366 - Jim - Fake Rain

( f/11 70mm 1/125 sec ISO 200 Nikon D300 )

I wonder if anyone still looks at this blog to see if I post anymore... Anyways, I got Carol to let me take a photo of her hands with a light above and behind. I used a beauty dish to give a soft light, but also have the light fall off quickly. There was a Photoshop tutorial I watched and it inspired me to try it out. I had a blue monochromatic version of this, but liked the color version better. These Photoshop tutorials are awesome and I would really like to learn Photoshop better, so I will be watching more of them and maybe you will see some results here.

These are my mom's hands. She is holding a gift a student gave her a few years ago. My mom works for Student Services at CCAC and helps students that are having a hard time in school. She's a sweetheart.
