Category: sports / action? ~ Are there some ants playing footie that I can't see?

No seriously, just trying to bring some humour to the boards.

Nice pic although colours and contrast a little subdued.

You too have the same camera as myself (excellent!) so I know that the camera produces pics that are a little flat straight from camera.

I don't know your skill level but a little tweak in either PS (try autolevels in menu which usually get it about right) or another package would bring it up and improve it no end.

I have PSP 7 & 8, but I am having some difficulty with them, I think I should find a class somewhere on how to use them.

I too have PS 7 but have gone back to PS LE. There is so much in these programmes to learn and how much do we generally use?

I try to stick to certain 'main' items; levels, colour, contrast etc dodging and burning and cropping. Learn a little and do it well.

err..any chance you give lessons???
Seriously, like most of us on here work gets in the way of my hobby, I have noticed that most mags support photoshop but I can't afford it!

I certainly do not think that this shot is too dark. The light is just right for an early morning shot. My only temptation would have been to give a very long shutter speed, say 15 to 20 seconds to allow the water to flatten out, giving that lovely mirror image. I think you can do that on a 602 if memory serves me well.

You did well to leave this shot simple and not play with it too much. It works extremely well as it is, a very delicate and atmospheric shot which draws us in immediately. Very effective. Well done!

Hi Laura.

Only joined this ephotozine tonight but its great to see so many photos and comments by other members.

I too could of done with some lessons when I started out (and still do! Theres so much to learn.)

Like you work got in the way and I am about to take the plunge and try and start full time after christmas. Watch this space.

Anyway to show you what a minor adjustment does to it I have took your file into ps. Only thing is you don't seem to have an email in your details so that I can send you what I have done.

Email me and I'll send it on: [email protected]

Keep taking those pics - it's a great camera the 602.

Beautifully mellow colours, and as suggested, maybe a touch of auto levels or auto contrast - if you don't like the end result you can always cancel it!

Hello Laura. Another 602Z owner, I love it, but as tezza says flat straight from camera. I use PS Photo Album 4 to download, it has a Quick Fix button which I find lifts the shot. My main tweaking, if I do any at all is then transfered to Photosuite 2.
Keep up the good work.
