Default Re: Some Pictures Took that I Like- Enjoy!!

Tron,

Using gimp I've adjusted the levels and contrast on all of these. My camera tends, even without flash, to take pictures a little washed out, so I'm mostly correcting for that. These are less produced than a lot of my food pictures, which sometimes have the contrast ramped up by 50% (part that is being indoors with bad photo lighting and a [censored] flash).

Frankly, the biggest part of post production is just artfully cropping the images. Makes a huge difference in terms of composition and stuff like that.

A good deal of this I learned from my father, and infrequent OOT poster Spanaway Vin.

The more I get into this, the more likely it is that i'm going to end up dropping money on an SLR.
