I had to capture this moment of Alexi playing intensely with his blocks. He was setting them up and knocking them down while we were getting dinner ready. So of course, I had to run over and snap away.
I had a request yesterday to give tips, and I thought "Wow, I feel so honored."
This will be a PhotoShop Fun Tip!
Alexi was wearing a red, plaid shirt, blue socks and the carpet is colored, it looked pretty busy color-wise. But I loved the sun and shadows streaming in.
So in Photoshop, I made two copies of the photo. One was black and white and the other I kept in color. I layered the two copies (the black and white one was on top) and then I used the eraser tool to erase over the blocks thus revealing their color underneath. It's always a good idea to save it in layers (PSD) in case you want to make changes later.
Hope this was clear and helpful.

That was very helpful! thanks so much! Its another beautiful image! Ithink you're very talented. I need to get photoshop! I have digital image pro, and i think i need to upgrade.. What settings would you put your camera on to make the subject focus and the background blurred?
