Turning A Snapshot Into A Candid Portrait



So I took this photo at a family gathering and decided to use it to test a couple of new techniques. The first was using Nik Silver Efex Pro for turning color photos into black & white. it is a plug in program that works with Lightroom. Dozens of classic presets or you can adjust all the values yourself and make custom presets.

The other technique was using the Spot Removal Tool to get rid of a large object and replace with a color from somewhere else in the photo. In this case, I covered up the arm in the lower left hand corner of the image with the same color black as the rest of the shirt. Here is the end result.
