Tracking Auto Focus

Still tinkering with the settings of the Sony A6000 and today I wanted to learn more about the focus settings. Since I love taking pictures of my 2 dogs, I needed to learn the auto focus settings for moving object....

I set it to Continuos Focusing Mode which is AF-C  with the focus area being wide. I was still having a bit of a problem getting it to focus specifically on my dog's eyes....

This one focused more on Riley's nose...still cute if you ask me...of course I am a bit biased...


What I actually had to do was to turn off the face recognition feature and turn on Center Lock-On Auto Focus....

There I was able to choose a specific point to focus on....this is better.... You can see that it is focused on the eyes and not the nose like the last picture




Not too big of a difference I guess but, for me, it is important to be able to focus on the eyes....for more impact...

Here are the rest photos I took after I got the settings down...also added +3 in exposure compensation for more light...

I call this photo session...

Retouching Work

I've been kind away from this blog and actually photography in general. A lot of things have been going on but I've decided to start it all back again.

Original - And here is the after - I also wanted to take that branch out on the left hand side because it was quite distracting. So here it is without the branch. I also added a color enhancement on it to make the colors pop a bit more. Here is the second edit I worked on today. Original - I adjusted tones and contrast a bit. Then worked on the skin. Here is the result for that. I wanted to soften the lines under the eyes a little without completing removing it which would make it look too unnatural. Finally, i wanted his eyes to really pop. So here is the final image with an eye enhanceme...

Planning Stage for our Conceptual High Fashion Shoot

So last weekend we had a collab with a group of photographers and we used some of my gowns from my wardrobe collection for the shoot. I also adorned some of the models with the fused glass jewelry that I created previously. I had so much fun that I decided my 3rd FASHION FLIRTY OPEN SHOOT EVENT will be one indoors. This kicked off my planning stage. I wanted this shoot to be a fully thought out, conceptual shoot with full on accessories, jewelry and wardrobe.... I met with one of my makeup artists to talk about a few ideas and today i have created a fb group that would serve as the "meeting ground" for the concept shoot team that is on private...and ill only add those participating in the event.
