Park Photo Shoot

Blossom101 - Anytime!

Moonb007 - We pretty much let him do his thing while we took pictures. His energy was actually good for the shoot. I think the tough shoots are when the clients really get camera shy...

Thanks for commenting!

One question for ya - how'd you come up with your business name? It's cute! Just wondering if there was a meaning behind it or something, out of pure curiosity.

Dashy is actually my wife's name and since we thought it has a whimsical spin too we incorporated it into the business name. =)

Cool! I've never heard of that name before, but it is neat. I figured there was a meaning behind the name. Thanks for telling!

camz, what is your general plan of attack in PP? Your photos always have killer colors. Care to share any insight?

Those are really very nice shots! Were you using any external lighting?

Nothing special really. Here's a general work flow for this:

ACR: The basics like white balance reference, exposure, fill light, blacks and brightness.

CS4:

Here's the Image exported from ACR:

Here's the edited version in CS4:

On this series I applied soft lighting sometimes I prefer Overlay.

Layer1: Soft lighting (Opacity is @ 100% just for example)
Layer2: Hue +1, Saturation +1
Layer3: Exposure +.31


I then merge the layers then Sharpen Last. I actually saw your post this morning and didn't want to answer before I spoke with my partner. I just gave you the general perspective of it as you understand it's a business. Hope this helps though!

I usually shoot with mostly natural light and reflectors were used for this session.
