Thanks. All of the comments were useful! Oddly enough, the eyes in the photo you mentioned werent edited color-wise. Especially the second person in left, I didn’t touch eyes. Shockingly enough, it is unusual but that how her eyes truly were. I did brighten the whites of the eyes, and did a general contrast boost as well as removing an…offensive photobomber which I think was removed well, but that’s just me because I don’t usually do those things. I was using a flash, but it was more difficult than I thought it wwould be because of the varying distances. Auto wasnt working for me there, and I’m sure there is a better way to do it, but I don’t have the experience to do that. I agree with the starting dialogues with other people. Unfortunately, the majority of people around here are of the ‘secret curtain’ type, and the professionals don’t seem that open.
The soccer was a bit if a fluke, and I agree with you. Our school has nothing for photo equipment besides a rebel and a 18-55 kit lens, because the photo department is poor and without help. Instead, I’m left using all my own equipment. The referees at the soccer game gave me a designated spot I could sit, which was upsetting but also not convenient for photos. now that I think about it, the final photos were cropped in the end, but the soccer photos that are there were at a surprising 400mm anyway, even though it doesn’t look like it. That’s not to defend the pictures, but instead to just explain because I know it doesn’t look like a 400mm lens. Thanks for the comments about the munchkin too. The actress who played the part of the witch did that once in the dress rehearsal, and it was a quick snap and grab. I was lucky I got focus (I know, no excuse but it is what It is. :p)
you didn’t talk too long at all, and I appreciate the thoughts. 🙂
