Sara early in the morning (black and white)…

Sara bw, originally uploaded by Tor-Ivar.

Working on my Photoshop-skills… tried out a new tutorial for smoothing out skin on people… still not getting it perfect, but managed to get a pretty decent frame out of this one… Check out this tutorial if interested.

Using masks and blur-filters in Photoshop for smoothing skin on selected areas… I guess some more practice is needed. In addition, I created a slightly over-exposed look (so it’s on purpose:-)the original was decent exposed, I think)…

Captured with natural light one early morning, using my 450D and my 50mm f1.8 (yes, I really like this lens for portraits:-))

hongkongphooey - Have you tried the new Lightroom 2? the smooth skin brush is just plain awesome, easy to use, no hassle.

Thanks for linking BTW.November 10, 2008 – 12:54 am

Fitch - I’ll admit it – I know NOTHING about photography … my camera always stays locked and loaded on the “AUTO” function so everything is automatically taken care of for me.

But I do know what I like … and I love black and white photography!

Love this photo! Innocent beauty at its finest!November 3, 2008 – 2:55 pm
