ooops, I just realised that I lied in my previous post! I did a litle more manipulation to some of the shots than I said - ie. cloned out the dust spots from my grubby sensor, and also vignetted a couple of them. Oh, and also, the shots of the fence have been manipulated further again - I had to clone out the bird poo that was all over it! hehe.
Oh, and yes, before anyone asks, I most certainly *do* have a pink and purple fence - I mean what other colour fence do you think *I* would have?!? ;-) tan. -----Original Message----- From: Tanya Mayer Photography [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, 23 July 2004 9:17 AM To: Net [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Tan's foray into stock photography.... or whatever you may wish to call it.... Anyways, at the risk of being in lots of trouble from the COF's for my prattling this morning, I thought I'd better show that I actually do take the odd photo now and again too... and, whoa, i even used pentax equipment! woohoo! I have been studiously watching the stock photography sites for sometime now, and noticed that most images are posted in groups pertaining to a certain theme and/or variations on it. I wanted to do some funky looking stuff, so that they aren't just "boring, old, flower pics", hence the colour shifts etc. So, here's the link to the gallery: http://www.tanyamayer.com/stock22july04/ And this one is my undisputed favourite from the day, and has no manipulation at all, this is straight from the camera: http://www.tanyamayer.com/stock22july04/22.htm So, when I was shooting my beloved lavender yesterday, I thought I'd have a play with some different techniques. Most of these have been manipulated using levels/colour balance in the Pentax RAW converter, however all are the original crops/compositions etc. God only knows what anyone would ever want to buy/use them for, but I guess it can't hurt to try! All shot with *istD, and Tokina 28-70/2.8 atx pro, tamron AF 2x teleconverter, AF-500ftz, and Lumiquest Promax Softbox. Oh, except for the ones that are obviously wide, which were shot using the FAJ 18-35. All hand-held, various exposures due to changes in depth of field etc, and varied from 1/30th (for the blurred ones, and those with movement in them. btw, if they have movement/blur in them, it *was* intentional, lol!) to around 1/150th, and between f3.5-f11. And while we're on the subject, any ideas which would be the best agency that I should approach? thanks! tan.
