I should add how this was accomplished any photo program that offers layers and masks. See screen shot. Lou Cioccio

Okay this Tom was just crossing the road. I got out of the car, boosted the ISO so I would have a high shutter speed to hand hold a 300mm F/4.5 AIS manual lens (D7K) and took maybe 4 or 5 shots of him. Now I did photoshopped three of the images on layers with a mask on each layer and brushed in...

Here are some film scans taken with a Topcon Uni I got at the PX in 1967. Some street scenes in Nhatrang Vietnam. Probably my first Photowalk just learning how to use the camera! Lou Cioccio

This was what I was referring to using the IR pulses from the flash to trigger a remote flash. Here is the image taken with non-nikon camera that is using the similar CLS that Nikon uses. Look at his glasses you can just see where the strobe flashes; its on a light stand with an white umbrella...

Here is one with a 300mm F/4,5 ED AIS manual lens and sometimes these are less expensive and they slow you down you have to manually focus and it does confirm. I forgot to switch the non-cpu lens in the menu from my 43-86 to the 300mm but I think every thing else is okay. I was using a tripod...

Here is one with the Tamron, I used a flash mounted in an umbrella on a light stand with 30% flash to the ambient light. If the exif is there its at F/3.5 to allow enough DOF for the grand daughter in sharp focus. As you can see the limb behind is OOF. Lou Cioccio PS Yes I do have a 1.8/85mm...

Make it fun then you can get the model to co-operate and now the grand daughter is a tree climber! Used a flash and umbrella at camera right, Sekonic Flash meter to get 30% flash contribution to the ambient light. Sky was bright with clouds going in front of the sun so light was constantly...

I did not get the Bronica SQ but went for the Bronica ETRS. The only 35mm film camera I kept was the Nikon FM; when I went digital, but I did have a refrigerator full of 15 rolls of film (5-color and 10 b&w 120 rolls) I figured a budget of 400$ and look around. I ended up with 1-ETRS, 75mm MC...

Here is a sunset but I noticed something going by Then this It came from here Nikon D7000 with a 300mm AIS F/4 manual film lens Gotta make one of those contraptions amazing bubbles that were a hit at the beach last Thursday 30 June 2015 at Lark Erie Presque Isle State Park. Lou Cioccio

I used a Nikon (Vivitar compatible flash) with a Bronica ETRS and got something I had not seen film days which was Ghosting! Here are two images. We had set up a "photo booth" to post on face book and my niece was running that station. I went around shooting both D7K and Bronica ETRS. The one...

Although I still have my Nikon FM I did pick up this month a Bronica ETRS, 75mm F/2.8 and a 150mm F/3.5. I had some old 120 Film Portra Color and B&W (C41). A friend of mine who retired gave me some of his stash but I kept it refrigerated. So I shot some the other day. The flower shot is with a...

What cwgrizz said is very good; in fact a lot of Joe Brady is very informative. Here is a shot of one of our club members. To his right is a large Appolo Softbox with a ½ Power strobe (Olympus FL-50) which is pointed back to the reflector surface. At his left is a 32 inch white circular...

You would just need crop down from the top of the head, just a tad tighter. Although I did not crop I did adjust the levels. See the screen shot. I just had to move the slider over to brighten his face. Not sure if you use Elements or full version photoshop. Lou Cioccio

Here are some from yesterdays event at Custaloga Town Boy Scout Camp just south of Meadville , PA. There will be another chance to take images on June 13 and 14 at 2015 Cook Forest French & Indian War Encampment On the second image is the smoke ring from the canon fire. Enjoy. Lou Cioccio

Not sure where to put this: May 30 and 31st 2015 at the Boy Scout Custaloga Town Scout Camp a group of French and Indian War re-enactors will be there. A group from out Computer Club (Digital Photography) will be there to take images. The wife and I have done this several times and this is good...

Cloudy and liquid sunshine later at Presque Isle State Park in Erie. We had a MeetUP for the 6AM to Noon with a 10AM Digital Photography Special Interest Group meeting and the DSLR Basic Class. With Erie PA Weather its a guarantee we will get weather. All in all it worked out albeit the...

Here are two crops of the same image one with negative space and one at a tight crop. The tight one is the one I liked. I also did the cropping in Affinity and the crop tool is slightly different in what you expect in Photoshop but you get the hang of it. I am really pleased with this lens...

Same candid "portrait" but I decided not to use any Adobe products and to see how the workflow ended up. I have been playing around with several Mac OS X "photoshop" type of apps. After using PS4 through CS5 and teaching classes on Elements this has been a learning experience. The setup is the...

Re: How to light a church? adding more textOkay here are two images one in a gym and the other in church. These are before I bought big strobes (AC/DC Flashpoints 620); I am using two umbrellas to spread the light and two Olympus FL50 in "manual power mode" probably ½ power each. Both are on 8...

No its not in PSE but in regular PS. As other said there are other apps out there that will do upsizing. OnOne suite is my goto app and much quicker now at version 9.5. Also even in PSE you can have a choice in opening an image even if it other format (tif,jpeg,etc) in Camera RAW. On a mac...
