Bollywood Dancers
These two photos are heavily photoshopped. The first photo is not one, but two images combined together, and on both of them the background has been tampered with. I shot these some years ago when I was hired to do some shooting for a film festival called Bollywood Filmfest in Oslo.
I don’t have a lot to say about these photos, so I’ll let the images do the talking (click for larger versions):

- Our fellow blogger Mr. Frizzie at flickrcomments arranges this thing he calls the A-Z archive. This week his theme in the A-Z Archive is the “P! challenge“, and since these images are photoshopped I thought I’d join his “P! challenge” – P as in Photoshopped.

These are very beautiful images that you have created. I brought Photoshop a few months ago and still don’t know how to use it. I even have two books that I got to help me, with no luck. Finally decided just to use trail and error method. Maybe someday I will be able yo do what you did. Ha Ha! Some people have it, some don’t.
BE ENCOURAGED! BE BLESSED!

I used Photoshop daily back in the days when I had an interesting job. That was before the “internet bubble” or the “dot-com bubble”.
I’ve continued photoshopping since then, but not professionally.
The trial & error method can be great, but if you really want to learn some techniques I recommend that you buy a book with a CD, or follow some tutorials.
There’s lots of free tutorials online.

Stunning and vivid, I like how you captured the richness of the colours with your work.

Thanks Ms. SMCWrites. It was a colourful film festival to be a part of.

Is it called High Dynamic Range (HDR) by combining at least two more photos?
April 18, 2012 at 03:34
No, it’s not HDR. HDR is used to enhance the colours. I’ve combined shots to add movement in the photo. You can read a good article about HDR in this excellent photo blog: http://www.unframedworld.com – What is HDR-photography?

Great photoshop. I haven’t gotten near that yet, it sounds daunting to me. These photos are great!

There’s no reason to be scared of Photoshop – it’s a photographers friend

I love Bollywood movies especially the dance sequences…
I’m finally catching up but will have to come back and comment later on other/ future posts. Thanks for your patience!

I used to enjoy Bollywood movies too, but (sadly) after you’ve seen a few you know them all.
