Pretty Time

[cabledawg08]

Hey everyone, things have been crazy here but tonight was my night off so I played around with some of my settings and kinda came up with this. For whatever reason, a friend back home sent me a little baggy of make up. LOL Very sweet of her, but really. Make up in the desert? So I put it to good use. :)

I used two lights, one bedstand lamp and ... haha :o... my laptop screen, my bedsheets and a white sheet of paper over the lamp so as the light wasn't so harsh. I would have used something to reflect a bit of the shadow, but I couldn't find anything in my sad little hooch.

Other then the fact I know my sheet are wrinkled...And I am very limited to what I can find out here. Anything I could do to really make it POP a bit more?

White balance looks a little warm, but it's difficult with mixed sources like that. Some very slight unsharp masking, and I think you need more separation between the blue sheets and red/red-ish lipstick, what kind of software do you have?

Also, what is the de-noising setting on your camera? It looks a little heavy.

I don't have any software and I'm still learning how to use my camera...How would I change the noise? I'm still a newbie with all of this.

I like it. I thought you were very creative to come up with the idea. I don't have any sugesstions because I am learning too. Nice shot though! C-ya.

It should be somewhere in the settings, try reading the manual. Sorry I can't help more, but every camera is different.

No, you were very helpful. I just had my camera box packed up with my household goods before I deployed...Forgot to put it to the side when the movers came.

But as far as the separation goes, what do you mean? My blue needs to be BLUE and my red needs to be RED? Not quite sure what you mean by that.
