Is a model release on file for all recognizable people?
N/A, this is my dog
What day was the photo taken?
January 17, 2010
Photo Description
This was taken using my Canon A70 Power Shot mainly because my good DSLR is in the repair shop. Still I think for a mini camera the A70 does a pretty good job. I shot from a mini tripod (actually was sold as a Backpacker's tripod) with a sensitivity setting of ISO50, at 3.2MP, and f8.0 shutter speed at 1/60 for a good flash sync. The camera special effects were set to B&W and I used the timer release to shoot hands off to make sure I didn't accidentally shake it.
Next I dumped it into Paint Shop Pro for a bit of enhancing, which I increased the contrast a bit and darkened the shadows a bit.
Then I resized it and discovered I had a problem shrinking it for some reason until I chose a different resizing method (dynamic weighting instead of pixel resizing) then it seemed to come out a lot cleaner.
Advice
- The best advice on this type of picture I can give is whenever you have to resize a pic, especially if it’s changed by a large amount, most photo handling programs offer several different methods of changing the image size, and it’s worth trying them all to see which produces the best results for each picture.
