Touch Up Tuesday: Dark blog meet-up photo

Hello! I'd LOVE to welcome all of you lovely people to the 7th Touch Up Tuesday at Paper Heart Camera!

.................................

This photo was taken in VERY poor lighting, indoors, and at night. But, sometimes you just have to forget the technical details and just realize the photo is great because of who's in it. This is from our little bloggy get together we had this weekend!

Oh man, I do not like this photo of me... BUT, that doesn't matter. I like all those girls in this photo.

BEFORE:
{Lindsay, Amy, Melissa, Jill, Mandy, and me.}
AFTER:
{Lindsay, Amy, Melissa, Jill, Mandy, and me.}
I lightened up this photo using a Levels layer. Then I played around with Curves to brighten things up a bit more. I flattened everything, cropped the photo... then I started using the clone tool to get rid of the white space above our heads. That might be a little overkill, but it was really distracting to me. :D

Can't wait to see all your edits!


Photography love...

  2. That is a really clever edit!! And I wholeheartedly agree - sometimes you just shouldn't care about technically correct photos because you'll miss a lot of precious moments if you do!
