But I wanted to give retouching a try, so here we are. My first real retouch. A lot to improve, especially the hair is still hard for me. But for toying around less than two hours in Gimp, it's not bad. <br /> <br />In full view you can see the changes better ;) . <br /> <br />Model stock: Portrait by DeadSoldier-stock@deviantArt Mon, 17 May 2010 23:47 +0200 http://foeo.net/blog/index.php?showimage=6 http://foeo.net/blog/p/5 <img src="http://foeo.net/blog/thumbnails/thumb_20100511185250_photo_sieben-schwerter_01_i900.jpg"><br/> "Fechtstand ist überragend." - "(A sword) fencing stance is towering (everything)." (Meaning that there's no better way to have a stable and strong stand.) <br /> <br />That't what my trainer said yesterday, when he noticed I was lowering myself to take photos. I never noticed before, but ever since I started sword fencing, I lower myself differently to get into the right level to shoot. Before I was just "doing down", now I'm "ready to fight". <br /> <br />Here you can see Kurt in a swort fighting stance while being in the Alber ward. <br />I actually wanted to take some pictures for the fencing school, but there were not enough people there to make a good shooting, so I'll file it under test shootings (where I learned what I need to prepare next time). To be continued!

But the message is simple: Come on, spring, we're waiting! <br /> <br />(Okay, I enhanced the colors a bit too much. But with this grey weather, you just want colors!)

This pose isn't what I was aiming for (title of the set was "Dance To The Beat Of Your Heart"), but works wonderful for this challange. (Of course I got some other images that are how I want them.)

(But it's an easy fight ;) .) Tue, 04 May 2010 19:42 +0200 http://foeo.net/blog/index.php?showimage=2
