When Will I Wear These Again??

Jan word sunglasses.

My girls despair of my face furniture, and when I purchased turquoise specs and these purple prescription sunglasses they were not impressed.

Still can't get the white to be white beginning to give up hope!

Whenever you want!!!

Hi Jackie,
Tx for my assignment! Your pix look amazing and it was tough thinking up a theme you hadn't already covered! So hope this is not a stretch! Here goes: "odd couple". Cheers!

[JackieR]

@saskiah OK!!!! I like it! No idea what I'll do, but thrilled to give it ago. Will tag you in comments when I post!!

[JackieR]

@padlock not today as sooooooooo grey!

[Catherine]

I wouldn't mind these!! Really like your composition with the negative space. I don't know how to get pure white either - hoping someone will tell you and I can learn!

[John&Ann]

Are you using flash Jackie? Otherwise try using a "daylight reading light". Nice composition though.

[JackieR]

@megpicatilly I hope to crack it by December!! Only ever managed white in sunlight and then post processed!!
@jmdspeedy What's a daylight reading light? No didn't use flash as it was reflecting off lens and white card.

Nice capture . I like purple sunglasses.

set your exposure to half a second. see what comes out. or a full second. but you need to use a tripod or set your camera on a firm surface. but you might still need to tweak it post. can you try? also you can adjust your D-lighting after the shot. in nikon we have a "retouch" feature that you can tweak the light, crop, etc. does your camera has that feature?

I love those sunnies

[JackieR]

@kjarn thank you!
@summerfield Vikki, wish I'd read this before I played this morning, but managed to work all this out today for myself by experimenting with aperture and exposure time using tripod and remote shutter release. Only retouching on today's is to remove all the spots of grit and dust and c**p on the sensor. Yesssssssssssssssss!!!
Thanks for your advice my 365 friend!!
@megpicatilly try out what Vikki advises.

Oh I don't know, they probably look pretty trendy on you!

I think, re the white it's because the camera trys to turn all colours to 18% grey, so if you slightly overexpose the image (no auto iso setting to do this) that should solve it for you x

[Sarah Munnings]

@pixiemac Same happens to snow, unless you overexpose!

[JackieR]

@pixiemac thank you, uploaded a better one today

[Sarah Munnings]

@30pics4jackiesdiamond Yes, saw that, you got the background far whiter :)

[Masquerade]

Great composition.
(You could easily whiten/lighten it in Lightroom while leaving the glasses colour untouched.)

[JackieR]

@maskerade thanks but I don't have that and did best I could, as a novice, onRibbet

[Clare Gadsby]

well i really like this whatever your girls think! great use of negative space :)

[JackieR]

@pistache thank you
