Life Without my DSLR, Part 3 - Central Park with Hala

As some of you know, portraiture is not my strength. Because I have a family who likes pictures, though, I'm giving this my best effort. What complicates the situation is not having my DSLR with me.

However, I think I'm progressing. I took my sister to Central Park, and decided to experiment over there. Her clothes definitely helped - blue coat - to serve as a contrast. Some examples of my favorites:





Very minor surgery was required:

First picture - minor exposure change - it was a bit bright

Second picture - cropping to focus on my sister, as opposed to the background

Third picture - horizon tool, because it was a little "slanty"

My sister was a terrific subject. I'd asked her to give me a little variety so that not every picture was "straight on", and she definitely delivered. Cliche or not, she looks great! She definitely brightened up a dreary day.

Till next week! Happy holidays!
