Slightly shorter post. I was messing around with a polarized lens filter (mainly because I made a mistake and ordered a polarized lens filter as opposed to an ND filter). We were at Kinder Farm Park for these and yes, my youngest niece did do her own lipstick, how could you tell?
Anyway, I wanted to touch on editing in photoshop. It is always an option and is a very versatile tool. For example, I edited out some sun flare on a few of these photos. But there are two catches to this:
1) Photoshop is only as useful as you know how to use it and know how to do so effectively (and there is always more to know about it).
2) It takes time to do photoshop edits.
I think that’s something a lot of photographers or even small businesspeople in general or even just regular people forget: time is the most valuable asset and the easiest squandered asset you will ever have. You can invest money in something and get back more money in return, you can’t invest time in something and get back more time in return. So photoshop edits need to be balanced within reason.
Or better yet, try to get the photo done well enough so you don’t need to do much in photoshop at all.
