Against the Sun

Against the Sun
Originally uploaded by Photo David

Sorry for all the flying Icebat pictures, I just decided to try these "photoshop" like techniques today, so this is all pretty new to me.

For this picture, I shot Icebat on the counter with the 60mm 2.8, using the 600 speedlight pointed at the ceiling.






The background was just a mildly lit wall in my entry, when I clicked "Enhance" in iPhoto, it turned into the sun. Stoked.


From there, Icebat went into Acorn for some eye manipulation. :)

I cut out Icebat in Gimp, pasted him on the background, rotated him, and added mucho motion blur to his lower half.

From there, Icebat went into Picnik for some softening and whitening of the eyes and teeth. A triple shot of saturation sealed the deal. :)

Thanks for reading,
