Alisha L. Ekstrom |
I've decided that I am posting what I do in the comments section. 50mm 1.8 lens, manual mode, 1/60sec(WOW), F2.5...VERY HIGH ISO..just can't remember what..I do know it wasn't above 800 though. This image was VERY underexposed due to I had to be QUICK. She stayed in her room for an hour & WOULD NOT come out. Just kept crying..."I'M NOT GETTING MY PICTURE TAKEN":) SOOOO when she FINALLY decided to put on the tutu & come out...I happened to turn around & there she was...soo I just snapped. SOOO needless to say I didn't adjust my settings accordingly! Dup the layer..changed it to screen mode(this helps brighten under exposed images). Then flatten. Turned b&w using calculations. Then used curves to brighten a bit more.

How sweet you are!!! Thanks* Keeps me from having to flip pages in shutterbug all night!!! hahahaha.... Gorgeous this is, her upward look along with holding her hands...is absolutely wonderful. Getting a shot like this is a one in a million!! I adore your crop & angle. The black and white contrast are SUPER as always.

Alisha, thank you for giving the steps you took to produce this beautiful image! She's lovely, and it looks so perfect...being a mom and a photographer can be a challenge, but when you get something like this...wow, and thanks again!

I am TOTALLY with Chastity on that-- HUGE thanks to you Alisha for sharing the tech info. Those of us on here to learn and better our technique and skills REALLY APPRECIATE people like you, who are willing to help us out!!! It is extremely nice to run across someone so generous with the technical side of things :) Big "props" to you!!! I LOVE the sweet little look she has. Playing with her fingers. What emotion expressed here! And a HUGE "WOW-FACTOR" in black and white. You kept the tones and shadows perfectly! The contrasts are simply beautiful. I am a very big fan of "a different angle" on photographs. It is quite appealing to the eye and structure. I think you did a marvelous job on your corrections. It is hard sometimes to get a "good" photograph when your subjects don't want you to in the first place :) (been there! ha ha) I think is is gorgeous Alisha!!! :) Lavone'

I love the mood of apprehension you caught here, Alisha. She's so cute, but you can see she just isn't quite sure about getting her picture taken. When her mom sees this shot, she'll remember, yeah, that year she didnt want her picture taken! da
