I found this in my inbox yesterday morning, and I really want to give it a try: How to Create a Ghostly Portrait. How fun would that be?
I was also perusing this article: Give Yourself an Honest Portfolio Review, and I’ve come to the conclusion that I’m solidly between stages Three and Four. I think my main hurdle is post-processing. I have been playing around in PSE for about 2 years now, but I’m not as comfortable doing things with it as I would like. Perhaps it’s time to take a class….
That being said, I will probably continue to take macro photos of flowers. They are a beautiful, usually readily available, and I love photographing them in unique ways (or at least I try to). I would like to see if I can get past stage three, and even stage four to get on with stage five. I understand that this means learning loads more, and getting comfortable photographing objects and in ways I’ve never tried before.
Pretty. I like your option of going with B&W. It’s funny, but I was taking photos of ducks at a small pond near my home this morning before heading to work. This photo reminded me of that, and I thought how ironic that I would see a picture of what I was photographing just this morning. Neat shot. Thanks for sharing it with us. –Lori
haha great minds think alike, right? Ducks are fun, silly subjects when up close, and calm, peaceful ones from a distance.
Go for it. You have the talent for it.
Thanks, I’m still trying to decide if I do! haha
