. What deployment? What ship are you on?

Good to hear from you.

I was cruzing through this cyber city when i saw ur pic go floatin by. Thought id drop this line 2 say hi. Names Randy. Peace

After a year and a half of stalking my namesake I finally got a shot at him today! He's guarding the green on #1.

I've commented on your comments, and even uploaded a view of the histogram after the shot you were questioning, Bre. Go check it out.

Hey, Bre, you're in luck.
I just got back from a major trade show, where Adobe announced a free wed-based version of Photoshop coming up. In the interim, I would suggest looking into Picasa, which is free editing software from Google.

Good catch, Bre.
Here is the revised image:

Oh, and if you need any help in understanding Photoshop, please feel free to ask.
My adjustment of Lauren's gown was simple: Filters > Diffusion That makes the highlights glow a little.

You are SO right, Bre!
I had missed that I desaturated her shoe, and I shouldn't have.
I will fix that.
THANKS.

Hi my name is Abe and I'm on here trying to make friends with other photographers. I am not trying to be nosey or sound like a nosey guy but I read a journal message you wrote not sure when you wrote it but a similar experience happened to me and I actually went to get a lawyer and sued the lady for stealing my pictures. I would highly recommend you do this! It would not be fair on your part if someone went out there saying they took the pictures and that pictures end up making a big deal. Do you know what I'm saying? I really see you were trying to help someone but most people who cant afford to pay a photographer to take pictures of there children or let alone pay you back for prints usually cant help themselves and there are reasons people get to the point of no money it happens because 9times out of 10 the put themselves in that place. Like I said not sure when that was written but I felt to voice my opinion. Hope things get better for you. I see you are in the Navy maybe you can get JAG to help you with this???? Thank you for serving the USA!!!

Hi Bre,
great to hear from you after all this time.

since we last 'spoke', I've been over in your direction!, was in Orlando in january, and loved it!

hope alls well with you

Hey there,

good to hear from you. look forward to the pictures. I see you've added an album but no pics yet... look forward to seeing the pictures of kids pee'ing on the beach !! (also interested to see what the USS is?)

Jerry

hi,

I know what you mean, my friend has always used Canon and he thinks they are slightly better than the digital Nikons, but I like my D50 Nikon!

Hope your camera is ok!

jerry

hi Bre

nice new shots I've had a look at. Interesting comments about the dust on your camera, I wouldn't have noticed!!, also see you are off to a marine boot camp (?), look forward to seeing what you capture on the camera!!

hope you are well

jerry

Good shoot, Breane!

I don't even bother to ask "can I bring my camera?", as people know its a given that I don't go anywhere without it.*






*except the shower ;)

Hi, that's right! They are very similar... the building in you're picture is more interesting though! Nice idea! ;o)

Good luck!!

Welcome aboard, Breane.
Please let me know when you've posted some new shots, and I'll be happy to comment.

If you have any questions about any of my shots, I'd be happy to elaborate.

Bottom line?
Film is free, processing is instant...so EXPERIMENT!

Hi Bre,
