I had some free time today so decided to experiment with a
shot...
I took this selfie with my Sony A77, Carl Zeiss 24-70mm lens
mounted on a tripod and triggered with my remote while I stood in the bath (so
I had a tiled background).
Next came the editing. I always shoot RAW so that it gives
me more control when it comes to editing. For this I mainly use Lightroom and
for a few tweaks (in this case a lot) I use Photoshop. First off I adjusted the
contrast, exposure, clarity and tones of the image in Lightroom then exported
to Photoshop where I added a layer to make the tiles seem grubby, a layer for
the blood that appears splashed along the tiles and finally a layer of out of
focus blood to make it seem as though it had splattered on the camera lens.
I’m happy with the finished image. What do you think?
