Salvaged Image

Sometimes we are confronted with a toddler or perhaps an animal that just won't take any directions from the friendly photographer.. So it’s touch and go… you take a few frames any more the six or eight and you’re on borrowed time.

The light is Correct, the time seems correct, the place seems correct.
You move your head left, you move your head right, you even crawl around on your knees but, when you inspect your photographs later, you know in your heart, that’s not really what I intended to capture..

Now originally I only got 1x good image from 6x that I had taken.. I chose the 1x good image and cropped it back and was left felling “Oh well better luck next time” ..

After revisiting the folder with the other 5x not so good examples, I decided Hey hang a minute.. With a little bit of post editing and maybe a little bit of cropping here or there most of them images could be made more interesting..

Just viewing them in Black and white instead of colour also made a washed out forehead have more impact.

This particular Blip image had a Nice shaft of sunlight sweeping diagonally across Isabella’s forehead and some low power fill-in flash.. Arhhh But heck the captured image looked less then desirable to me...

... Added in a little shadow, cropped it back a tad.. WOW.. Now were cooking on gas and looking 100% better... Wolla !

SO.. Don’t right off your images without a SECOND GLANCE:
They could indeed be salvaged with just a little bit of photographic imagination..

This Image was taken (29 ‎October ‎2013). (Edited today.) Enjoy..
