Really? I was trying to get into the digitial photography class which mainly revolved around photoshop.

 

I've tried 3 different photo classes at the community college level.. They were all pretty poor... 4 years of HS photo from way back and I knew more than the profs.. It's unfortunate.. I'm sure there has to be a good photo program out there run by an actual photographer.. But I never found one..



Speaking of artifacts - just because a lens is old, does not mean it isn't useful..

Taken with a nearly 50 year old 55mm MicroNikkor-P

 

Wow those are really good! Makes me want to get the Micro more and more

 

Thanks.. Well those are all manual focus and exposure action on an ancient lens.. I was experimenting..

Nikon's optics have been superb for a loooooooong time. The older you go on the lens, the more manual action you have to be willing to put up with..

 

Last pic "whatcha looking at!!" those are some great close ups!!

 

Tell me guys what looks better, the original face or the touched up face?

 

Are you going for the all natural look or glam?Touched up looks good for sure.

 

I don't really know what I was going for

I kind of just sat there and touched up all the beauty marks, smoothed out the skin and then lightened up the circles under the eyes. Doesn't look too over the top does it?

 

Oops it looks like I actually messed up part of her hair and forgot to fix it

 

Wouldn't really noticed it was touched up if you didn't post the before shot,then again I'm looking at it from a cellphone not overdone at all

 

Well that's good then, thanks!

I took a bunch of pics yesterday, here's some of my favorite ones.
