Portrait of Jean
Yesterday I've been out swimming with my #steemit-austria friends at the Badesee Hirschstetten in Vienna at the Steem Summer Party Wien. Here is Jean who organized the meet.
I like to shoot people when they are not aware, not posing. I thought the lighting in late afternoon was challenging, since he was in the shadow, but contrasted by the still bright sky in the background.
I worked on this in photoshop, but decided to post here the original frame straight from the camera.
zoomshot with a Nicon Coolpix S3600 pocket camera, cropped.
This is the previous frame with less zoom:
And here is the group:
It looks a fun day out. I like your Jean photo, he would make an amazing model for a Renaissance Prince.
I wonder if @jnmarteau seen your comment, lol
Yes, we had fun, I got more photos, but they were not that good. Jean took some also, but I did not see any post from him yet about Friday.
Hi @thermoplastic, indeed I have been pretty busy last days with organizing the @globalschool, that is why I did not publish a post report about the event yet. I'll do as soon as I can free space on my computer to post the pictures. ;-)
@donnadavisart I'd love to do such things! =)
Thats a wonderful suprize than to find the portait you made during our little gathering of yesterday! Thanks for this nice homage and for joining yesterday, I was really happy to see you again and now to discover your photoshop skills. =D
yeah, it takes some skills to make something with a photo that came out of a € 75.- pocket camera, lol - but this shot in the post was as it came out of the camera, which surprised me.
I played with it afterwards, and the one I put in the comments is more like a painting, using a color filter, bringing the center of the face back with the history brush, and then working with "enhanced edges" in filters.
the result is really nice and definitely shows me as I am! Biting myself all the time thinking nobody will see me... hihihi =D
you should join @globalschool in September when we have the graphic design students we might have fun playing with photoshop and illustrator! ;-)
Warst Du auch schwimmen? :-D
Yes he did and me too as well as I am usually never going to the water =D
Next time I come also :-)))
Natürlich! Ich schwimme ungefähr so gut wie eine bleierne Ente!
;-))))
Dear Artzonian, thanks for using the #ArtzOne hashtag. Your work is valuable to the @ArtzOne community. Quote of the week: Art, freedom and creativity will change society faster than politics. -Victor Pinchuk
Thank you very much!
@jnmarteau - Just for those who might be curious what I come up with when I noodle around in Photoshop:
- ZOOM THIS IMAGE
Nice work! I'll alo check out bescouted, looks new to me! =)
Bescouted: its when you just want to put up a photo - with your posting key, it cross-posts to Steemit, where I usually edit the post to add some more stuff.
The site is mostly for photographers, models etc. The advantage of putting up photos there is that on your page, all you see is your own stuff - no resteemed content etc.
I am definitely interested by the photographers/models part of Bescouted for myself but also because of coding the dapp (platform) for the @com-lab and @globalschool and I am curious to know what can make our app usefull for the community, so you just gave me an idea by having tabs, in the first we will have all the posts and resteems, and in the other only our post, then eventually a third with post we saved by categories =)
