Stills That Move -- Paul Frocchi : Photo Keywords : 658 : May 2011 Separation Anxiety From DSS # Mom or Wow For the month of May, Separation Anxiety is by far my best work of the month. This image was shot for the Dgrin Digital Sharpshooters contest “Mom or Wow”. I’m finding my ability to visualize photographically is becoming much better, as I’m able to reproduce the vision in my head onto the card more consistently. I can’t say enough how helpful this is, in saving time and frustration. This particular image is exactly how I envisioned it. Stark background with the two orange fish. As there always is, there’s a bit of post work that has to be done to finish these types of setups. First off, because this is a composite (there was no way I was going to wait for the fish to swim to TWO exact positions….LOL) the one fish had to be masked in. Both have a slight vibrance and saturation adjustment to pop the orange, and the baby fish has it’s eyes slightly enlarged to exaggerate the ‘separation’. The only other adjustments were a leveling of the bowl, and a bit of tonemapping of the baggie and the bowl to bring out some depth in the brightness. I’m happy with that adjustment as its subtle, but really stands out naturally.
