But I think that we have all these wonderful programs and it time is not an issue it's fun to play with. Why not strive for the best image we can!

I usually do minimal editing,some exposure and maybe cropping.In this set of pictures the first two are my favourites.Bottom line is that these are your pictures and if you like it that's all that matters. That is how I look at my shots as well.Ruth Hieberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11260132564992492524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7741611759961206426.post-62208864161597432852015-11-04T12:12:01.685-07:002015-11-04T12:12:01.685-07:00I do play with my images.

Bokeh only really works for me if it is produced by the aperture blades in the lens. I do like textures but rarely use them. I used to use Topaz and had lots of fun but I came to the conclusion that just because you can doesn't necessarily mean you should.<br />I am just getting back to using medium format film and may go larger if I drop on an Ebony camera for silly money. I did borrow a dark room a couple of weeks ago and made a Bromoil print from a digital negative. It was not a success as I was trying to run before I walked....Looked as if I had dropped the paper in a muddy puddle but I was thrilled to bits to see a muddy image appear whilst I was washing the paper. Never had as much fun for ages and that is what it's about.<br />Your image I would leave alone but would consider cropping and rotating. Maybe desaturate the background a bit in channels.<br />Next week I am going to try using his enlarger and VC paper for some split grade printing. Again it will be a mix of analogue and digital as I will print a digital border on projector film to act as a mask.<br />It's all about enjoying the hobby.ADRIANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07113961163396562781noreply@blogger.com
