Around-the-house Photos

These photos were taken at my Mom and Dad’s house.

I think this is a good photo of Mom.

I didn’t quite nail the focus on this shot of Marilyn. But at this resolution, it’s not too bad.

I had to counter a severe yellow cast on this one. My assumption was that the refrigerator door is white, but after working on some other photos, I’m not sure that’s true. (I forgot to look when I was there.)

The camera used ISO 3200 for this one. It turned out surprisingly good for such a high ISO. I had a hard time color correcting the foliage visible through the windows.

This one is grainy, but that comes from using ISO 12800.20150620-_DSC8733-Edit-medium

Anna helped out with the food preparation too.

I had to counter a green cast on Anna’s face and hair facing the window to the outside. There were other areas of green too. I made a mask based on a curved a channel (in Lab space) to get rid of the green in those areas. I probably should have left the celery in that mask because I think that a is too negative – the celery looks too green to me.20150621-_DSC8094-Edit-medium

I used my tripod to take this photo of myself. I prefocused on the post on which my right elbow is resting.

Pedal Cruiser Photos

 

Most of us rode the Pedal Cruiser on Sunday Afternoon. I found it to be a very good workout. The driver’s name is Bryce. He helped us out from time to time by activating the motor.

Bryce took this photo of us. The first one that he took was out of focus. I saw him pause before taking the second one, so evidently he figured out the focus point that I was using.

I took the background for the photo below during the pedal cruiser ride. The photo of Anna, however, was taken in Mom and Dad’s backyard.  In that picture, I really liked the way that Anna turned out in that photo, but the background was blown out. I used Topaz ReMask to extract Anna from that photo so that I could insert her into this one. I did some retouching of Anna’s face using frequency separation techniques. I couldn’t figure out what to do about the reflection in Anna’s glasses, so I left that part alone.

Marie on the Buettner Family Step

This is near the top of the steps leading up to the Ski Jump in Iron Mountain, Michigan. I am told that several years ago the steps were in an extreme state of disrepair.  They were refurbished with money from step sponsors.
