I create a pastel background then use various brushes in to paint on the different colors. After that I push, pull, twist, and turn until I get something I like. Many times I will take a previous picture and layer it and contort it even more to get a different effect. I delete a lot of pictures to get something I like. There's really no secret to it.
Would only let me put 10 in a single post.
New spin on some old doodles:
I tend to fix things till I break them. That way I know I'm done. After fixing the eyes I can see myself standing there.
One final attempt with Affinity and PSP. I should have gotten closer and had a proper white balance to start with and I wouldn't have had to do all the extra editing and cropping. Live and learn, learn and live.
I looked at the white balance setting on my camera and it was set to custom. A few weeks ago I ordered a white balance, grey balance and a black card. I wanted to see the difference between auto, white, and grey balance with my camera. I did this at night under LED lighting. All of my lights in my home are LED with soft diffuse bulbs. I forgot it was still set to custom and the night before I took the shot of the dog I downloaded the new firmware for my A73 which includes animal eye AF. So that's what I was focusing on and missed the white balance setting. Even though I am 70 years old I can still remember my name.
When you fiddled did you fiddle with saturation also?
This is the original jpg from the camera. I also have RAW. The Sun is setting right behind the dog's head and the dog is high energy and doesn't stay put for more than a second especially when he can see me. He jumps up and down so given the lighting conditions and the energy of the dog this was the best I could do.
I walk around my complex every day 5 times around which makes a mile and a 1/4. This little dog named Peanut waits for me every day to pass by and pet him. The owner lets him out on her porch and he sits on a chair and watches for me. She is putting up a screen around her porch and this is the last time I could get a shot of him peeking over the railing. An art gallery is having an "Animal Photo" contest-exibit and I'm going to enter this picture.
I was on vacation one time and I accidentally butt bump set my ISO to 4000 and didn't notice it till I got home. It was a real bummer. All the shots were in bright sunlight and all could have been done at 100 or 200.
From what I understand after I moved away Pam, Lola's owner, took her to the vet and the cat was perfectly healthy. After giving the cat some medication the vet gave her she got sick and died. Pam thinks that Lola scratched the lady vet and she got even with the cat. The lady vet was questionable.
Lola was walking towards me to be petted. She was a neighbor's cat and we were buds.
This is just my opinion and I'm far from an expert but after downloading both photos it appears as though the are different pictures taken from the same location. The person in the background is a couple of steps to the left from the first photo and the clouds are in a different potion in relation to the trees. Given the people and the vehicles in the background it looks like the pictures had to have been taken within seconds of each other. How many photos did you take when you was standing there?
Apparently if you post them to a website with the terms of use that Uglyhedgehog has then they can do whatever they want with them without your permission. I didn't know that until I just read an article with a partial list of sites that has those terms of use. In order to use those sites you agree when you post something. Most people, including me, ever read site rules and regulations.
It looks like there are three people in the water. The closest person is in exactly the same pose in both photos. I don't know how the figure next in front of the truck is in a slightly different location but it could have been caused by cropping the photo. All three people in the same potion in both is too much of a coincidence.
