Description

I chose this one for a couple of reasons: Her face had makeup on it, so making it "oily" wouldn't hurt it (I did try to use the brushes on her eyes too); the background needed to be changed and the flash shadow needed to be eliminated. I used chalk brushes on the background, then added some texture with colored brushes by clicking randomly. I used oil brushes for her hat and cape and found the fabric texture fun to work with. Finally, I cropped the shoes out and added a render light to bring interest back to her face.

Exif: F Number: 3.5, Exposure Bias Value: 0.33, ExposureTime: 1/60 seconds, Flash: fired, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 100, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 35.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS 40D

BetterPhoto Websites: If you see an orange website link directly under the photographer's name, it's totally okay. It's not spam. The reason: BetterPhoto is the one that offers these personal photography websites. We are supporting our clients with those links.

Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
