Geometry Homework: Circle's Sector

Yes I used a transparency, thanks for the support.

I remember a discussion about double exposures using raw and since that apparently is allowed I thought the same for this. As I said I expose for the background and then for the transparency to make the lines really black. All of this was made in RAW. What the SC told me was that since I used masking it was illegal. Maybe the two exposures are only for the advance challenges. I still don't know for sure.

Anyway I thought it was a good idea, I learned from it alot cause it wasn't easy to put together. I will try another challenge soon.

I miss sitting for hours to watch a game. Nice family moment ;)

Yes, your son looks a bit too green. Do you use Photoshop? there is an easy way to check/correct the color balance on your pics using curves.

What I do is to put the cursor on a "neutral spot" like the white on your shirt or your son's and check the info of the pic where you see the Red, blue and green channel values. If you think it's a "neutral spot" then the three channels should have the same value or roughly the same (i.e. totally white should have values of 255 for all the channes, totally black has 0 for all the channels). This helps you to see if one of the channels is way off, if it is, then go to curves go to that channel and look for the spot of the curve where your "neutral spot" is, move it up or down until you get the final value closer to the other channels. Flatten the image and pp as usual, you will notice a big difference. Sounds complicated but its really easy. Let me know if this helps or you need something more visual maybe I can get the tutorial or put one together for ya.

As an example look at my yesterday pic: this is how it looks originaly

If you go to the sign that says home team you will see that even if it looks white the red is way down, I adjusted it and it seems you liked the reds in this one ;)

Good luck
