Cropping, copy and paste, darkening, posterizing, sharpening, oil paint, bordering, stretching width, and secret words.

Poor focus, etc

I have to say, the way to fix a poor photo is to learn to take a good photo! lol

I love the result. I've tried some of those techniques, just for fun, and I always just end up with a big mess.

This is lovely!

Thanks for the friendly question. The software was Photoshop. Fixing the focus was the first step then the lighting and then cropping.

I've been taking photos for Thirty years. The reason for this bad photo (there have been some other ones) was a home owner glaring at me through a window and fatigue after walking with several heavy lenses and a Canon camera for several miles in the sun. But that's how I keep my weight down to 170 at six foot two at age 71 1l2. The lens I used is a 24 MM shift-tilt lens which does not autofocus. Old habits die hard. :)

Perhaps you'll take a picture of your own shadow and upload it here.


This is such a nice site, except for the occasional moment.
