JACK LARSON PHOTOGRAPHY
Kids playing during the holidays. I cropped it slightly and added a stroke (which you probably can't see), but did no other editing (didn't want to mess with the effect of the fog). Happy Silly Tuesday.
@MARIANA: Thanks, Mariana. I don't completely know why, but this is one of my very favorite of my photographs.
@MARIANA: Other foggy shots will follow in the next few days, but they almost seem pedestrian. Without the comparison with this one, they would seem better.
@Momo: Thanks, Morris. I might convert for a B&W exhibit that I have coming up in March.
@xavier cardell: It converts very nicely to B&W.
@Amy: Thank you. I am so pleased that it creates a positive feeling for you.
@Self-Indulgence: Absolutely. The girl was all over the field!!
@Japanalia: They were having a blast!!
@jim: In Photoshop, you can put a stroke around anything. I use it to add a solid border (you can determine the number of pixels wide it is) around the photograph. Sometimes I put a black stroke and sometimes I put a white stroke. With my background, it is easy to see white strokes, but unless they are wide, it is difficult to see black strokes. The way I use it, it's like a narrow frame.
@Susan: Thanks. On stroke, read my response to Jim.
@Susan: First of all, I flatten everything. Then I do Command J to duplicate the background layer. At the bottom of your Layer Palette, click on "fx" which is "Add a Layer Style". At the bottom of the menu, click on Stroke. Inside of the Stroke dialog box, change Position to "Inside." If you don't want Black as the color of your stroke, click on Color and make a color selection. Move the Size slider to the right until you get the size stroke that you want. You're done.
@Achu: Thank you.
@Zsákai Péter: Thank you. This is one of my favorite photographs.
@Basile Pesso: Thank you. You certainly went back a ways.
