I have seen lots of bloggers lately making their own backdrops and taking awesome pictures. A lot of people are using plexiglass on the bottom but I didn't have any so I went without. I'm not sure what fabric people are using either...a lot of other black backgrounds look crisper and blacker (if that makes sense). I just used felt this time around. I'm having a little trouble smoothing out lines...haven't quite figured that out yet. I'll have to ask around and get a few tips on how to make them look a little better. I know it's a little earlier but I took a few Valentine's Day inspired pictures. I found these ducks at the grocery store and figured they might be fun.
I cut his head off a little in this one, ugh!
I tried to be a little more creative with this picture. I'm not sure if this would be considered a success or a fail. ;)

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. :)
Those are awesome!! He is so cute and smiley. He looks like a happy little guy.
ReplyDeleteI used fleece for my background, but the way to make the black blacker is to increase the contrast or "blacks" in Adobe Lightroom or Photoshop. You can download a free trial on Adobe.com. I love Lightroom, because I think it is quicker to turn a good photo into a great photo. I think you did a phenomenal job though, especially since you didn't do any editing. :)
Looks great! The burn tool will make it blacker. I use the clone tool to get rid of wrinkles/seams.
ReplyDeletei tried both of those things (contract and burning) and they look 10x better. thanks ladies!
