3MS

In the first week of school two close friends from home came to visit me here at Clark to see how I was doing and where I live. We took a walk on which I took some pictures I liked and then came back to my room and were hanging out. I have always wanted to try taking a picture of something drawn with a flashlight in the dark and we decided to give it a go. I worked on this photo a bit in photoshop today trying to sharpen it and bring out some detail while still keeping the letters the main focus... I am not sure if I did something wrong while saving or if I just lightened too much because it looked different when I saved it (darker in the background and not so washed out in the skin) so i'll fiddle with it some more in the next day or so and repost it in this entry. Dan (I assumed he was a TA) helped me out with the multiple questions I had which was great!
To be honest, I am feeling a little bit frustrated with photoshop at the moment because there is so much to remember how to do and steps to take and I am not sure yet what exactly I am aiming for when I edit my photos. I am sure it will come more naturally after I have worked with the program a bit more.
Have a great weekend and see you all on Monday!

EDIT:

I think the light in the room this time is a little bit better... The photo looks much fuller as a RAW image, which I realize is the point, but it's a bit frustraiting that the JPEG looks so much worse... ah well... you did warn us Frank!!
