Get-Pushed 467
My partner this week said "How about doing a photo with a refractions while using a couple of glasses." I found this to be challenging for several reasons. I really had to research how to do these photos. I didn't have the lighting quite right. It didn't work the way two of the videos suggested. I didn't have good backgrounds for this challenge so had to go buy some paper (yeah Dollar Store). I also didn't have the best glasses, jugs, bottles, and bought a couple extra at the dollar store while I was there. The pattern on these glasses perhaps interfered with the refraction a bit. But I really like the way the stripes looked through the glasses.
@jacqbb Thank you for the challenge. It was indeed a challenge for me, as mentioned in the photo comment above. I enjoyed learning a new technique and will be on the look out for other props.
i have never been successful with this kind of photos. i certainly would like to know the proper way to do it or process it. this looks fabulous to me. aces!
@summerfield I'm afraid I worked on both of them in photoshop. I listened to the recommendations on the videos and they didn't work well for me. I had to brighten them, bring out the blacks and contrast a bit and use the dehaze and clarity sliders a bit. I also had to fix all the spots caused by the dirty lens. @kwind Thank you Kim. I liked the way the lines became so wavy. @grammyn Thank you Katy. It didn't come out how I expected. I guess that's the fun of refractions.
