I got this idea from another blog and thought you'd be interested in seeing a smidgen of the computer work that goes into an image. Learning how to shoot technically is one giant monster to battle. I can't say I'm a technical expert, but I hold my own according to the way I like to shoot. The other beast is photoshop. Post processing is a tricky thing. It requires a discerning eye and restraint. It's so easy to go overboard. This shot in particular is a little more dramatic than most shots I take, but it was purposeful. I wanted it to appear dreamy. So in keeping with the look I was going for I decided to backlight the shot and I post-processed this shot a bit heavier than what I normally do.
A little technical info for any camera techies:
Shot with a Canon 5d mk II using a Canon 24-70 mm f2.8 L series lens
Shutter speed 1/320
Aperture 2.8
ISO 800
Dreamy? Yes! Misson Accomplished!!
ЎHola!
Esto no en absoluto lo que me es necesario. Hay otras variantes?

beautiful example Viv! Backlighting is something I rarely ever do because for me it is so hard to meter correctly! Then you have to be able to process like this or it looks too dark. You are amazing...rub off on me a bit more would you :)
