alright here is a peak behind my lens. The picture of Kenzie that i got yesterday wasn't exactly one that I had time to focus on and compose correctly since Xander was about to walk into our neighbors yard and Kenzie only looks at me for about .126937309 seconds. I snapped the photo right as she looked at me and it captured her eyes in their gorgeousness well enough, but it just wasn't quite what i wanted. So here is a before and after edits.
I cropped to the rule of thirds to focus on her eyes. Then I upped the exposure a little. I tinted the grass behind her with some slight orange and brightened it up so it sorta faded into the background. After that I exposed the entire photo slightly more and brought up Kenzie's skin tone so that her skin wasn't washed out. Then I tinted everything with a light red to give it the ethereal feel. Once that was done i fixed the focus onto her face and blurred everything else ever so slightly. So hopefully the pic doesn't look over editted, but there is definitely some work behind the scenes. I normally try to do more of this before I even take the photo but with these two movers and scooters, who has time!?
