I wish I could bring back memories in such clarity that the moment relived is even sharper and more dramatic than actually being there—the way you do. My camera eludes me; blurry subjects taunt me; moments at my hand are forever lost. I’m so discouraged I’m about to sell my camera after years of trying. What do you suggest? Are you having another class? Would that even help if I don’t know how to use my camera—it’s so complicated and I must be a nutless nut!?!

Rachael GapinskiFebruary 22, 2010 - 11:17 pm

Thanks for chiming in Megan, I was simply demonstrating how you could adjust certain colors by playing with the sliders, that’s not how I would actually edit it :P

MeganOctober 1, 2010 - 4:09 pm

Uh but you made the red on the bike really bizarre and the girl’s shirt had some weirdness too.

Whatevs.

JenikaSeptember 20, 2010 - 7:41 pm

Very straightforward tutorial! I appreciate it!

By the way, any off-camera lighting tutorials would be great in the future. There are many online but you have a gift for explaining things clearly. :-) Just a thought.

SueFebruary 13, 2010 - 7:46 pm

What lense do you use most often for Portrait’s? Thanks.

KristinNovember 20, 2009 - 8:00 pm

Dennis BullockNovember 10, 2009 - 3:39 pm

tracyNovember 9, 2009 - 7:11 am
