So it's normal for bud to overlap leaf and then have the leaf magically reappear again out of thin air? Who knew? Did you even take the picture?
I'm not talking shit, I'm pointing out the rather obvious (and poorly done). Now, what was done with photoshop? That is another question, but clearly the white balance was adjusted at a minimum.
Why don't you take a picture of the picture in question and show the world how it's obviously not photoshopped instead of pointing to some completely unrelated pictures from a different lineage?
PS: Defensive doesn't look good on you.
No the Mickey Kush shot is not mine. I am referring to your reference to Homebrewer about my photos being "almost as flattering as photoshop". You can spin it how you want but that is def implying that I use photoshop.
Your too funny...."the white balance was used at a minimum".....really? Actually in the two shots I took that HB is referring to I didn't "set" the whitebalance.....it was already preset by my camera because it is a point and shoot and on every setting but one will set itself (which I only figured out 4-5 months ago). And white balance isnt a adjustment you make after the photo is taken. It is done prior to shooting so that all your shots come out right under your light setttings. Do you even know what white balancing does?
Setting a white balance properly makes a world of a difference in your photos. Not to make them look fake, but actually so they look more realistic. It takes the setting of your lights and lets your camera know what white is under those settings. So then it balances the rest of the colors off that, so you dont get funny colors in your pics.
Example- Look at my avatar....that was done with auto WB by my camera before I knew how/what WB was/did. You can see a blue hue to it b/c the auto WB setting is awful and made it look unrealistic. I however did not alter the pic to make it appear that way, that was the autosettings of the camera.
I just am not a fan of somebody spouting off about my pic's being something they are not. I will gladly show you how to do exactly what I do/did and with what equipment I use because my whole set up is done for under $300. I just got hooked on taking pic's from seeing Sub's pic's and am learning the tricks of the trade and how things on cameras work. You can see how when I first started pic's to where I am at now and it is all done with the same equipment. The difference is I have took the time to learn how to get the most out of the equipment I have. I can't keep up with DSLR's but for a P&S I feel like I do ok.
I am sorry for being a dick, but shit like that gets me going b/c I pride myself I taking the best cannabis pic's I can without using programs such as that. If you see me taking a picture what you see is what it is. I do crop and sharpen, and yes I use a ringlight and manually set my white balance(prior to my pic session). I think anyone who takes photography seriously would say all those things are pretty basic in macro/close shots.
Defensive doesn't look good on me.....that is fine b/c I don't care how it looks, I will say whats on my mind. Always have, always will.
If you'd like to further discuss PM me. It doesn't belong in this thread.
