THIS SHOT IS JUST TO SHOW WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE BEFORE I CONVERTED IT TO BLACK AND WHITE FOR THE LOW KEY THEME. WILL UPLOAD A MUCH BETTER COLOR EXPOSURE TO MY MAIN ALBUM LATER.
It really pays to bracket your exposures!!! My camera does NOT always give me the best exposure with ONE shot! The better exposure could be ONE stop over or under what the camera thinks is right!
Why is this photo a little dark? I was Not shooting this for color use and I did NOT want a perfect color exposure. I shot it for the sole purpose of converting it to black and white for the low-key theme. Black and white version is here... http://365project.org/marlboromaam/challenges-and/2012-05-25
Have emailed On One Software asking what is up with stripping the exif info when using Perfect Photo Suite 6.1 and how do I get it to save all the exif info when I resave the PSD file as a JPEG in Photoshop.
@lindag LOL! No, who's going to hire me to do this at my age? It's a hobby I can improve on. I will upload a much better color shot with a better exposure to my main album a little later. Thank you, Linda!
@yonnie This is Not a good exposure for a color shot, Yvonne. I will upload a better exposure of a color version in my main album later. Thank you for the comments.
@traciwood Will upload a much better exposure of a color version to my main album later, Traci. This was just to show what it looked like before I converted it to black and white for the theme. Thank you for your comments!
@marlboromaam --- What's age got to do with it??? :-))) Got to do with it??? Ok now we're going to hear Tina Turner for the rest of the afternoon. Have fun!
This is beautiful! I love the composition and lighting. I agree what you said about bracketing. I don't always bracket my shots but a lot of them I do. I will have a look at the B&W version now:)
I am not an expert in photography but this sure looks wonderful to me. I wish I could be of more help but I don't understand photo technology that much....just enjoy viewing photos & think I'm a good critic otherwise. This one is the best in my opinion and a fav.

@lindag ::sigh:: I'm over 55. No one seems to want to hire anyone over 55 around here. LOL! Yes, Tina Turner! Love that song!
