Watters<br /><br />Description}: I took the photo of the Fish through the glass of my aquarium and avoided getting reflective particles in the water and glass by by pressing the lens against the glass and angling the externally attached flash upwards and holding a sheet of white card stock over the aquarium so the light would bounce back down onto the fish. Shooting straight on with the flash just made the water look murky. The ceramic clown mask I photographed at the childrens museum in London, Ontario. Next I brought both photos into photoshop, and masked around both fish and mask, added a black background layer, and made bubbles. Thus the ClownFish. http://gallery.photographyreview.com/showphoto.php?photo=190960&title=clown-fish&cat=500 http://gallery.photographyreview.com/showphoto.php?photo=190960&title=clown-fish&cat=500 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 21:03:09 -0400 Clown Fish <a href="http://gallery.photographyreview.com/showphoto.php?photo=190961&amp;title=clown-fish&amp;cat=500"><img title="DA_ClownFish_8X12_Inches.jpg" border="0" src="http://gallery.photographyreview.com/data/500/thumbs/DA_ClownFish_8X12_Inches.jpg" alt="DA_ClownFish_8X12_Inches.jpg" /></a><br /><br />by: Brian D.

I placed a coin on one of the steps to remind myself where the center of the body should go, and to help me position my arms appropriately. After all the potos were taken, I proceeded to use photoshops pen tool to create selections then masked each layer. Once masked, I went back under maximum zoom and used a soft fine brush to paint away telltale ghosting, or paint back portions I had ben sloppy one. :)<br /><br />1 comment http://gallery.photographyreview.com/showphoto.php?photo=190951&title=they-just-call-me-handy&cat=513 http://gallery.photographyreview.com/showphoto.php?photo=190951&title=they-just-call-me-handy&cat=513 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 20:04:27 -0400 They just call me Handy <a href="http://gallery.photographyreview.com/showphoto.php?photo=190952&amp;title=they-just-call-me-handy&amp;cat=513"><img title="Handy.jpg" border="0" src="http://gallery.photographyreview.com/data/513/thumbs/Handy.jpg" alt="Handy.jpg" /></a><br /><br />by: Brian D.
