It's an expensive hobby...

posted by LuisFico, Jan 2, 2007 5:38 AM — 1 comments

Well, first of all, a very happy new year to all of you fellow photographers!

On a second matter, I wanted to post a blog explaining the reason behind the removal of some of the photos in my gallery, and it is plain and simple: now I gotta sell them...

In fact, thanks to the kindness of my dear sister in love, I got to upgrade from my Cybershot, to a Nikon D70, and I've bought some cool toys for it! Including a SB-800 speedlight, a softbox, tripods, etc... the downside of all this good things is that this new hobby (more like a lifestyle) of mine, is becoming a concern in the expense section...

So i figured, if I can make some, at least a little cash out of my pics, maybe I can keep it up with this trend, but not otherwise, so I'm taking them to some of the popular RF sites and try to make a little profit.

I just had to write this because I still consider SXC my home, and will hope to keep beign an active member of the comunity.

So, wish me luck, and thanks for all your downloads and support so far!

Your friend Fico.

Photoshop fun making an eyeball - Updated!

For the pupil part where you say "Draw circle and feather 1 px," the tutorial is not clear.

Do not use the Shape tool. Instead, use the Elliptical Marquee tool and draw a circle. Then in the upper menu, go to Select > Modify > Feather. Choose 1px.

Then you can use the Paint Bucket tool to fill with black.
