December Moon

I just thought I would share this photo with everyone.

this is the original photo:

using my workflow....first, i cropped the photo in CS2 and changed the coloring to directive positive in lightroom and adjusted the coloring to add more punch to the photo.

next I went into CS2 and using the clone tool...erased the condensation bubbles on the photo....and saved one version with and one version without the condensation.

next i took the photo back into lightroom and adjusted the fill light to make sure the foreground model was properly exposed.

then i adjusted the highlights, shadowing, and light and dark areas of the photo to increase overall drama to the photo.

lastly, I increased the contrast to the photo to add interest and intensity.

here are my two results...one with condensation, and one without. (the first and second photos are my editing versions.)

Why do I take photographs??

I take photographs because I love picking out the mundane that goes unnoticed everyday and freezing it in one frame.....that is able to convey how things so ordinary and unappealing can be so intensely wrought with history and beauty....and being able to show that unique beauty to others in a way that makes them realize how individual and beautiful the everyday can be.

Who is my audience?

Mainly myself....but also anyone who who appreciates unique beauty and individuality....I use photographs as a history of my emotional development.....rather then a depiction of history itself...the photos I take and how I take them and edit them is directly related to what emotions i'm feeling at the time or what changes are going on in my life.

Why do I want to share?

I enjoy sharing my photos because of the reactions I get out of people by viewing them....I also appreciate constructive criticism so that I may improve my photographic technique. Showing there is beauty in some of the most disastrous situations and places, all you have to do is look.....not all is lost...there is beauty in everything...however small and unimportant it may seem to the accusing eye.

David Claveau Week 8 - Editing photos

Adding a spot of color to a black and white photo. Of course, I had to make the photo B & W first.

David Claveau Week 6 - making mistakes

Subject Blur - the subject of the picture, the swimmer, is blurred do to her motion, not mine.







Motion blur - the background of this photo is blurred because I moved the camera with the athlete to keep her in focus, which resulted in a cool motion blur with the background.







Depth of field






Overexposure - the snow is washed out.








Underexposure - It is dark and grainy.







Wrong White balance

Sharing Portfolio

I have been putting up some old photos on facebook recently, but I shared them on flickr, because I don't think everyone can see them on there. Here are some of my favorites that I have come across.
