... come in all shapes, colours and ages - here 89. This wonderful lady is my latest one. Her name is Ruth, she is my parents' neighbour. I've known her for a few years and since my dad's birthday last week, we are on a du-base, we are friends.
PS: The post-processing I did here was adjusting the contrast, smoothing out the wrinkles a little and sharpening for the net.
The representative for Spain is this young Flamenco dancer:
PS: The post processing I did here was increasing contrast, cloning out some of the background and sharpening for the net.
With the sun, the warmth and the beautiful women, it just felt a little more Brazilian. There were so many pretty girls and women from all over the world in this parade! And here's a question: Why do women have no problem pointing out that another girl is pretty while you would never hear a (straight) guy say: 'Wow, look at him, he's handsome!'?
PS: The post processing I did was blurring the background (stupid photographers in the way everywhere ;-) ), increasing contrast a little and sharpening.
This is another picture of "Laddoo Formerly Known As Sina", this time outside. I managed to get a few relatively good pictures but as opposed to for example my parents' dog, this one is never looking directly into the camera. But she is so cute and so furry.
Speaking of furry - yesterday, I saw a man with a small very short-haired dog and I was wondering why people get those. I mean, why get a dog in the first place when you can't cuddle it and tousle its fur? What's the point then? Might as well get a snake...
PS: I did some post-processing on this one like blurring the background to bring out the main motive better and cloning out the leash. Plus the usual sharpening for the net and adding a little more contrast.
I can't draw, I can't paint,Only thing about me is the way I shoot ;-)So to make up for this deficiency, I'm using my PP skills, adding a slight painting effect. The original picture of this narcissus with the interesting colours (those are real) is slightly out of focus but I found it too nice to just discard.
... you have to look at the world through rose-coloured glasses ;-)
Today, I'm going to show an example of post processing, not the greatest thing I ever did (or actually it might be because I "fixed" quite a few things on the original photo).
Anyway, my friend C. came back from a trip today and I printed this version of her photo (in b/w) on red cardboard, added the caption "WANTED" and held it up when picking her up at the airport :D
