February 2012 - Swan

How I Did It:

Taken in the late afternoon, this image needed very little adjustment. Shot in RAW, I only needed to do an exposure adjustment and clone out a metal rod protruding from the water. I love the ripples and reflection in the water. .


COMMENTS:

Administrator "Food for Thought" as you make your comments: These come from the PSA Image Analysis course, Creativity & originality, Lighting, Dimension/Perspective, Impact. How does the image make you feel? Noise and /or Grain, Focus, depth of field, Tonal range, Image Balance, Composition, Line, eye movement, Exposure, Do the elements within the frame feel comfortable. Also from the course are these suggestions; Split your comments in two, 1) Describe as many elements as you can that are done well, and why. If you have a comment you should have a reason. 2) Describe as many elements as you can that need help, and why. If you have a comment you should have a reason. If you have a fix for the problem say it here. This is where you help the maker and don't hesitate to send a small image of what you consider to be an improvement of the image.

Member Bio

h

Retirement has afforded me the opportunity to pursue new interests. I cannot think of a hobby that I would enjoy more. It has opened my eyes, like never before, to the world around me. I now look at light and shadow, the wonders of Nature, and the faces of strangers with a new appreciation for that moment in
time.

I have made new friends who share this interest through membership in a local camera club. We continue to inspire and encourage each other in our personal goals. Photo trips near and far offer the excitement of exploration and discovery!  No longer interested in looking in gift shops for a remembrance from a trip; it's what I can capture with my camera that I most want to take home!

My favorite subjects are our grandchildren of course,windows, doors, old and abandoned buildings and recently, street photography. I use a Canon 40D
and have Aperture, PE6, NIK Silver Efex and Topaz Adjust for photo editing. I joined PSA in March and I'm taking advantage of the many opportunities offered to new members. Looking forward to working with and learning from the fine photographers in this group!
