I have been working a bit using this site and some great blogs that come from guest authors and others on the net. I don’t have great equipment right now so I am a bit limited but as the budget allows I will upgrade. The best thing I have learned so far is to not depend on Photoshop. It makes me work harder at learning to use the lens and get the shot in the moment rather than what I can do with it in Photoshop later. For this one I did use Photoshop a bit just to lighten it and feather Jake’s face a bit. The biggest challenge here was working around his excema around his eyes and upper cheek which leaves his skin quite red and flaky. I tried blending it but still keeping it natural. I just love his expression.
What a cutie!!!
