so, I would probably get my answer if I read through all 907 posts...but I'll just try asking first. Can I join this late? Do I have to make up 11 photos? Or is it bad dcp etiquette to join so late? It looks so fun!

Of course you can join up. However, there is one rule: at least part of you(leg, arm, hand, back of head, ear, etc...) has to be in the photo. ;P

Welcome and have fun.

OK, not sure if y'all saw this from last night, but I'm actually going to work on portrait technique this week. So, I'm going to need some help.

As for lights, I'm going to cut a hole in a white bucket tonight and put a trashbag in front of it. Maybe that will help. Y'all would feel so sorry for me if you saw what I had for lighting right now. I have 2 table lamps, one light fixture in the dining room and one in the bedroom.

I'm also taking suggestions on how to sharpen my focus. It's a pain with the autofocus on the camera because I'm setting the focus at something that's not there, that's why it's always a bit off. At least I figured that much out today.

Also, Jimmy, if you're out there, I sent you a PM, since you're the master of the DTC-50.

interesting. not sure I really like it though. at least not the light on the face. I do like how it makes the background work.


yeah, you should have seen the light before, on the day4 shot I used an omnibounce to soften it a whole heap. This was just messing aroung in RSE to see what I could do.

More questions on this one for you, Cindi. It took me hours and many tries to post process mine - how did you do it so quickly? Are there tricks to brush size/qualities etc to make the erasing more accurate? How did you handle the parts where you overlap yourself and still get such good, clean edges?

With each sucessive layer after the first one, I erased everything except the new person. Where there were straight edges I used the laso tool to select the areas I wanted to erase, everything else was freehand. I used a huge eraser to get the large areas in a single stroke or two, then changed to a very small brush size to get the detail. In a couple of spots my cut was really obvious so I used a very small blur tool to outline those areas and blend them better with the rest of the picture. The first stacked layer gave me fits until I got into my head precisely what I could erase and what I couldn't, then the rest went quickly.

Funny side note - the reflections on the table change with each person's position and clothing. That really threw me off in a couple of spots. lol
