I have learnt how to deal with shadows.

Firstly, I'd like to acknowledge that it's been just over a year since my Grampy was taken, 21st April 2011 he lost the battle to live and passed away. 
Never a day goes by where I don't think of you.

Yes, it's true. There are lots of ways you can cure shadows and I admit; they have never bothered me before. However there is a photo I took some years ago of my Grampy Fred I wanted to desperately restore. Not that it is damaged, but I used a disposable camera and we all know how harsh any cameras flash is on the subject indoors, let alone a disposable camera..
Anyway, it wasn't just the shadows that annoyed me in the photo. Behind Grampy's right shoulder was a gentleman. I also wanted to remove him too.


Here's the finished article (I made the before and after into a collage).
As with all my other work, I have heavily water-marked my image to prevent it's removal from my site.

It certainly isn't perfect (well not to me anyway; but then again I am a perfectionist) BUT until my new software comes tomorrow it's all I can manage - and yes you heard right. I have MORE photography editing software coming, it's particularly built with the DSLR user in mind.. so we should get along just fine! :)
