Zephyr Dancers I

Every time I take pictures I have a great time. However, add six Belly Dancers and you go from having a great time to having a blast. The girls were great to work with and they had a fun time as well. They plan on using the pictures to help promote their dance troupe. This picture is my favorite from the bunch so far. I had to Photoshop in the black background. The lighting is a little flat because she was dancing and moving around and was not where I had the lighting setup for. I won't share how much time I spent in Photoshop on this but lets just say it took some time.

This one I've titled Orange Crush.



I will share one more. This dancer wanted to go for the more serious look. I wasn't sure how it was going to come out but, I think she pulled it off well.



I will post pictures of the other three in my next post.

The class assignment was to create a chalk board with photoshop. You were not required to come up with this on your own. You were free to use Internet resources. So with a little help from Google I found a tutorial to do just that. It took me about an hour but I was very happy with the result. Following the tutorial not only reinforced what I had already learned in class but introduced me to some new tools and techniques. The more I learn about Photoshop the more amazed I become at the power of what this software can do. Check out the link below to see how it was done.
