Lets do it nicely....

Ok then ..I am just thinking of contributing something to my friend out of my not so boring days. Still have to wait for few days to leave Tharjath. Not to deny Nikon had gain a good reputation to be with us capturing every priceless moment during the stay. Ranging from D40 to D300, these are our companion to record every journey.

Have you ever wonder why our picture are not really good as what they publish over National Geographic Magazine.!@?...

Have you remember your Nikon editing software and tweaking a photo just to make it look like what they did?

Ok now take a look between these two photos.




normal picture from the camera on the left and National Geographic style on the right side






The picture on the right looks more dramatic with a shiny skin and sharper skin tone, shadow on the face look more accurate to tell the audience the the girl are photograph on a hot day. Texture on the shirt and the necklace are more sharper than the stock photo even the background looks more detail.

Kind of this picture usually found on established well known magazine.

Now I am going to tell you a secret to make it like other professionals. There will be two simple step to do it.

1. Go to Gimp and download this free image editing software.
2. Download plug-gin file to do the job for you. Can click here for the start.

Gimp software is totally free and simple to use, Gimp can be run on Linux and Windows environment.

Happy shooting to all my friends, my Nikon friends. Lets do it nicely.....

(I am taking more time to write a post than tweaking the picture above)
