Feather Edge

Just a little footering with the new(ish) masking features in Lightroom.

An old (and dusty) pheasant feather I keep as a blip box item lit from the side with off camera flash.  The background is white art card but as it was under exposed I have brightened it up with a lightroom grad filter, and then masked off the edges of the feather by subtracting from the grad with a colour selection and a brush.  That's not a very good explanation!

I had a look at at PHLearn video yesterday and wanted to practice some of the ideas today.  Also had a look at the RPS Landscape Group AGM which was on-line this morning and included a couple of good presentations from Doug Chinnery (Abstraction in Landscapes) and Mark Banks (Projects in Landscape)

Thanks to everyone who has called by my journal recently.
