Sometimes, my greatest ally is sheer dumb luck. As I got out of the car, "Billie Jean" was blasting at 80 decibels, even though the sound system was was a half a block away. This man was on his own planet. I just grabbed the camera out of the back of the station wagon and had a frantic feast, in sports mode. I know it's good practice to pick the best photo and post only that one, but I just couldn't do it. These are all adjusted a little, for exposure, saturation, contrast, and cropped for interest, aesthetic contrast, and to remove some of the back hatch strut from one that was just too good to throw out. Am posting these just because I like them.D70S with 18-55 1:3.5-5.6
My question is really about levitation photography. I said in my first post that I am on a pretty tight budget, and can't afford Photoshop, but I have purchased a copy of Corel PaintShop Pro Ultimate, with hopes of learning to use transparent layers to do levitation. I asked for technical help at Corel, and they said they don't have a tutorial for that, but I told them that was the wrong answer if they were selling me this program. They said they would get back to me. I am thinking if I knew how to use layers, well, i should be able to use any of the better programs to do this. Perhaps my question should be should the background picture be taken first, with a tripod, then the subject inserted in different positions for layering the best one into the background, then removing the props, somehow.
I got great help, in reply to my first post, here, and look forward to your comments. Now that I'm into my second post, is "Introduce Yourself" the wrong place to post?
