- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos NOT OK to edit
Actually, this was so spontaneous that it ought to go under "snapshot", since all my planning was to see that my daughter's outfit went well with the sofa cover colour and she generally looked nice. Second "planning" was to shift the reading light over to her one side, and then I "snapped" away.
I still want to put the photos up here because now, after I have taken them, these portraits make me wonder:
Is it a good thing that her face is now lighted by two very different lights? The bluish natural light from the window to her right (left when you see the photo) and the yellow tungsten light?
And which version is now stronger? The original, all unchanged and just as it came out of the camera, or the slightly desaturated one with the colour temp "cooled down" a bit?
I shall now put up three different photos, each in its two versions for you to discuss, the original always being the first:
Keep in mind that I am neither a portrait (or other) photographer - just an amateur, nor do I have any equipment. None whatsoever for the purpose.
(And my daughter is my favourite, though usually must unwilling "model" )
