CB Posted January 18, 2009 Posted January 18, 2009 Oh Man, Mike! that's one killer fade job!! Wowser!! You say your pix are a little washed out? I'm liking the paint on this shot a lot! You might look into putting your camera on manual and see if'n you can adjust the exposure. My little Canon A580 has a feature where you can adjust the exposure for just such times. You just hit the 'OK' button and all the adjustments come up, and when you adjust the exposure (lighten or darken the shot) you get a preview in the screen. Press 'OK' again, and shoot.

Thanx John, I normally like to use 2 scrims as reflectors when shooting under bright sun middays here. On these shots I was lazy..just a flat board to shoot on and a little fill flash..and with these as WIP photos I'm not too worried about this batch.I normally like to shoot in Aperature mode...and these were shot wide open and I ran out of room..and thats what photoshop is for!!!
