Re: Wud's project 365
great shot. did a quick run in LR to see if there was anything. I just rotated it slightly left, tweaked the contrast down a bit, and adjusted the colors. The main thing was to use the selective brush and lighten just the eyes. Hope you don't mind me tinkering.

Re: Wud's project 365
Dont mind at all but I think you over-done it a bit (I know its difficult editing a small websized image). I want it to be softish, and the eyes to look natural. I've given it a little more light around the eyes, but its difficult, as I don't wanna loose the shadow/highlight effect..

Think you are right. And ended up with something alike that one. Well that sucked! Realizing the missing editing skills!
Oh well, lots of other good shots from that session.

Re: Wud's project 365
lol..
My setup:
since I'm broke, I bought a paper tablecloth in green, which I used for background, holding it with needles and tape. Like a pro
I started with the ice light on a stand but it was to high (couldn't get lower) to hit the dogs eyes (dude, it's hard getting light on those dark eyes when the fur is white). So ended up with the ice light in left hand - along with a sausage - and camera in right hand. With a D3 you don't wanna do that too long.... or is it just me?
In pp I couldn't get the green color I thought I would, either the background was to dark or the paper tablecloth just aren't meant to be used for backdrop lol. So in Lightroom I played around with the colors in the highlight/shadow section.
After that, in Photoshop, some brush with same + darker color as the background, to fade out the paper and also paint over a part in the right side, which showed the wall.
Instead of making a vignette effect, I painted a layer it all dark and used eraser to delete most of it + Gaussian blur to fade out that layer.
lol..

Re: Wud's project 365
Think I am getting addicted. To printing. And cutting in the right sizes. I tried to get my husband to order prints yesterday (from random shoots lol), he wouldn't. I made some cards for a client on the photo paper, it was so much fun!
A client can't choose between 52 images, so she is asking for the price for them all digital. I think I gave her a way to low price ($150, for all images printed in size 4x6 inch), but its just so much more satisfying printing yourself, than sending jpgs over email.
