Photo Challenge | Let’s Hear It For The Boys!

 

 This weeks photo challenge is Let's Hear It For The Boys!  This photo challenge makes me think of my son.  He is a smart and very funny little boy.  My entry is from last year at the beach.  We got him posed and he took care of the rest.  He has such a great personality that really shows!  

 

I hope you enjoy this weeks entry!

POST PRODUCTION

 I opened image in PS CS5.  I took out the sandals and full trash can in the back ground using the Content Aware Healing tool.  I then adjusted my Curves and added some Vibrance and Saturation to the colors.  Then I added the edging using OnOne Plugings.

IHF's Photo Challenge | Bright & Vivid

IHF's Photo Challenge | Bright & Vivid

This weeks Photo Challenge is Bright and Vivid!  I don't really have an image that stands out to me as Bright and Vivid.  But I do have a little 3 year old that is the definition of Bright and Vivid.  My entry this week is my son form his Valentine's Day shoot from this year.  It captures him as a funny, bright, amazing little boy!  To me he is Bright and Vivid.  Full of life and joy.  

I hope you enjoy the image:

Thanks to Mommy for the shirt and the balloon idea!

POST PROCESSING

I opened the image in PS CS5.  Added a layer copy to adjust my Curves for contrast and brightness.  I added some Pop with OnOne Plugins.  I then added my watermark and Copyright info to the file.

IHF's Photo Challenge | From a Distance

IHF's Photo Challenge | From a Distance

This weeks photo challenge is Portraits from a distance.  That means no close ups.  I immediately thought of this picture.  It is of my son and his Grandmother walking down the beach with there footprints behind them.  I love this picture!  And I hope you do too!  Here it is!

 

 I hope you enjoy this shot.  See below on post production.

POST PRODUCTION

The original image had beach goers and buildings in the background.  I thought it would be great to take out those items and have the focus and our subjects.  I use Photoshop CS5 with OnOne Plugins.  I opened the image up and did a copy layer to edit from.  I adjusted contrast using Curves.  Then used OnOne to  pop my colors.  I then made a new layer to edit the buildings and people out of the back ground.  I used the content aware healer to take everything out.  Once that was complete, I lassoed the footprints and darkened the contrast to make them pop out from the sand.  The I added my custom OnOne boarder and my water mark.  

I hope you enjoyed this brief description on how this image was made.  And of course the image itself!

Here is the image before the buildings and people were taken out:
