Playing with effects

You know, I'm really not a baby person. Really. But I have a LOT of recent Charlotte pics and I spent a couple of hours editing them instead of doing homework last night.

Anyway, so this is all about effects I love. I usually love really true, really saturated color in my pictures--that or a very clean, sharp black-and-whites.

Last night, I went a...different direction.




Okay, full disclosure. That one started as an accident. I was trying to color-correct for white in a shadowy shot and it blew out the rest of the picture instead. And for some reason, I loved it.

This next one was on purpose. I wanted sort of an overly dramatic, graphic, superhero shot that was still, you know, baby and fun.



This next one feels a bit vintage and dreamy to me. I kind of want to see what it looks like on canvas.




And finally, we have the mama. I like the sort of lost space of the majority of the shot. It's dreamy in a different way and I think it's fab.



That's me playing! What do you think?

  1. Crap I screwed up my post. ANYway, I just said that I liked them and wondered what I was looking at. And that Charlotte is a good subject to photograph.
    I've always liked babies, which you know, but most of them I encounter now just aren't as interesting compared to my own. Not since I have created the perfect baby.

    Too much? Hey, that's what parents are supposed to think about their kidlings. ;D
