The sailboat it will be.
The skier if you have one with him not so close the edge of the frame...no space for him to ski into.
Goodluck.
thanks Robbie,
well i had cropped out the back of the boat and the motor of the boat i was on to get that shot, both were blurry in the picture. i was surprised the pictures came out that good truthfully.
I was planning on try to re-shoot the first picture again after I clean the guitar up some, i didnt realized it was that dirty until afterwards
however you mentioned toning down the whites...how??? Very easy...select it and tone it down...brightness/contrast....do each separately but since you are going to reshoot it you might choose not to wear white.Papabear63 wrote:
