Bokeh Portrait. :)

Most recent shot I have of my boyfriend, just outside in the back yard.

I love it, very nicely done. If you don't mind me asking what is your EXIF on a shot like this?

[klr]

Why thank you!

I really brought this one back from the dead haha. This is the before straight-out-of-camera :



So that's probably why I skimmed over it in the first place.

Exif =

ISO 400
50mm
F/2.8
1/100sec

Shot at 'golden hour'.

I too thought it was a good shot, now even more so, seeing how you rescued it!

[klr]

The power of shooting in raw! Amazes me every time. <3

[dmann]

Thats awesome! I always shoot raw but I never seemed to get as drastic results as everyone else....

I shoot in RAW as well, but I doubt I could have done this well..

What are you guys using to edit your shots?

I use Lightroom for all my basic editing, and then take everything into photoshop to sort of fine-tune everything else like sharpening and stuff.

Maybe I need to get lightroom to make my life easier, I'm using CS5 mainly..sometime GIMP but not often..

[klr]

I've never used GIMP before..

But you should totally download the free trial version of lightroom. It's just like camera raw in photoshop if you're ever used that. It's really a mixture of camera raw / photoshop / bridge in it's own right.

I totally recommend it. Look up some videos and test it out.

Also, the recovery tool alone in lightroom is worth downloading it. So helpful.



Good luck !
