Good Photos

Well I have spent the last few days trying to take good solid photographs that show up the embossment and don't have weird bits of extraneous colour randomly scattered over the image.  And I think this morning I have almost succeeded.  I just have to give them all a title now.

It is driving me nuts that they show up on here much darker.  After spending all that time making them right they look all dark on here....they don't look this dark on facebook.
So bear in mind that these do look lighter..........Time to find an alternative to this blog I think.  Ok...I have the titles

'tip & spill'

'cast ashore'

'tidelines'

'forage'



'sea stained'

This last one here is called 'Beached"

These are beautiful. Unfortunately there is nothing like seeing the real object, no matter how good the photos are. I am curious about the found objects - are they objects, are they affixed in some way, are they painted on to the paper ...?

Thank you Olga. The found objects are scanned in and turned into digital prints printed on Japanese paper, some gampi some mulberry with original Epson inks. I can't tell you how frustrating it is looking at them on my monitor so much lighter....

Thanks for the information. The subtlety of the works is delightful, and thought provoking. I feel for your frustration - that's why I embrace random results! The lack of control otherwise would drive me batty.

Sue - I would imagine going to

that opening the image in Photoshop
going to
adjust image (from the drop down menu) and then choosing 'curves' would lighten the image and thereby making them lighter, as they are in the 'real'.

Forgive me if i am telling you how to suck eggs ....................but I'm just trying to give you a helping hand.

love

Thanks Aine....sorry for late reply been away with the fairies
Yes I did a quite a bit of adjusting in photoshop!!! Trouble was making them lighter lost the embossment, so it was very much a case of a fine balance.
